Most of us are harrowed while searching for the best fare or even the best deal. With a plethora of online flight booking search engines, comparing flight tickets gets tedious.

These tricks are not exhaustive, neither are they exclusive. Depending on the situation, you may have to use multiple tricks together. 1. Choose an offseason date for your travel There is really no rocketscience behind this. If you make reservations during peakseasons, you might really be charged a bomb. Off season charges are always less. 2. Set a fare alert Say you want to fly MumbaiAmritsar, but never buy a flight ticket because the air fares are always high. You can actually set up an alert on most search engines, wherein you’ll receive an email everytime the price increases or decreases. 3. Check for hidden charges Some search engines may show you lower fares initially, but later as you proceed to payment, convenience fees or taxes may be levied. Therefore, your comparison must include the total cost, otherwise you’ll feel cheated. 4. Book for a flight and hotel combo Booking for a flight and hotel can help you save big on your journey. This technique of bundling works most of the times 5. Kill the cookies As strange as it may sound, deleting your computer’s cache and cookies will do wonders, if you are searching rates for the same route again and again. Some online retail sites store your browser’s cookies and show a hiked price when you search for the same route http://in.musafir.com/Blog/15_Hacks_To_Make_a_Smart_Decision_While_Booking_Your_Flight_Tickets.aspx 1/3

Watch out for special promo codes and discount codes Many online travel companies offer discounts in various slabs to entice customers to book with them. You may get the cheapest deal on your flight ticket, if you are smart enough to use a promo code. 7. Sign up for newsletters Never miss an update, always check your emails to keep a tab on all the deals and discounts that come your way. From airline sales offers to latest travel updates, you will receive almost everything in your inbox. 8. Follow social handles Airlines and online travel portals always talk about these deals and discounts on their social channels. If you follow them, you will always receive an update on your feed. This is not it, new routes, additional frequencies and free giveaways always find a platform here. 9. Use frequent flyer miles Travel often by a single airline? Then this is definitely for you special fares, special seats and special redemption points. Most of us book flights depending on who gives us the cheapest fare. However, if you have a frequent flyer program, you will actually end up saving more. You can always redeem the accumulated points for your next trip. 10. Keep flexible travel plans You’ll generally find flight tickets priced higher on weekends and public holidays. Since the demand on other days is lower, these fares are naturally lower. 11. Consider an alternate airport Take an instance where MumbaiDubai flight tickets are priced at Rs. 2X, but MumbaiSharjah fares cost only Rs. X. In such a situation, you could opt alighting at Sharjah rather than Dubai, because it saves you huge bucks. 12. Consider the inclusions and exclusion on your flight ticket Some airlines charge extra for food, check in baggage and other services. If you are the one needing them, then you should definitely look for such inclusion in the ticket. 13. Look for flight cancellation and reschedule charges At the time of booking you may not feel that you’d cancel or reschedule a trip, but you never know. It is always wiser to check these options while booking a flight, especially if the tickets are on sale. 14. Consider unusual hours Sometimes late night flights and early morning flights can be cheaper than other flights. So, if you’re ready to compromise on your sleep, then you might end up with a lighter pocket. 15. Consider booking with a low cost carrier It may sound dim, but low cost carriers in India are doing big. They may charge you for that meal or extra baggage, but you’ll receive great service. Airlines like IndiGo, Air India Express, AirAsia India are great to travel with.
