What day of the week is best to buy air tickets. You can buy train tickets cheaper. How much do air tickets to resorts cost now?

Many friends are surprised how I manage to buy air tickets 2-3 times cheaper than others. Some people do not believe that tickets abroad can be purchased much cheaper than within their own country. Yes, there are a few tricks here. I’ve been meaning to write this post for a long time and collect everything you need to know to buy cheap tickets. And finally :)

In this article, I will not tell platitudes about airline mileage programs, and that it is better to buy tickets in advance at sales - everyone knows about this. I'll try to give more practical advice. But I’ll start with the obvious... Many independent travelers They ignore charters, but in vain - this can significantly save money.

Lifehack 1. The first, most obvious thing is to take cheap tours or charter tickets when traveling abroad. But keep in mind that in this case you are limited either by the number of days of stay, or if you use a ticket only “there”, you can buy a return ticket very expensively.

Once I was lucky to buy two tours for the price of one flight “there” - this happens especially often in regions from where there are not always direct flights even to Europe, but charters do fly.

On the tour, you can only use the flight, and settle where it is more convenient, or arrange your own trip around the country. You just need to make sure that the return plane does not leave without you - after all, charters are often postponed. To do this, arrange for a travel agent to keep you informed, or return to your base hotel the day before departure.

It is better to plan your trip in advance and buy a single round-trip air ticket - usually such tickets are non-refundable and all changes can only be made for an additional fee, so the trip must be planned without changes.

Life hack 2. Round-trip tickets are usually cheaper than return-only tickets, so always check round-trip tickets rather than just one-way tickets.

But keep in mind that having bought a round-trip ticket, if you do not fly there, the return ticket will be lost. However, you can get sick and not go at all, and then what? Then even a non-refundable rate can be returned by additionally purchasing insurance.

Life hack 3. If you are afraid that you will not be able to fly, buy travel insurance that includes not only medical services, but also “trip cancellation” - this is cheaper than buying additional insurance on the airline’s website. But carefully read in the conditions what is insured - usually the insurance does not compensate for losses if you simply change your mind, but if you get sick and present a certificate from the hospital, then the money will be returned even for a “non-refundable” rate.

I have already written about which travel insurance is best to take.

There is an opinion that the best way is to sign up for newsletters about “reduced ticket prices” on airline websites, but this is just a clever trick by airlines to get your email. This way you will only receive advertising and news about promotions that are already known to everyone. Therefore, it is enough to subscribe to news and promotions from the airline on social networks.

Life hack 4. It is better to monitor low prices yourself, because... There are usually few really cheap air tickets, they are quickly sold out and such information does not reach the mailings.

But how to search correctly? If there are many airlines flying from your city, then monitoring all sites in search of cheap air tickets is quite difficult. I'm telling you:

Which website for cheap flight tickets is better?

You can buy cheap air tickets on the airline's website, or you can use aggregator sites. Where is better? If the price is not as important as the airline, we wait for sales on the airline’s website; if it is important to buy air tickets inexpensively, and at the same time you don’t care which airline, we use aggregator sites, also called cheap airline ticket sites. Moreover, on these sites you can find low prices, and end up buying on the airline’s website - such sites also show airline prices, and even low-cost airlines! Below I will show you how and where to look.

Many people know, for example, Yandex.Avia, but not everyone knows sites where you can not only compare tickets different airlines, but also choose the cheapest month; and if you have already chosen the month, then that’s it cheap destination, where to fly. It's very convenient when you want to fly somewhere, but it's cheap :)

Life hack 5. Using cheap flight ticket websites you can find most cheap city , where to fly, and also cheapest month, not just a day!

Where to look? I tried many different aggregators, but settled on Skyscanner - it’s most convenient to search not only for cheap air tickets, promotions and discounts, but also the cheapest month to fly or the cheapest destination. Moreover, you don’t need to go through all the cities, but you can simply ask:

Imagine that you would like to travel inexpensively... somewhere in Europe. Which city to choose, where is it cheaper to fly? Is it really necessary to go through all the cities and dates? No! I will explain in detail how this is done. But first, I’ll show you how to use such a site in general using the example of searching for a cheap air ticket within one country.

How to buy cheap air tickets within the country

We look for the cheapest direction using the instructions below. For example, consider searching for tickets from your city within one country. Let's see where it's cheaper to fly and in what month.

