How to get Cheap Flights

And you can make big savings by making a short stop in a major town in Europe - or by chartering a flight.

The daily expenses for checking and tracing fares will certainly teach you one or two things about searching for a cheap quote. That' according to Texas-born 30-year-old Jack Sheldon, creator of the Jack's Fellowship Newsletters, Jack's Club. Headquartered in London, Sheldon is a self-proclaimed "geek" and "number type" that delivers e-mail notifications of the lowest cost offers on the Internet to its 500,000 UK and Irish holidaymakers.

It finds cheap flights leaving the UK and Ireland, monitoring and tracking fares several days a week to analyse fare variations. But we don't all have enough free Internet monitoring and fortunately there are three other ways to make a cheap offer: "If you're looking for flights in the summers, especially for your holiday, it's always very expensive," Sheldon said.

He added, however, that for British travelers, Scots vacations begin and end sooner - which means you can be clever with your own timings. "End of August is already your year in Scotland, but if you're from England, your holiday starts a little later and ends in September.

"When you are ready to take a rail, flights from Scotland[end of August] are significantly less expensive than flights from London, Manchester or Newcastle. "Conversely, if you are a Scot and want to find a cheap ticket, take a cheap ticket from England after finishing your studies - there are cheap flights until mid-July when your holiday starts.

" If it comes to British Airways companies that fly from London, many flights are costly. "It remains pricey and does not vary very much, especially not to favorite places like Cape Town, Tokyo and Seoul," Sheldon said. After all, there is not much rivalry between airline companies and a target such as Cape Town from London, apart from charter flights from charter companies such as Thomas Cook.

According to Sheldon, more accessible non-stop connections are more easily reached from Madrid, Amsterdam and Munich, where there is more rivalry. "The BA must significantly lower prices for one-stop flights over Europe to Cape Town," he said. "Although you take more flights and it's the same route from London to Cape Town, the fare is much lower - often 50% lower, even with the costs of getting to the town.

In order to get a free flight to Amsterdam, but avoiding two flights on the way back, you could go from Amsterdam to Cape Town via London and make the same flight back - you only need to spend about 50 pounds to get a flight from London to a town like Amsterdam, Sheldon said. He added, however, that you can usually get off on the way back from where you want and jump the remainder of the flights, but when you check in your pockets, they make you take the whole way.

In order to prevent this, he proposes that you "search for flights that have an exchange point on the way back". "It' a free little outing to Amsterdam, and you get a 50% discount on flights to Cape Town. "When it comes to last-minute flights, most major carriers are known to be expensive," Sheldon said, and added that if an airline hasn' t sells all its seat, "they know they will earn more if they raise the fare and earn last-minute cash from travelers who are less price-sensitive.

According to Sheldon, however, charter carriers such as TUI and Thomas Cook are breaking this downward spiral. "You know nobody really uses them for corporate trips, they use them for vacation trips, so it's in their best interest to make them as cheap as possible," he said. "You benefit from making bookings of all inclusive trips, then use the remaining tickets[if you haven't already bought all your packages]" "Within a fortnight or two before the trip, fares fall significantly, up to 50%.

" They often fly from smaller destinations such as Bristol, Newcastle or London Leds - ideal for those who do not reside in London. You can also sign up for the Jack's Flight Club to receive the offers in your mailbox by mail. There is also the possibility to download the new Jacks Flight Club application on iPhone and Android, which informs all members immediately about a dealer-agreement.

Sheldon previously worked in corporate growth for a large information firm and founded Jack's Fellowship in 2016 at the tender of 28. "Of course, I began to track air fares and always tried to find the best ways to get a cheap ticket somewhere," said Sheldon Bus Insider. It was his brainchild to set up a cheap flying clubs after he realized that hunting for a shop was as much a thing of the past for the whole wide open space as it was for him and his family.

Although London is now his home he said that he has lived "mainly in Kiev" in recent month and is planning to travel next to Barcelona - and he will surely find a cheap plane to take him there.
