Do you want to book a low cost flight, but you don't know where to leave from? Here you will find 5 practical and precise tips that will make you find your plane ticket at the lowest price and leave for the destination of your dreams.
One of the latest news that came out on the travel low cost by plane, is to know when to book before suffering for the holiday. In fact, a mathematical formula tells you when to book exactly to get the lowest price from that airline. Do you want to know how many days before? Only 10: D Certainly this formula is not for people who get anxious, for those who already 8 months earlier they need to know where they will go on vacation in September. The formula is for the daredevils, let's call them that, for those who care little where they go on vacation, but who care about spending as little as possible, always visiting beautiful places.
With this post I want to help you and find together with you, 5 low cost tips to travel well by plane and save money.
Find flights on specialized search channels
Often and willingly if I have a specific airport to depart from or a destination that does not take away from my head, I go to see some sites that allow me to select the departure airport or destination and everything else is selected by the search engine at the lowest price. Let me explain, some sites allow you to select Bologna as the departure airport and, only after having entered at least the departure and arrival date, do I offer a wide choice of destinations, in Italy and in the world, to choose from. Obviously my advice is not to book from these sites, but to see the routes and destinations we like the most and the cheapest and then go to the website of the airline that deals with them, to book them independently. In fact, these sites most often take a small percentage of the total spend. It is not much, but it is always a saving not to proceed in this direction.
Watch out for optional items
Many are wrong in one of the most delicate moments of the reservation. Often the sites, once you have decided on the flight, destination and people, make you do a series of really boring steps, in which however you have to be more than careful. For example, insurance or car rental purchase are items that you can skip. Where you cannot specify your disagreement, you can go and see the rumor Travel insurance not required in the drop-down menu that appears in front of you. Every now and then they invent one, just to make you confused ... you will come to think that you have to buy insurance or book a car with them, but be careful because it is not!
Book without fees
Arriving at the time of payment, there are often two options to choose from: payment by card Visa or Postepay circuit standard and card payment Postepay gift or new gift that follow the Mastercard circuit. With the first two the price rises by a few euros, while with the second two the price remains unchanged. If you are an avid traveler, but even if you simply book two of you a year, it might be interesting to go for the second card and then go to the post office. A postepay new gift card costs 7 euros, with a 5 euros minimum deposit. In this way, you can only load the card with the money you need to buy the ticket whenever you want and pay for your flights at no additional cost.
Pay with paypal
Haven't I convinced you with Postepay, Mastercad and Visa? There is always Paypal :) Yes, you read that right. In fact, some airline allows you to pay even with the money you have in your postepay. One thing that seemed wonderful to me since it is very easy to have extra money not yet spent on Paypal. Specifically I found Germanwings, Lufthansa and AirBerlin as companies that allow this procedure. If you find others, let me know because it interests me a lot :)
From 18 August also i Ryanair flights can be paid with Paypal! :)
Book on Wednesday
The same research we were talking about at the beginning of the post, would recommend booking Thursday because it saves a few euros. On the other hand, Fridays and Sundays should be avoided when i prices would appear to be 7% higher compared to other days of the week. One thing that may seem absurd, but if you think about it, how many times do you book holidays for the weekend? On weekends you can relax, have more time and even carefree to decide the destination for the next holidays. On working days, unless you are on vacation, who has time to go to the computer and stop the flight? The advice I give you then is, next time you have to book, to prepare everything for the reservation on Sunday, and then arrive on Wednesday and book.
