How to Save Money on Airline Tickets

John Layton asked:


There are many websites promoting cheaper airline tickets. If you compare prices between the sites, and some sites even compare between other sites for you, you can find the best possible price. Many of the websites have a lowest price guarantee, so be sure to check the fine print in case you qualify for it.

Another way to save money is to request an e-ticket, instead of having traditional paper tickets delivered to you before the flight. They also have the safety feature of not being able to lose the tickets before the flight, especially if you book far in advance.

You can buy two “back-to back” cheaper round trip tickets instead of unrestricted tickets, which is more expensive. By using half of each set of round trip tickets, you save money. The major draw back to this is you can’t use them toward frequent flyer miles.

If you travel during the middle of the week, instead over the weekends, you can usually purchase cheaper airline tickets. The weekends are higher volume, so seats are at a premium.

Many times a flight with layovers will be cheaper than a direct flight, so if time isn’t an issue, you can save money there. The same goes for flying stand-by is also a money saver. You take the risk of not leaving at a scheduled time, but if you have an open-ended departure and arrival time, flying stand-by saves you quite a bit.

Packages deals that are bundled with either car rental or hotel stays can often get you a reduced airfare. This is a good deal, as long as you were already planning on having those expenses on your trip.

By adding yourself to travel website e-mail newsletters, the send out occasional special deals. If you are able to travel on short notice, some of the deals are well worth the money.

Another great way to save airline ticket prices is to fly to or from a smaller airport within driving distance of your destination. It’s possible to save up to $100 a ticket by doing this. It pays to do your research of the area surrounding your destination.

Another way to save money is by contacting a travel agent. Sometimes they are aware of deals that aren’t publicized on the websites. People have even found great travel deals in the newspaper.

One last way to save money on our airline tickets is to book as early as possible, before the prices rise. Keep an eye on the market value of the tickets and try to determine the best time to purchase your tickets.

Research and educating yourself is the biggest key to saving money when purchasing airline tickets.

What is the problem with the staff at American Airlines?

Kingfish asked:


In September, my wife and I took American Airlines for our honeymoon (big mistake) We live in Chicago, so we had to gto Chicago-Dallas, and then Dallas-Puerto Vallarta. Then coming home of course was the reverse order.

Anyway on the Dallas-Puerto Vallarta part, the came around with the beverage card and I got my drink. Then later in the flight I grabbed the flight attendants attention and asked for some water, and she repeated back to me ‘you want some water”, like I was from another planet. When I think they should be ASKING ME, if I want anything else.

Coming home was the same BS, came once with the beverage cart, and never bothered to ask if I was wanted anything else. Not to mention at the Gate in Dallas when trying to come back to Chicago, I asked the gate agent about upgrades and she gave me an attitude saying I can’t upgrade a discount ticket unless I was Elite or Gold status.

But anyway, seriously, on American, do I have to start hitting the call button every ten minuted to get better service? I’m seriously thinking about calling them,and telling them that I want to withdraw from the AAdvantage program.
