I always love to travel around exploring the world but also love to save my pocket as much as I can. Travelling is actually no fun if you don’t know how to save your pounds. Many of the travelers think that it can be either one; you can travel cost-effective by visiting a country or a city in off- season or can tour at peak time by spending too much. If you are initiating your flight from London then the rules to grab a cut-rated flight are not much different than the rules in rest of the world. London is hub of flights that provides indirect, direct, non- stop and connecting flights. Today, I will share my experience with you and will tell you a way that how you can travel in peak season while not spending much on your flights.
Indirect booking:
first comes first; a traveler must book his or her flight via indirect means. It means that do not go to the airline website straight for booking yourself for a flight. It may be easy to carry the procedure and requirements but will make you pay more too. Try to book yourself thru various online travel agencies. The travel agencies not only cooperate to provide you any information and tip you requisite but also try to cut-off your flight expense as much as they can. Why? Because they want you to consult them for your next trip as well. These travel agencies look all of your travelling matters and also bestow a cheap flight. Be aware of the travel agencies too as there are some of them where your pocket can be ripped off by paying more.
Choose budget friendly airlines: there was a time when travelers have to pick among the five or six top airlines and had no choice. Either these top airline bestowed expensive flights or not, passengers were obliged to fly with them. But now the time has changed so as the rules. There are dozens of budget friendly air carriers providing inexpensive flights to the passengers. Some of the most prominent airlines that fly cheap from London include Flybe, Ryanair, Thomas Cook, Vueling Airs, Wizz Airs, Easy Jet, Eurowings Airline, Norwegian Airline and Aigle Azur.
Choose the right time:
By choosing the right time, I did not mean to visit your dream destination in the off- season as the flights are economical at that time but what I meant was the time of booking your flight. For instance, let’s say you are planning a tour from London to New York and the best time to visit New York is December and January. You have to tour the city in some other month like October or June to save your money. It will bring cheap flight to you but you will miss the glamour that comes in December and January because of Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Book yourself at the right time; I am not recommending to book as prior to yourself as you can because it too will bring no good. Try to book neither too early nor at the last- minute. There are times when booking early steals the chance of enjoying a discount from you.
Mistakes are helpful sometimes:
May or may not you have heard about the mistake fares; you will be glad after hearing it today. Mistake fares are the errors in flights’ cost that make a flight worth to its fraction cost. The error is actually an opportunity for the travelers so if you have hand on one, make sure to use it well. Mistake fares are actually a win-win situation in which you are at no loss at all. The mistake is by default so if you book yourself at that time, you can enjoy the cheapest flight you ever had. If not, then the airline will refund your money because it is a mistake by their side.
Fly indirect:
This is the most useful tip in a leisure trip; instead of flying direct to your destination, fly with a stopover in it as it will bring you a flight far less costly. For example, I had to travel from London to Bali as I had heard a lot about the attractions, cuisine and theme parks of the city. The flight I was about to take via Singapore Airs cost 546 pounds which was too expensive for me. I sort it out in two small flights; first I fly from London to Bali in just 15 pounds and then started my second flight half by flying from Rome to Bali in 346 pounds. The total of my two flights was 361 pounds where if I had taken the direct flight from London to Bali, it would cost me 546 pounds. The difference between the two flights is huge enough to change your route from direct to indirect one.
