I think I am one of the most opportunistic men in the world, if not, then at least close to becoming one. I always grab almost every single chance of taking every advantage I could possibly get over a thing, say for example, cheap airline tickets, vacation packages and so on. Taking into point the effect what this global economic turn down affected us, obviously, everyone and not just only me would resort to finding ways to stretch every penny in our wallet. For someone who is always on-the-go either for business, work or pleasure, here are few tips for you. This isn't from somebody else's idea but right from my mind when I woke up this morningLOL. Believe me this is not a trick but this is a true to life based tip. Ever heard about these words - "budget airlines"? I don't know how others put meaning into these words but for me, well, these are low cost air carriers offering cheap airline tickets and flying with budget airlines means that we are flying at a really discounted airfare compared to standard or major air carriers. Got my point?
a) Visit the airline's website as promo fares are always announced first directly at their website.
b) Subscribed with the airline's newsletter in order to have the latest of their promos delivered directly to your mailbox. With this, you don't need to visit their site anymore but just log in to your email and learn from the newsletter about their
latest promo.
c) If possible, plan your travel in advance and buy your
air ticket well ahead of your planned flight. Remember, the earlier you purchase your air ticket, the more chances you will be getting a discounted seat.
I have one very interesting experience with
Cebu Pacific Air, one of Philippines' leading budget air carriers. At first I could not just easily believe that flying from Manila to any destination and vice versa (I am referring to destinations served by Cebu Pacific Air) is as cheap as Php 350.00 or US$ 8.00. That was too good to be true but the moment I got my air ticket paying only US$ 8.00, I realized how budget air carriers lure everyone to fly at surprisingly low fare.
