Seven mysteries to get inexpensive air fares

Air fares have also risen with the increase in the price of crude-oil - they have risen by 14 per cent since 2009. However, with web-based utilities that give us more journey information than ever before, there are many ways to get quotes for your ticket. This means to think ahead - the Airlines Reporting Corporation published a January survey that concluded that 2011 was the best buying period six months before a journey.

Regarding the weekday to buy, many websites suggest Tuesdays and Wendesdays to compare fares. com scores with the fact that Tuesdays at 3 pm are the best times to buy inland ticketing (through a survey of its own database). If you are purchasing for a group, farcompare also recommends you not to buy your ticket together - make each booking individually, as the airlines system is designed so that everyone in your group receives the same, higher rate, even if some lower priced places are available for a portion of your group.

The low-cost holidays are Tuesdays and wednesdays. Particularly if you are travelling in a group, you can buy the additional $150 for long-term park if you save $1000 on your ticket, he says. Pricing to Berlin and Düsseldorf in Germany, for example, is about a third of the price to the most beloved destination, says Hobica.

So, when you go to Paris, you go to Berlin and get on the plane or a cheap connection. Leveraging the benefits of the fares monitoring pages out there, you will never have to spend more than you should. A number of utilities such as the Bing Predictor Prize, airfarewatchdog.com and farecompare.com warn you about how to make a deal; yapta.com does all this and, for certain carriers such as JetBlue or Alaska, if the prize falls below what you bought, they will describe in detail how you can get a reimbursement for the difference. What's more, if you get a discount on the amount you spent on your ticket, you'll be able to get a full reimbursement for the amount you spent on it.

These graphics by air-conditionwatchdog list the products and solutions available on these and other pages. Also, many carriers have set up their own dealer alarm tool - another one, entitled Action Watchdog, contains hyperlinks and description of these. Visit lastminute.com for current offers. Verify the charges. Baggage and other charges may take a bit out of your holiday budgets according to your needs.

So, when you are comparing tickets fares, look at your overall cost. Visit the luggagelimits.com website to see how different carriers rate your bags for a particular trip, and Smarter Travel provides a useful (and printable) table of charges. All these other charges can be compared in this table from Kajak.com with the bandwidth of charges that airline companies levy, such as for food, pet and small unattended services.

You can find a complete listing of suggested credit card types at consumercreditcardguide.com. A lesser-known way to earn your mileage, says Hobica, is to use your airline's on-line buying hub to make web buys - airlines outlets can be large retail stores such as Walmart, Target and the Apple Store. Airfarewatchdog offers a listing of airlines' on-line retail centers.

Don't overestimate the value of on-line trip pages such as Kayak, Orbitz, Expedia and others. Offers appear there, especially those where the least expensive alternative turns out to be two one-way trips - one on one airline and the other back - which will not appear on airline webpages.

Nevertheless, sometimes there are still the best rates on the websites of the airline companies. Don't miss to visit the websites of budget carriers that don't usually quote their fares elsewhere (such as Southwest, JetBlue, Allegiant and Ryanair).