Instructions on how to find cheap air tickets, step by step

Lifehack 6. To fly cheaper:
- just take it with you hand luggage so that you don’t have to pay extra for luggage;
– check in online on the airline’s website, not at the airport;
– board the plane well-fed :)

What is included in hand luggage? Read in detail: . And also keep in mind that different airlines have different conditions - you will only find details on the airline's website.

If you are flying with your family and have a lot of luggage, then first calculate how much money you will end up with: ticket price + seats to sit next to you + luggage + food on the plane. Perhaps flying on low-cost airlines is ultimately unprofitable for you, then choose the next airline on the list (Step 4) and look at the conditions.

Lifehack 7. Use filters when searching for cheap flights. For example, you can exclude unloved airlines from your search results or search only for direct flights.

In other cities and countries, you need to search for air tickets exactly as in the instructions. Here are some more useful links to where it’s cheapest to fly:
from Novosibirsk cm.
from Kyiv for Ukraine, see
from Almaty for Kazakhstan, see
If it’s not clear how to search, ask in the comments, I’ll help.

What is a low price calendar

If you know exactly where you want to fly, then the easiest way to find the cheapest dates is using the low price calendar, as described above - Step 3. Or click on the link Moscow - Sochi, where instead of Moscow/Sochi, enter your cities “from” and “ Where".

  • the cheapest air tickets from Moscow to Simferopol
  • the cheapest air tickets from Kyiv to Odessa

How to buy cheaper tickets for direct flights

Most often, connecting flights are cheaper than direct flights, but this is not always convenient. Therefore, if you want to save money, but still fly on a direct flight, then you need to start looking for a ticket 6 months in advance, using the low price calendar, as in the instructions above. Or you need to look for the city you need among the Hidden City (intermediate city). This travel hack is based on the fact that tickets with transfers are cheaper than direct ones.

Life hack 8. The passenger does not have to fly all the way, he can get off at an intermediate stop! Such flights are sometimes more profitable than direct ones. This trick is called Hidden City.

Let me explain what Hidden City is. For example, you need to go to Paris, and tickets are very expensive. However, you have learned that there are cheaper flights that go somewhere else but stop in Paris. We take such a ticket, but we check in our luggage only to Paris, and in Paris we get off. Ready!
Keep in mind that this only works on a one-way ticket!!!

Example.
I'll show you what it looks like and where to watch Hidden City.
We need to take a direct flight from Moscow to Paris. Let's see - the lowest price is 6348 rubles, here:


In the photo: calendar of low prices for direct flights Moscow – Paris

If we look for flights with “hidden city” (we look at the cheapest flights from Moscow with one transfer - check the box “1 transfer” as in the picture below), we find that a flight from Moscow to Frankfurt with a stop in Paris costs 3,781 rubles.


In the photo: ticket price Moscow – Paris using “hidden city”

We just check in our luggage for Paris, and then get out in Paris! In total, we bought a direct flight to Paris at almost 2 times cheaper.

Finding Hidden City is not easy, but it is possible, for example, on the Skiplagged website (English) or in Russian - Skyscanner.

How to fly abroad cheaply

We are looking for air tickets in the same way as already described above in. Choose the desired country:


We just take into account that tickets to popular cities can be much more expensive than to less popular ones, from which you can comfortably travel by bus for pennies, and at the same time see another city and.


In the photo: wifi even worked on the Flixbus bus during the journey

By the way, such bus trips are especially popular in Europe.

Lifehack 9. Combine air travel with bus travel. If you're planning to visit a city that only has expensive airfare, check ticket prices in nearby cities and take a bus to the main city - you can save up to 70% on airfare!

For example, I want to fly to Vienna. Flights to Vienna are usually expensive. We open a regular map and find the nearest cities where air tickets are cheaper - Bratislava, Budapest (usually a flight is 2 times cheaper than to Vienna). From Bratislava to Vienna it takes 1 hour by FlixBus, costs 5 euros. From Budapest to Vienna it takes 3 hours by bus, costs 14 euros.
FlixBus is a very convenient low-cost bus service in Europe, I’ve traveled with them a lot. See instructions,

Without a doubt, the topic of the best time to buy an air ticket is not new and has been discussed more than once. However, airline sales strategies also change over time.

Perhaps at the end of the work week, most of all you want to buy an air ticket and get away somewhere, but it is not entirely profitable to do this, because it is closer to Friday that air tickets are usually sold at the highest price.

