1) Be flexible: This is the golden rule! Consider alternative travel dates, airports, airlines, and even destinations to score better deals. 2) Book in advance (or sometimes last minute): Early booking often gets you discounts, but sometimes last-minute deals pop up closer to the travel date. Use price tracking tools to monitor fluctuations.
3) Consider weekdays:Flights and accommodations are usually cheaper on Tuesdays and Wednesdays compared to weekends. 4) Travel off-seasons: Shoulder seasons (between peak and off-seasons) offer lower prices while still having decent weather and fewer crowds.
5) Utilize price comparison tools: Kayak, Skyscanner, Google Flights, Momondo, etc., let you compare prices across airlines and travel agents, finding the best deals. 6) Clear your browser cookies: Airlines and travel sites sometimes track your searches and inflate prices, so clear your cookies before booking.
