Now that we are starting to feel the world is getting back to normal people are traveling once again. Booking a flight is always a task that takes patience if you are looking for a good deal. For the past eight years Scott Key, of Scott's Cheap Flights, has been helping people find cheap prices. He has a few tips that can help you find that bargain ticket.
Most people have an idea of what time they would like to leave and arrive at their destination. Instead of booking your tickets around a specific time window, arrange your trip around your ticket time. This way you can purchase that cheaper flight and plan around that arrival time.
Scott says that Google flights is very helpful. They have a feature that can alert you when prices get low but know that the price could change quickly so you must act fast.
You use to be able to ask for an "upgrade" if they had it available. Nowadays, airlines sell the premium seats. Just asking for the "upgrade" will rarely get you anything.
When they oversell a flight they ask passengers to jump on a different plane. A lot of the time they offer flight credit but you can ask for more than just a credit. You can negotiate dining vouchers, VIP lounge access and an upgraded seat on your next flight. Of course they will not offer you these options, you must ask.
