7 Ways to Save Money when Booking Flight -7种省钱的订购机票方法

in #busy7 years ago

Dear steemit friends,

Today I want to share with you some of the tips that I always use for
my flight booking. If you are a wanderlust like me and don't want to
pay for expensive air tickets, I hope this post will give you some
tips.

今天我想和大家分享一些我购买机票时会注意的事项,相信各位驴友也不想把钱花在昂贵的机票上,希望这篇文章能给您一些小小的提醒。

(1)Book when there is promotion

在促销期间购票

Super simple, but personally it's one of the best ways to get the
cheapest price in my opinion. Most of the promotions are also offered
months in advance so you can plan ahead. I just sign up for the
airline newsletter and always get informed whenever they are having
some massive discounts.

个人觉得这是最简单却也是最有效的方法。大部分的优惠票通常在我们出行前数月就可以预订了,我会注册航空官网账号以持续关注打折讯息,所以一旦有超低价促销时也能马上留意到。

(2)Book in advance /Be flexible with travel dates

提前订票,且不要拘束出游时间段

It's amazing how much money you could save just with one day
difference. Most of the time, flight leaving on friday or Saturday are
much expensive. Sometimes, you can even end up saving a few hundred
bucks which you can use to book for your next flight.

基本上周五或周六的航班会来得更昂贵。值得一提的是,有时仅仅一天之差,或许就能省下足以让你购买下一趟航班的数百元费用。

(3)Travel in low season

选择淡季出行

Although travel in low season has some disadvantages like the weather,
but the prices on flights/accommodations are so reasonable that for me,
I would consider booking. I use weather forecast to check before I
book. And also during off season, you could get a whole place to
yourself.

虽然淡季可能有气候不佳等不足之处,但就我看来这是只要在购票前善用天气预报就可以弥补的。这段期间的票价明显更合理,而且因为避开了旺季人潮我们将更能尽情享受旅途。

(4)Buy when airline launch new travel destination

尝试航空公司推出的新航线

It doesn't happen that often but it's also one of the tips that u can use.

这种状况比较难得,百试不爽。

(5)Use google flights (www.google.com/flights )

使用“google flights”

This is the site I use for most of my booking. I love using
google flights as the site choose the cheapest airfare for me. I can
even keep tracks of the prices on my mailbox.

我最爱也最常使用的比价网站,通过它我能选出最便宜的机票,平日里它的邮件也能让我掌握机票价格动态。

(6) Use skyscanner (www.skyscanner.com)

使用“skyscanner”

Another website that you can use. It's very similar with googleflight.

与“谷歌航班”很相似的另一个订票平台。

(7) Remove additional add on/ luggage fees

去除附加费用/托运费

If you fly with budget airlines, it's no surprise that they will try to
earn with additional add ons. Sometimes, they are being added
automatically so don't forget to remove all the unnecessary add on. I
travel mostly on carry on so I never have to pay for additional
luggage fees.
For eg..

  • seat selection
  • Luggage fees
  • Meal option
  • Insurance
  • Credit card processing fees

注意廉价航空某些设置成默认选项的额外收费如行李托运,去除不必要的花销。另外,我会尽量简装出行,这样我就不必支付行李费了。

Nice article

thank you..

U are welcome😉👍

Great tips. Here's another one. Always book on a Tuesday as the flights are cheaper. Never book on Friday or weekend as you will pay more! Thanks for sharing @aburmeseabroad

Thanks for your tips!

No problem at all :)

wow, nice tips especially this holiday season and i now know about google travels! and i think some folks also ensure price hikes especially travel agents by booking up major seats during rush travel holidays ahead of time so they can resale it more expensive, is it done or legal to do so?
compliments

For that reason, I avoid traveling in peak season. I'm not sure it's legal but I think it's how it is mostly ..

Yeah since price hike is dependent on scarcity of seats. So those agents knowing which seats are highly sort for can buy up and sell double price... That's capitalism for you...nice one and keep it coming...

Great post! . I used a lot of things one being skycanner but one more that I like is Cheapflights which is quite a handy tool.

Thank you and yes .. there are several but for some reason I am a fan of Google flights! And find myself to use that more often .

ေကာင္းမြန္တဲ့ေစ်း၀ယ္နည္းတစ္မ်ဳိးပဲ ေလယာဥ္စီးဖို႔ၾကံဳရင္လုပ္ရမယ္ ေက်းဇူးတင္ပါတယ္ဗ်ာ

ဟုတ္ကဲ့ လာဖတ္ေပးတဲ့အတြက္ ေက်းဇူးပါ.

Thanks for your great advice...

You r welcome :)

ျမန္မာစာ ျမင္ေတာ႕ အံ႕ႀသသြားတာဗ်
ႀကိဳဆိုပါတယ္ဗ်ာ

ဟို အရင္က ၁ post လဲေရးထားဘူးပါတယ္ , အခ်ိန္မေပးႏိုင္ေတာ့ ေရးေတာ့ဘူး .. ဒီpost က fb page မွာအရင္တုန္းကေရးထားတာမို႔.. thank you

Very useful tips, I follow many of them for my travel too. One thing I also do is keep a destination with a defined budget in mind and create Flight Price Change Alerts with Google Flights. This helps me get alerts for the price of my budget and when the alert comes, I book them. Keep traveling, keep sharing... :-)
