It is the seasons in which you are travelling that will have the greatest influence on your ticketing rates. Please click here to get the experienced guidebook to choose your itinerary. Peak saison (mid-June-August): It' almost not possible to find under $1,100 worth of passes in high seasons. At this point, most travelers are traveling, so airline companies are driving up fares.

Mid-November Easter low season: Here you will find the best priced seats. $450 for a round-trip fare. Nowadays I would be expecting to spend $550+ on low seasonal passes, but it is possible to find lower priced passes. Please note: The prices for travelling around Christmas are similar to those for travelling by plane in high seasons.

Shoulders season (mid September - late November & Easter - mid June): Shoulders season is the period between high and low season. In this season of the year you will often find low fares. Many price-conscious travellers decide this trip. Are you planning to find your way around within $650-$850 (although I've seen your fares a little cheaper)?

Wherever you are flying can have a big influence on your fare. Ticketing always seems to be the least expensive of New York City or other big hub. However, if you are living near several different aerodromes, you should see if there are any difference in prices between them. Browse several European airports:

Browse all of Europe's main aerodromes and check our rates. LON: LCY, LHR, LGW, STN, LTN), Frankfurt (FRA, HHN), Paris (CDG, ORY), Madrid (MAD) and Amsterdam (AMS) are the biggest hub cities in Europe, so you'll tend to find the best value when you fly to any of these cities.

Just go through the others, too. Please note: The best value airline is not always the best option - it must suit your itinerary. You' ll be spending a great deal of your own manpower and resources to get from Dublin to France, so you can save all your possible costs. Finding several departure dates: Air fares can differ widely according to travelling times.

Generally, midweek trips are the best for you. Personally I like the flexibility of Student Universe's trip finder (other websites also provide this feature). Provides you with all results for 3 business day +/- your chosen date of departure. How to find the best travelling season.

Give it a try with Open Jazz tickets: That kind of ticketing is referred to as "open jaw" ticketing. Often these prices are actually higher, so your results may differ. Purchase your purchase well in advance: You would like to make a booking for your flight as soon as possible. You may be able to get a cheap pass for some winters flight by just holding until the last moment, but this is a big game of chance.

Buying fares after midnight: I've been told that airline companies lower their fares after midnight. What do you think of that? Often cheap fares are not refundable: Low -cost fares are often non-refundable or have a very high exchange rate. TravelAdvisor has recently familiarized itself with the flight ticketing software and I always find the best rates here.

Air fares are almost exactly the same or lower than for a kayak. TripAdvisor is expected to become one of the biggest online and offline services in the coming years. TripAdvisor is also beautiful because the prize they show you in your results is the prize you are paying (all tax and additional charges are covered by the ad price).

The STA is another website for students/persons under the age of 26. There are many of the same offers as the student universe and their rates seem almost the same. It was used a few time by my spouse for my travels around the world. You were very useful when she had to switch tokens. Kayaking is another good site for ticketing.

The Vayama is a new online quest tool specialized in traveling internationally. On this website I found some good prizes. Skyscanners have historically only been used for European flight destinations, but they have begun to offer services from all over the globe. You can also browse by countries and not just by city ( e.g. Seattle to Germany flights).

Another beloved super-finder, CheckOAir is definitely a looker. This is another great looking machine that finds cheap seats and I like how they sort the results. Expedia, Travelocity and Priceline - These pages are well known, but I don't find the best rates here. Although seldom, it is possible to find a cheap offer there.
