How To Find Cheap Flights
To make for easy reading I’ve listed the tips in point format. Of all the reviews I’ve written online these are my major points to consider.
Book in advance
Making an early booking is one way of getting a cheap flight. Do not wait until the last minute or else you will be charged “last minute” fees, which are normally exorbitant. Booking early is always an advantage even as early as 10 weeks if possible..
Travel midweek
The week days are really the best times to travel that is between Monday and Thursday. The rest of the times the fares are much higher. I mean the weekends are considered peak time since everyone is traveling – if you want to fly cheap to SA, avoid weekend flights.
Book indirect flights
One thing is certain – direct flights are pricey. So the convenience of flying diredt comes at an expense.. If you are looking for the cheapest flights in the literal sense then direst flights are not an option.
Travel in winter
If you ever compared flights in summer and winter then you’d know that winter prices are cheaper. This is because winter is considered off peak in South Africa i.e. midyear since we are in the Southern Hemisphere.
Travel at night
Most flights do occur during night times. However there are also day-flights, which you must avoid if you want to fly cheap. It always a good idea to double check however as sometimes the day flights might be offering a discount.