On average, airline tickets purchased on Friday are 13% more expensive than those purchased on Sunday, according to a study based on worldwide ticket sales for the past year in its entirety. While holidays are often booked at weekends, business travelers tend to buy slightly more expensive flights at the end of the working week.

Prices are highest on Fridays. Discount airfare deals typically run out by Friday, and many airlines are launching new sales and promotional airfare deals over the weekend to see how they stack up against rival airline offers. Thus, tickets at reduced prices are already sold out by the end of the week, until they are replenished with new special offers on the weekend or at the beginning of the week.

The hunt for cheap air tickets is a constant challenge for advanced travelers. Sometimes they see prices fall as soon as they book a flight, and sometimes they see prices rise when they expect them to go down. The study suggests that in reality there is no magic solution to finding the most best price In addition, buy tickets in advance.

How far in advance the air ticket is purchased is of great importance. The optimal time on average is about two months before departure. However, this time should be increased for long-distance flights. Intercontinental flights tend to be cheaper 4-8 months before departure. Many flights over 8 hours are cheaper to book even 7.5 months in advance.

However, trying to find the lowest price can be a losing proposition in the airline pricing game. Airlines typically do not actively begin adjusting seat prices on a given flight until 3 months in advance for domestic flights and 3-6 months in advance for international departures. Therefore, the likelihood of buying too early is low.

Tuesday is often considered the best day to buy a discounted air ticket. Managers who set ticket prices go to work on Monday and study sales made over the weekend. If not enough seats are sold, sales are organized and new prices are entered into the system on Monday night.

Two-thirds of all sales still hit online ticketing systems on Monday night and usually last only a couple of days. These sales, however, often offer tickets with restrictions and not for all destinations.

Airline fare pricing systems determine the price for each flight and compare it with competitors' prices. If there is a benefit in terms of departure time or ease of transfers, such tickets tend to be more expensive and vice versa. The system also takes into account the popularity of the destination and adjusts the price depending on how full the flight is.

The times when tickets could be bought very cheaply just before departure are almost completely gone. Currently, airlines manage to fill flights by 90%, leaving the remaining seats expensive for business tourists.

Unfortunately, there is no golden rule for purchasing the cheapest air tickets. It is only known that best time for this purpose - the weekend or the beginning of the week, although there is some chance, particularly lucky travelers can snag a discount on any day. For the greatest savings, you should avoid traveling to countries during high season. For most countries these are the summer months. For traveling around Russia, the high price of air tickets especially stands out May holidays. Many destinations become more expensive during the New Year holidays.

Avid travelers constantly travel around the world not because they earn a lot, but because they manage to get plane tickets at literally half the price. Let’s clarify right away: there is no secret here. Anyone can find cheap tickets if they want, the main thing is to know when and where you can catch the best deals. Let's reveal some secrets budget travel: when is the best time to buy air tickets and where to look for them.

Saving options

There are several ways to save on your flight. First, let's talk about the optimal time to buy air tickets.

Air tickets usually go on sale 330 days before departure. The carriers themselves say that the main way to save on prices is early booking. But it’s not always worth buying as early as possible. The fact is that airlines, when setting the cost of tickets for six months, are guided by the indicators of previous years: if last year the flight was filled to capacity, you should not expect a low price, it will be high. But they cannot predict demand for sure, so by choosing only this method, you risk overpaying.

It is advisable to buy tickets six months in advance in cases where the trip occurs during the peak of the high season. For example, you plan to go to Europe for Christmas, and in the summer - to resort centers Mediterranean Sea or to Crimea. Experts also advise booking tickets well in advance, from the moment they go on sale, to Asian countries and America.

It is optimal to purchase tickets to Europe (if it is not the high tourist season) two to four months before departure; for domestic flights within Russia - one and a half months before departure. This move allows you to save up to a third of the cost of air travel.

When should you not book tickets? The peak price value is set between 14-21 days before the departure date. If you buy during this interval, you risk overpaying.

In the last two days before departure, you can try to catch so-called “last minute” tickets. At this time, airlines, in order to fill all the seats in the cabin, sell them at discounts. Most often, such offers are found in resort destinations. For example, a day before departure, an air flight to Tunisia can cost you less than 7,000 rubles, while the average price of such offers can be almost an order of magnitude higher - 59,800 rubles. The downside of this method is the rather high risks. If you are unlucky, there may simply be no free seats in the cabin. But if you are a “free artist”, ready to go on a trip at any moment, this option is quite suitable. In order to “catch” favorable prices in time, it is worth subscribing to the mailing list of airline offers.

