6 Ways to Book Cheap Airfare Even When There's No Airline Sale

For those who are passionate about exploring new destinations, the journey should never stop. But staying on the move takes money, and one of the main things that can help you save money is by cutting down on your flight costs.

If you are someone who wants to travel all the time, there is no way you will wait until the holiday season or off-season when most major airlines offer special rates. The truth is that you can buy tickets at competitive prices from the largest airlines and agencies in Kazakhstan at any time of the year.

All you need to do is follow these simple tips every time you want to book your tickets.

#1 Book in advance
It may sound cliché, but there is no better way to get a cheaper airfare than to plan your trip in advance and book your tickets at that time. No matter what kind of discounts or offers come, booking early has always proven to be the best way to get a discount on airfare.

#2 Use incognito mode
Why do you think you see an increased amount almost every time you visit a flight booking site. Well, don't take these portals for fools. Your cookies and server information are automatically recorded on these portals. So, the moment the system reads that you are visiting the website for the second time and after a few days, it will definitely offer you an increased airfare. The best way to avoid this is to use private browsing mode or the popular incognito mode in Chrome browsers. If you are using your browser normally, make sure you clear your cookies or simply open the website from a different browser or computer.

#3 Use flight comparison websites
Remember to use multiple flight comparison websites before you book your flights, no matter how rushed you are. Also, don't select a specific departure date—instead, select the entire month to find out when the cheapest time to fly is.

#4 Choose different airlines

Agree, the easiest way to book air tickets for a trip is to book a return flight. Plus, the general consensus is that return flights are cheaper. But the truth is completely different. Make an extra effort to take advantage of flights offered by other airlines and be more transparent about your flight times. Trust us, you'll definitely find a cheaper deal.

#5 Don't book for the weekend.

Contrary to popular belief, booking flights for the weekend is not a good idea. If you notice, airfare usually goes up on Friday and starts to drop sharply on Monday or Tuesday. Based on my observations over a six-month period, Wednesdays and Thursdays are the cheapest days to book flights.

#6 Use the airline's website to make reservations


With the growing number of travel booking websites, it is always easier to choose Makemytrip or Goibibo for booking your flight. But these websites are smart and no matter what discount they show you the moment they show you the search results, the moment you try to book, you will end up paying the increased amount. This is because they include a service charge while preparing your final invoice - very reasonable, right? Well, they should also receive their income. So next time, make an extra effort to visit the official website of the airline and book your desired flight from there. Trust us, you'll definitely save at least a few hundred dollars, if not more.

Happy travels around the world, friends!
