Lowest Air Fares Available
To make for easy reading I’ve listed the tips in point format. 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. leaving your booking for the last minute will result in late bokking charges which are usually high. The earlier you book the better. Try 10 weeks in advance if you can.
Travel midweek
The best time to travel is midweek. That is, from Monday to Thursday. The rest of the times the fares are much higher. 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
It is no secret that direct flights are costly. This comes with the convenience of direct flying. 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
Most flights do occur during night times. However there are also day-flights, which you must avoid if you want to fly cheap. It always a good idea to double check however as sometimes the day flights might be offering a discount.