When is it profitable to buy plane tickets in Russia? Experts note that the demand for resort destinations is very high, so it is advisable to book tickets to Crimea in winter. Of course, it happens that you can catch cheap offers a month before departure, but you shouldn’t bet on it. There may no longer be any cheap tickets left, and purchasing them at the height of the tourist season will cost on average 50% more. The same applies to beneficiaries: if you want to fly to Crimea at preferential prices, then you should focus on the beginning of spring - it is at this time that subsidized air tickets go on sale. They are sold out very quickly, so it is important to have time to purchase them in the first days or even hours from the start of sales.

Time intervals

Now let’s figure out what time intervals: days of the week and hours are best to buy air tickets.

As the airlines themselves note, the main demand for air tickets occurs on Friday evenings and weekends. The fact is that most people, out of habit, go on vacation on Monday or Saturday. Accordingly, they plan to fly away on vacation these days. Therefore, even if airlines do not raise ticket prices, the cheapest offers are sold out faster these days.

It is optimal to plan a flight in the middle of the week: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, when there are fewer people interested, and, in turn, there are more cheap offers. It is believed that the best time to buy a ticket is Tuesday evening - Wednesday night. This is when airlines usually hold sales.

Flight time also plays an important role. There is an influx of passengers on morning and evening flights. Accordingly, the probability of catching a cheaper offer on an overnight flight or during lunch is higher.

Plan your vacation correctly

According to statistics, the most expensive flights are for the New Year, May holidays and in the summer. Carriers already know that they are likely to be in demand, which is why prices here are quite high. The situation is different when airlines cannot plan the loading of the aircraft in advance. It is during these periods that interesting price offers appear.

How to use this information for your own purposes? Just move your vacation one or two months away from the peak season. The weather at the resorts at this time is still excellent, and prices are already one and a half times lower.

For example, a good option is to go to Tunisia not in the summer, at the height of the season, but a little earlier - in April-May or the Velvet season in September-October. At this time it is quite warm here, and prices have already been reduced. Traveling around Europe is very comfortable in early spring or autumn. The high season in Thailand ends in February, but March is not too hot and humid, and vacation prices also become more attractive.

About booking methods

Now let's talk about the most profitable booking methods. Experienced travelers unanimously support booking air tickets online. There are several advantages of this method. This saves money (when purchasing tickets at the box office, you additionally pay a processing fee) and time (you don’t have to travel halfway across the city to the nearest ticket office). You determine the airline and price range yourself, and you can “play” with travel dates, choosing the most advantageous offer for you. Through the Network, you can register online by selecting in advance the best place in the cabin of the plane. In addition, you don’t have to worry about losing and forgetting your ticket at home: all this information is already entered into the airline’s database.

To find the best offer, it is appropriate to use online generators that, at your request, analyze hundreds of offers from airlines and agents. Moreover, tourists themselves recommend using not one, but several such aggregators at once in order to compare all possible options.

Airline offers

Sales and bonus programs airlines is a great way to save on your flight. From time to time, airlines offer discounts on fairly popular offers. Moreover, these offers are not always reflected by Internet generators, and purchasing tickets for the promotion is only available through the carrier’s website. To track them, you should subscribe to the airline's email newsletter: then you will definitely not miss a great offer. Specialized websites and groups in this area can help you in this matter. in social networks, publishing the most interesting promotions of carriers and tour operators, for example, the Airinme website.

Cheaper tickets are offered by airlines that have just entered the market or are planning to leave the air transportation market. The first ones are building a customer base, the second ones are trying to get maximum profit by filling the last flights.

Ways to fly cheap

How else can you save on your flight? One way is to purchase air tickets not one way, but round trip. This allows you to save 2-3% of the cost. The fact is that by selling return tickets for turnaround flights, the air carrier frees itself from additional search for customers.

Connecting flights are cheaper than direct flights. The inconveniences associated with the duration of the trip and the need to make transfers are compensated by reducing the price of the flight by 30%.

It is also worth paying attention to the “stopover” function when a passenger spends more than 24 hours at a temporary point of stay. You get the opportunity to walk around the city where the transfer takes place, and the airline compensates for the inconvenience by providing overnight accommodation and meals. This method is appropriate if docking occurs in visa-free country or you have it in your hands transit visa countries of temporary residence.

