Michael Bluejay showed us all how to cut costs on electricity (very, very thoroughly I might add) and now it's air travel. I will share his 10 tips but I highly recommend you visit his site for the explanations. He has charts, graphs, and it's immediately obvious to me that he did a lot of homework on this project.
If that's not enough, he also goes on to compare the travel search engines, provide travel tips, etc.
- Be flexible with your travel dates
- Book at least two weeks ahead, preferably three
- Staying over Saturday no longer necessary
- Fly mid-week if you can
- Using neighboring airports sometimes gets you cheaper airfares
- Always check the round-trip price even if you're flying one-way
- Avoid busy holiday dates
- Book multi-city trips using the special search
- For U.S. to Europe, fly to London first
- Use the proper website to search for airfare
