How to buy Cheap Airline Tickets at the last Minute

If I can just go to the airport and buy a cheap fare - Air Travel Forum

Now I saw tickets for about 175 last week and its like 150 more. So if I go to the South West or US Airways stand only 90 min before departure, can I get a cheap ticket if there are still places available or still paid the full one?

What does the payment of full tariffs mean? This is probably what it will take if you try to buy on the trip date. Reflect - why should they want to keep the seats cheap? They probably made their anticipated profits on the plane so that they can calculate for the rest what they want.

Yes, they could be selling them cheap, but that would give encouragement to guys to wait until the last minute before making a reservation, so they would end up with a lot of vacant places. The last that I did this (because I thought I had scheduled the plane and didn't have it), it costed me an arm and a foot.

Tariffs still generally increase the nearer it gets to your real date of travel for most airlines. Conversely, if you ever travel to China inland (except Hong Kong), you can get good local rebate tickets. Cultural life there is such that you go to the counters just a few moments before the plane leaves and buy a tickets as if you were purchasing a coach pass and still get cheap rates.

"So if you want to come and have a look at it, that's great. A lot of last minute rebates and last-minute deals are offered by many individuals. You run the risks of exceeding the quota, but in general you cut out the agencies and do not pay middleman charges.

So the skinnier you can be, the less expensive your tickets are? A lot of last minute rebates and last-minute deals are offered by many individuals. You run the risks of exceeding the quota, but in general you cut out the agencies and do not pay middleman charges.

Why then do the intermediary charges on the voyage make such a big change all of a sudden? Knowing something, you would know that TA's commission on air traffic over the last 10 years or so has been reduced to virtually nothing. And the only last minute moment when you can make a good business is on charters.

If not, the assumption with regular carriers is that if you get up at the last minute, you have to desperately fly, therefore you are paying about the chances of traveling. MP.... while sometimes you can get last-minute tickets with a rebate, they are often specials at weekends for certain routes that are advertised only a few day in advance and necessitate trips on certain dates.

Much of the fucking hassle is buying on the web. To LAX to PHX this week-end, review the airline sites for their LAX to PHX promotions this week-end.