Another trick used by experienced travelers is the so-called “false transit”. Its essence is this: you buy a ticket for a flight with a connection, where the city you need is hidden in the middle of the route. That is, you do not get off at the end point, but at the time of transfer. But there are several nuances here. In particular, you must check your baggage only to the transit point; you will not be able to fly back on the same flight. However, with the right approach, this method also allows tourists to save money.

It would be a good idea to look at flight prices at nearby airports. Airline competition on flights from small provincial cities is quite low, so prices for flights here are higher. What should I do? Look at similar offers for flights from the capitals closest to you (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and others major cities). The likelihood of choosing the most convenient and economical route will be higher. Similarly, it happens that it is more profitable to fly to a neighboring city and then travel by other means of transport. But here it is important to take into account all other transport costs so that the total cost of the road (including flights and ground travel to the destination) does not turn out to be higher. This information is easy to find on the Internet, including on our website.

When searching for tickets through aggregators, it is useful to regularly clear your browser’s cache or even use incognito mode. The fact is that such services remember users and further differentiate the price range of offers. Various marketing and psychological techniques are used that are aimed at stimulating you to buy. For example, notifications are actively used that the last places remain in the direction you have chosen. To avoid unnecessary pressure, it is recommended to use anonymizers. This way you can see the actual airline offers.

If you are absolutely sure about your trip, then you can take a closer look at the so-called non-refundable air tickets. Their cost is lower than usual due to the impossibility of returning or exchanging them.

If you're traveling light, you can reduce the cost of your trip by purchasing tickets at fares that do not include baggage. But if you know for sure that you will have a suitcase, then purchase tickets with baggage included - the cost of checking baggage at the airport is noticeably higher.

We are looking for charters and low-cost airlines

Charters are non-scheduled but cheaper flights that are usually operated by tour operators. When purchasing such tickets, please note that offers are limited. popular resorts. Charter flights are often delayed and rescheduled, because the airport gives priority to regular flights. In addition, you will most likely have to buy a package tour, but sometimes tour operators offer them for sale separately. And yet such a proposal may well turn out to be cheaper than buying air tickets for regular flights.

Another alternative is to buy air tickets from low-cost airlines. Tickets from budget airlines are significantly cheaper due to the minimum number of services included. So, you will have to pay extra for baggage, for the ability to choose a seat on the plane, for making changes to the ticket, for meals and other services on board. If this doesn’t bother you, and you are used to traveling “light,” then you should take a closer look at such offers.

You can save up to 40% of the cost of a flight by creating your own itinerary when you include flights from different types of airlines. For example, from Russia to Europe you fly with one airline, and then use the services of local low-cost airlines.

What other nuances should beginners consider?

When searching for air tickets, you should “play” with the days of the week, checking prices not only on the day of the planned trip, but also on neighboring dates. It may well turn out that tickets will be cheaper on these days, and it will be much more profitable for you to postpone your vacation by one or two days.

Airline bonus programs allow you to save money. To join the program, you need to register on the carrier’s website and enter data on the purchased tickets. For completed flights you will be awarded bonus miles. Subsequently, you will be able to pay for your flight, airport transfer, hotel rental and other services provided by the airline.

Frequent flyers sign up for co-branded cards with airline partner banks. For example, Sberbank of Russia and Alfa Bank cooperate with Aeroflot. Holders of these cards can earn additional miles simply by paying for purchases in stores.

Booking aggregators themselves also cooperate with airlines, providing regular customers with personal discounts when purchasing air tickets.

If you see a very cheap offer, then hurry to take advantage of it. Such tickets sell like hot cakes - literally in a few hours. It happens that the unrealistically low cost of an air ticket hides a banal program error in calculating the fare. Then you only have a couple of hours left to buy a ticket, because soon the airline will notice its mistake. Don't be afraid, you don't risk anything: even if the carrier cancels the ticket, he will return your money in any case.

As you can see, there are many ways to save on your flight. Plan your trip wisely, use the tips above, subscribe to newsletters for great offers and fly around the world at half price.

In my opinion, it’s no secret that tickets purchased in advance always differ in price. It has happened to me more than once in my life when I was looking at tickets to hometown for several months and the price was much lower than, for example, for a month. At the same time, my friends often asked me why I take a ticket in advance, because there is still so much time before departure. There is only one answer: if you want to save money, this is the best option.

