These are simply listed in point format to make it easier for you to read right through to the end. Of all the reviews I’ve written online these are my major points to consider.
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 best time to travel is midweek. That is, from Monday to Thursday. After this it can get really costly. Most people tend to want to fly over the weekends making them peak periods, if you want cheap flights consider mid week 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’ve ever taken the time to look at airfares during different times of the year you will see that winter fares are much 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. You will sometimes find day flights which are a big No 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.
