Looking For Cheap Flights
These are simply listed in point format to make it easier for you to read right through to the end. The tips are taken from a number of reviews I’ve written and I’ve picked the important ones.
Book in advance
The best way to find a cheap flight is by booking early. Do not wait until the last minute or else you will be charged "last minute" fees, which are normally exorbitant. Booking early is always an advantage even as early as 10 weeks if possible..
Travel midweek
The week days are really the best times to travel that is between Monday and Thursday. After this it can get really costly. I mean the weekends are considered peak time since everyone is traveling – if you want to fly cheap to SA, avoid weekend flights.
Book indirect flights
One thing is certain – direct flights are pricey. So the convenience of flying diredt comes at an expense.. If you are looking for the cheapest flight then do not even think about direct flights.
Travel in winter
If you ever compared flights in summer and winter then you'd know that winter prices are cheaper. This is because winter is considered off peak in South Africa i.e. midyear since we are in the Southern Hemisphere.
Travel at night
Actually most of the flights are night flights. However there are also day-flights, which you must avoid if you want to fly cheap. However, it is always best to compare these flights just incase there is a discount being offered by the day-flights.