There are several factors to consider when purchasing your airline ticket in advance. First, you must know for sure that you can fly. I always plan my vacation a year in advance, and notify about it at work.

As a result, I already know exactly what dates I need to look for a ticket for. This helps me cut down on expenses. But if you cannot know for sure whether you will be able to fly at this time, then you should not buy a ticket in advance. When returning a ticket, a fee is charged, and this is a waste of money.

Secondly, it is worth remembering that on holidays and during high seasons, tickets will be much higher in price. Therefore, you should take them no earlier than 2 months in advance. Thirdly, I bought a ticket to Europe in advance, but I didn’t have a visa yet. And this is a risk, so it’s worth taking it into account.

I found out that sales start about a year before departure, but it all depends on the airlines. It is most reasonable to make a purchase from eight to two months.

Reservations for air tickets are also provided if you find a convenient date and low price for the flight. This also has its limitations, the reservation lasts from several hours to several days, everything again depends on the air carrier.

When I plan to fly somewhere profitable, I not only focus on the season and destination, but also try to purchase a ticket before the rush begins. There is no point in delaying, because you don’t have to run anywhere to buy it. You can take out a loan or installments, or pay by card.

By purchasing a plane ticket in advance, you can track all sorts of promotions and special offers from the airline. Thus, without overpaying for your trip.

If your goal is to quickly and comfortably get to your destination, then air travel is just what you need. Now, in order to be anywhere in the world, it is enough to spend just a few hours high above the ground on board a comfortable aircraft. Of course, you have to pay for such pleasure, and, as a rule, a lot of money. However, experienced travelers know that It’s quite possible to save on air tickets: just take care of purchasing them in advance. And it is quite understandable that many people now have a question about how many days in advance they can buy a plane ticket.

To anywhere in the world in a few hours

Each airline has its own rules for selling tickets. Typically, the possibility of booking and purchasing becomes available several months in advance, but for some flights pre-sales can begin a year in advance (although few people can plan their upcoming trip with such accuracy).

You should book plane tickets at least three weeks before the desired date, since after this period the price of the flight will begin to rise sharply.

Some of our compatriots sincerely believe that purchasing air tickets a few hours before departure is most profitable. But this is a misconception that most likely appeared due to the tourist concept of “hot travel”, when tour operators lure clients with tempting offers at the very last moment. But you need to understand that buying a tour and buying a plane ticket are completely different things.

When thinking about how many days in advance you can buy a plane ticket, it is worth remembering the following facts:

  • airlines set the highest prices on the eve of departure;
  • a slightly lower price can be seen three days before departure;
  • purchasing tickets less than two weeks in advance will always result in an overpayment;
  • a week before departure, the overpayment can reach 40%.

Optimal time to buy air tickets

Of course, you need to buy tickets in advance. But too early is also bad. A noticeable price reduction occurs only after 4 months (for domestic flights) and 5 months (for international flights). The only exception is the purchase of tickets for New Year's or spring holidays.

So why shouldn't you book your flights too early? The point is that the formation pricing policy Special programs are available for tickets. They take into account a huge number of factors, including information about last year’s demand. Therefore, if a person decides to buy tickets too early, he risks being overpaid for last year’s demand.

Expert opinions vary regarding the most favorable time to purchase air tickets. But there are “magic” numbers that were derived by CheapAir specialists. In their opinion, the best time to buy a ticket for a domestic flight is 54 days. And if we talk about international flights, then with the maximum benefit you can buy a plane ticket 60 days before departure.

Book your tickets early, but not too early

Of course, we should not forget that there are destinations that always have high passenger traffic. We are mainly talking about the most popular tourist resorts that receive guests all year round. The price for these flights will always be approximately the same high. Also, you should not expect a noticeable drop in ticket prices if your destination is some hard-to-reach airport in a small town.

Plane ticket sales usually begin 331 days before the flight.

But these terms may vary depending on the air carrier. A great way to always stay up to date with the latest news from airlines is to subscribe to their email newsletters. You can also find them official groups in social networks. Using these sources, you can find out about various sales, special offers and promotions for the purchase of air tickets.

Now the main thing is not to lose your ticket

Other “signs” about buying air tickets

Some experts and travelers say that flights that fall on Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday are the cheapest. In addition, not only the day of the week is important, but also the time of purchasing the ticket. The fact is that prices for the same flight can change up to three times during the day!
