How to Find a Cheap Flight

Unless you’re Paris Hilton or someone that has their own private jet and an unlimited budget, you’re probably looking for cheap flights every time you’re traveling. Well, there are so many sites out there, so where do you start? We’ll share some tips and tricks with you – hopefully you’ll find them useful.

  1. When you’re looking for cheap airfare make sure you check several sites before buying.

  2. Student travel sites should be part of your search – just because you see the words student discounts in an ad doesn’t mean they actually give you a discount.

  3. Be flexible, search for alternative departure and return dates – it can make a big difference.

  4. Don’t procrastinate! We know it sounds like a tall order, but don’t wait too long – tickets get more expensive and you might not even find seats.

  5. Watch out for hidden costs, like student identification cards (can cost you more than $22 extra).

  6. Explore! How about looking for deals instead of destinations?

  7. Avoid popular travel periods and you’ll find great offers.
