Low Airfares

by Sandy Baker

Do you have a trip in mind? Looking for low airfares to get you there? All is not lost. You can find a great deal on airfare if you take the time to look for it. Low airfares are actually quite common right now, due to the sluggish travel industry.

The more open minded you are about your trip, the better your chances are of finding low airfare. Begin your search by deciding what is the most important thing for you. Is it getting there quickly and in one shot? Is there a specific date you must travel? Being open about these things can provide for some great opportunity.

For instance, if you can be more flexible in the date you arrive and return from your destination, perhaps you can find a better rate by flying during the week? Flying out on a Friday is often much more expensive then flying during the week. Also, taking a flight that has a lay over may seem like a big hassle, but it may save you some big bucks.

Of course, you should take the time to compare and contrast what the airlines have to offer. Often times, you can do this right online. There are also travel sites that claim to help you with your travel plans. But, don't just use them. Find the prices for yourself through the airlines as well. Why do this? Well, for one they may get you a good deal, but will their extra fees eat away at this saved money?

The best advice that can be given is to do your research. Find out your options. Most importantly, be as flexible and open as you can. Also, don't forget to ask for a discount. Many times, airlines are not going to give you the lowest airfare unless you ask. Of course, this may take you some extra time, but it may pay off with allowing you to have a little extra cash in your pocket come time for your vacation. That makes it worth it!

Cheap International Plane Tickets

by Steve Gillman

The best place to buy cheap international plane tickets is online. We've tried travel agencies and they can't compete with the discount ticket websites. You can search google ("cheap airfare South America", for example), or go straight to one of the well-known sites, like Expedia, Travelocity, Cheap Tickets, Hotwire or Priceline.

I just did a quick search for the cheapest airfare from Tucson, Arizona, to Buenos Aires, Argentina, using the five sites mentioned. They ranged from $1221 down to $873, and there were fares as high as $3728. Hotwire happened to have the cheapest, but they were the worst of the five when I searched for a domestic flight earlier.

How Airlines Reach Out to Serve You

by Geranas Strahl

In a world where people are more mobile than in any previous generation, travelers have come to expect many little, and not so little, extras from the airlines. From a young mother keeping her attention focused on small children, to a business person experiencing their own particular pressures, the challenge of time spent traveling can be daunting.

Even ten years ago the actual time in the air was small compared to the challenge of traveling to the airport, and once there finding a parking spot and getting from the car to the check-in-counter. Long lines were not uncommon and there was nothing to

Consequently, to buy an airline ticket has become an option for more and more people. Why is this so?

Flying is cheap as chips – but no chips

by Gareth Powell

Here's a bit of airline history which I had the devil of a job researching. In 1951 fewer than ten percent of the population of the United States had flown and the number that had flown internationally was miniscule. The standard round trip fare New York - London was $US711.

53 years later exactly that same price is available today from Virgin Atlantic, despite changes in the cost of living. It's difficult to adjust this to today's prices simply on the cost of living because there are so many different and varying factors.

One way is to take a basic commodity, a house.

In 1951 a three bed-roomed house
