Fly
mid-week
Book your flights midweek; it is
not only cheaper to fly Wednesday to Wednesday
than over the weekend, it is also cheaper to book
during the week. Most airlines bump their prices
up at the weekends because they know this is when
most people have the time to research and book
holidays. Come Monday, booking prices drop again.
Choose your budget carrier
wisely
You might be
able to find a £1 return fare with the low-budget
carrier Ryanair, but make sure you maximise it
by using the right card to pay. Most credit cards
will incur a payment handling fee of £5,
and that's per person, per one-way flight! If
you are travelling as a family, that ultra-cheap
flight can come to seem less of a bargain.
Also, most budget airlines do charge for carry
on or checked in baggage; weigh the pros and the
cons to see if it is not better to simply go with
a standard airline.

How
to choose your flights
Plan early and book your flight well in advance
if at all possible. This is because the smaller
the gap between the booking date and the travel
date, the higher the price you pay.
It is also important when choosing and booking flights
to consider more than the price. Just as passengers
are always looking for bargains, the same way, airlines
are also seeking for ways to make some profits.
Consider how much it would cost for you to travel
to and from the airport where you flight would be
leaving from. Low cost carriers like Ryanair fly
to Frankfurt-Hahn airport in Germany which is a
two-hour bus drive from Frankfurt city.
