So sistrens what are some of cool tips on buying flights in advance or just in general. I like to know how cheap do you guys pay for flights.

Planning on doing Vegas in july and want to get a ticket for at least 200-300 round trip.

Don't book too far in advance but not too close to departure date either, browse the internet and try to fly early or late on the day and not in the afternoin, it's usually cheaper

If you visit the same online website for flights, some of them are programmed to make the ticktes more expensive.

Someone told me this once, and told me to delete the cookies or cache or whatever it is.
Don't know if it's true tho

You have to go on incognito mode, i got my ticket to LA for $300 down from $450

Funny because I was searching this up for my sister today. Book tickets months way before your flight, compare tickets on comparison sites and maybe stop at another country first in between flights . It's also cheaper to go on holiday in the winter

!

If you're a frequent flyer, make sure to sign up for the mileage programs
American Airlines + Emirates have the best freq.flyer deals for both local + int flights (I think I'm due for a free return ticket to any destination via Dubai, actually )

They only got sued because the airline companies were mad. Nothing he's doing is illegal; it's just a hidden practice that he made public to everyone.

But I used the site and haven't found any cheaper prices

Frequent flyer programs, LAYOVERS, budget airlines like Southwest, horrible seats (last/exit rows, middle seats), book several months in advance.

Sometimes, though, if you want a certain flight at a certain time, you're going to have to pay up. For example, when me and my family went to Tokyo in Nov. 2012, we paid around $2000 per ticket one way (those were nonstop though).

I'll use Tokyo as an example to show how booking flights with connections are much cheaper.

Boston to Tokyo nonstop - $2083
Boston to Detroit to Tokyo - $1405

Is this the place where you choose to go somewhere you don't want to go, but the stopover is the place you want to go and you just stay there?

Yup

Legally, "hidden city" flights are such a mess.

Mess it would take me 23 hours to get to london from Edinburgh by the hidden city route when I'm only 4 hours by train

Sorry. I might just be really tired, but can you explain what you just wrote in very basic English.

Oh interesting.


Slay sis.

This

eDream.net has been really good to me. I see vegas tickets for $300 per person when its usually $500 where I stay at.

Thank me later. They do their deals based off of mileage, and they'll inform you on some GOOD ****.

Like last week when they found an insane deal from NYC to Abu Dhabi for $187.
