 Follow these steps to the best flight deals Finding cheap plane tickets isn’t rocket science. It just takes some flexibility and an informed approach to get a good airfare deal. When you need to get away and you can’t spend a bundle, consider these tips and watch how much you can save on airline tickets. Quick tips for finding cheap airline tickets * Be flexible – alternate airports and flexible departure times can save money. * Book early – generally, the earlier you book, the more you save on air tickets. * Discount airlines – great for cheap flights, especially on certain routes. Compare airfares from several different sources Sounds obvious, right? But different airline ticket providers – from the big online agencies to your local travel shop – simply don’t have access to all the same airlines, flights, availability, and pricing. So no single airline, consolidator, or agency will always have the lowest prices or always have the best selection of airline tickets. You have to shop around. Check listings of cheap flights offered by the big online agencies like Travelocity, Priceline, Hotwire, and Orbitz. Be flexible with your flight times It’s all about supply and demand. Some departure times are more popular – and more expensive – than others. Everyone wants to depart at 7pm on Friday night. Cheap airline tickets are available at peak times, but you generally have to book far in advance. If you need a cheap flight and have some flexibility, try flying on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday rather than on weekends. Consider overall value Finding the absolute lowest airfare for a given flight can be rewarding, but there are other factors to consider, like value – the overall mix of price, quality, and convenience. Before you shop, it makes sense to decide what’s most important to you. You might be getting a really cheap ticket, but do you want to stop and change planes several times? Some airlines are more comfortable and provide more in-flight services than others, so we encourage you to take a look and compare airlines. * Discount airlines, like Southwest and Frontier, have built their reputations on providing very cheap airline tickets with very few perks. Some do provide in-flight services, while others have none at all. * Traditional airlines are becoming more price-competitive, and often offer lower fares to compete with the discount airlines. * You can find cheap flights on a traditional carrier with some perks, including assigned seating, in-flight service, and assistance if your flight is canceled or delayed. * Compare apples to apples. Did you read the fine print? One price may look great until you uncover the details. Watch out for taxes, surcharges, and fees. Especially when looking into alternative airports, consider the cost of getting to and from the airport. Add it up. Is it still a cheap flight? No one deals like priceline!

  Make sure to earn your reward points when booking business travel If there’s one thing business travelers know it's how to rack up frequent travel reward points. But actually using the points can be a bit confusing. Across the world, frequent traveler programs are raking in members with partnering airlines, hotels, car rental services and credit card providers that allow members to use points in exchange for more than just a seat upgrade. But according to FrequentFlier.com, about 75 % of accrued points are never redeemed. That’s no surprise, especially since it can be very confusing to cash out. Before you book your next travel plans, make sure you claim your reward. Business travelers know – the more you book, the more you save. We’ve got some tips to help make your travel easier using frequent traveler points. Airline Reward Points All major airlines have frequent flier programs that reward frequent fliers with free tickets, free upgrades or bonus miles toward another flight. The trick is finding the airline that works for you. With most airlines, you need at least 25,000 miles to claim a free flight. But claiming your free ticket can get a little tricky. In recent years, the value of a free airline ticket has dwindled making it harder for fliers to travel when they want. In an effort to keep cash coming in, airlines have restricted a certain amount of seats and issued blackout dates for some frequent flier travelers, leaving many reward passengers negotiating with airlines for seats on specific dates and times. Each frequent flier program varies slightly with respect to purchasing domestic and international flights or seat upgrades. For example, one airline might allow seat upgrades on domestic flights for frequent fliers with a certain number of miles while other airlines might charge a fee for upgrading, even if miles are accrued. It’s essential to read through each airline’s benefit programs to determine what program works for you. * American Airlines AAdvantage® * Continental Airlines One Pass® * Delta SkyMiles® * JetBlue TrueBlue® Program * Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards® * United Airlines Mileage Plus® * US Airways Dividend Miles® *There is a difference between frequent flier programs and airline credit card programs that offer miles. The basic airline frequent flier programs are free; credit card reward programs sometimes come with fees, but offer easier ways to rack up the rewards. Make sure you’re signing up for the reward program that works for you. Hotel Reward Points Hotel loyalty programs have come a long way over the years. Today’s frequent travelers use hotel points for more than a room upgrade – complimentary meals, spa discounts, car rental savings and additional hotel amenities are just some of the rewards handed out to hotel loyalty program customers. Choose a hotel you frequent for business and join up for their hotel reward points. When booking business trips, opt to stay at the particular hotel you’re associated with instead of the hotel nearest to the convention center, or the hotel housing the business event, and you’ll gain points quicker. This is particularly useful for business travelers booking personal vacations. Hotel loyalty programs have minimal restrictions so you can use your hotel points toward any stay. Some airlines, on the other hand, will restrict business travelers to business class seats in order to gain points. One disadvantage to joining hotel loyalty programs for some travelers is the added fees. Many hotel loyalty programs are associated with a credit card company so travelers can only gain points by purchasing items on a credit card. Hotel chains including Marriott and Intercontinental award travelers points for shopping at participating retailers, for example. Credit Card Reward Points The concept of credit card reward points is quite simple – the more you buy, the more points you accrue. The more points you accrue, the wider your options for redeeming those points. Travelers using credit cards for reward points are usually looking for more than just airline tickets or hotel rooms. Credit card rewards also offer discounts on retail spending, tours, rental cars, arts and entertainment, dining points and more. It’s important to choose wisely when signing up for a credit card point program. Details matter and if you don’t read the fine print, you could wind up spending a lot of money and getting little in return. Consider the following details when signing up with a credit card loyalty program: * Look for expiration dates before signing on with a credit card. Some cards set expiration dates on points, forcing users to cash in their points by a certain date. * You might have to spend a certain amount before you start accumulating points. For business travelers, this is an easy spend but personal travelers might have a harder time reaching the spending goal. * Beware of caps. In some cases, you can only get back a certain amount no matter how much you spend. * Take a close look at the partner businesses and make sure the hotel, airlines and car rental chains are to your liking. Then make sure those chains don’t have additional requirements for redeeming points. Using Your Reward Points Now that you’ve earned them, don’t forget to use them! Reward points can be used for travel, dining, entertainment and more. Trade in your reward points for concert tickets and VIP access to entertainment events and expos, or keep racking up points for free air travel and hotel stay. Here are some tips to keep in mind when signing up and using points with loyalty reward programs: * Sign up with a hotel or airline you use frequently. * Use your reward member number every time you book a flight or a room. * Loyalty is key to the loyalty program. Especially with hotel loyalty programs, the more rooms reserved the better your rewards. Room upgrades, spa services and in-room amenities such as food baskets, free meals or complimentary desserts are common “thank you” rewards to loyal customers. * Try to be flexible when using your airline reward points. The seats available for airline loyalty members might be limited during peak travel seasons to top destinations so ask your airline agent for alternatives. * Purchasing points is always an option. If you need a few extra points to get a free first-class ticket or a deluxe hotel room, find out about purchasing the extra reward points to help you with an upgrade. Before you book your next vacation or business trip, be sure to use the travel reward program that best suits your travel needs. It won’t take too long for frequent travelers to rake in the extra reward points and travel in style. | Get Automatic Updates
