Whether you're traveling across the ocean, a weekend away from home, a business meeting, an "escape" away from everyday commitments, there's one thing most world travelers agree on: plane tickets have gotten really expensive! According to a report last year, from Federal Reserve (FRED) data, airfares rose nearly 25%, the largest increase since 1989.
Baggage surcharges, seat selection on the plane, in short an attempt to take every penny out of the pocket of those who want to get on the plane and travel. But there are still some little tricks that can make the idea of ??an adventure in the sky easier and less expensive on your pocket.
Andy Knowles, luxury travel consultant told Explore that you need to understand exactly what makes flights expensive, from the days you choose to the time of year.
The issue related to flight prices does not have a single answer, as ticket prices are set by airlines based on demand/offer. But, if you travel on the weekend or choose a period that is the peak of the holidays, of course the prices will be higher. Because on the weekend, that is practically noon on Friday, Saturday and Sunday are the days when many people in the world want to rest, get on a plane and enjoy a different experience.
If you need to travel on a specific date, the best thing to do according to the expert is to book two to four months in advance.
In this way, not only will you save money on tickets, but you will also have more opportunities to select the flight you want, at the time and on the days you want!
