Tips to Get Cheap Airplane Ticket

Monday, June 28th, 2010

“How can buy cheap plane tickets? Seems often hear?”
I myself was not always lucky to ticket prices or promos. Sometimes when we want roads, so buying even though the normal price, not exactly cheap, the other expenditures were sacrificed by example search of cheaper accommodation so slightly balanced budget.
My introduction to some cheap airlines, so we call aja ya the Low Cost Carrier, starting since the advent of cheap airlines from Malaysia’s well-known in Indonesia, I forgot what year it was but it was definitely probably one of my first ticket buyer Jakarta route – Johor Bahru (now absent).
And then I started to glance at airline A, B, C. During this frankly as a Platinum Frequent Flyer holders of our national airline yes I just ride him anywhere the airline, not domestic, international flights, all wearing our national airline. Also I do all the bookings are still manually, via travel agents, whose names have not ngetop also buy air tickets online.
But since cheap airline from Malaysia had opened an online airline ticket sales in Indonesia, began deh wah my eyes awake. As someone who is technology & internet savvy, I weight mantengin diligent internet, like in office or home. Google so if you already familiar streets affairs. I never read books travel guide if you want to plan trips, always googling. It also includes cheap airline affairs of this search.
1. Register your email to get promotion from the airline. I start with one by one site cheap airlines from various countries I collect and I register an email address that I dedicate to the streets of affairs. This has become one of my efforts to ‘catch’ what’s the latest promo on the cheap airlines.
Some of the cheap airlines that addresses my ‘collection’ is as follows can dicontek from this wikipedia page. All airlines website if important enough to be easy to find my bookmark when I need. Plus get ready to stay up when I received an email announcement of sale which is usually open from midnight premiere, will generally be difficult to log into the website so my favorite time is around 2-4 o’clock in the morning to hunt during the sale.
2. Determine the purpose of vacation or a walk. Yes, if it is not so difficult also want to find the promo tickets as well as to determine the budget. But it sometimes gini, when there are airlines that are having a sale, be a ticket where we go crazy looking deh aja be a cheap home. Right? I think especially if crucial financial decisions for a vacation then you should ‘know yourself’. So just own selection of airlines promo emails which is roughly where you wish to load.
3. Memorize or at least have a national holiday calendar a year ahead. Not to be psychic but often given the promo ticket can be bought for cheap next year. I often buy tickets six to eight months before departure. Mad cheap. Like when I went to Laos, I bought 11 months earlier with two round-trip ticket promo husband to Vientiane via KL only USD 2.1 million! But do not do this if you do not have the flexibility to take time off work as I am or intend to become pregnant or have a history of serious illnesses.
4. Have a world map or google maps will do. I happen to have a pretty good background geography because I really love watching the map from the small, habits that are very helpful to me when’ve often road. I can really read a map, and I think that is really essential if you want to be a traveler.
Its function is to have a world map so you can imagine the distance that must be taken from one city to another, or to find city transit option that can also better for the city about where more can be done simultaneously in a single trip. This is important, especially if we want the land route by train or bus, so the next step in finding a mode of transport more easily.
5. Got a Credit Card. This is actually not mandatory-mandatory so. Generally, if a plane ticket to be purchased online credit card that requires the owner to participate in these trips. My advice, have a special credit card that can be useful traveling back to its point value to be free flight / mileage again plus have access to the Executive Lounge. It’s really good for us ngaso at domestic airports, especially if the plane suddenly delay.
My recommendation is that some credit card joint promotion by the airline. Generally, all expenditures will be offered in the form of mileage points can be redeem a particular flight. I’ve never been a free walk to Padang, Singapore, Sydney and Bali thanks to exchange mileage credit card.
6. Closely with hour flight if you want to travel point to point (destination connect) in one day. That is the way point to point is, let’s say your primary goal is to use a Hong Kong airline A, but because there is no direct route from Jakarta to Hong Kong by the airline but there is a new instance of the TOS, then you should take a flight from Jakarta to KL first only after that KL to Jakarta.
If it turns out the flight hours in one day is too close together, leaving at least 4-5 hours for a break point with a point from Jakarta to KL KL-Hong Kong, because you have to consider the process of immigration and baggage claim as well as with the process of check-in, immigration and boarding flight the next point.
7. Careful in buying an additional service during the flight. Cheap airline now often use a variety of ways to trick customers into paying more for various features or additional services. The meaning here is the trap, which was originally published various components of a service must have if we bought plane tickets on major airlines and provides an extra fee so that we obtain these services. Additional services which must now be paid as follows:
a. Baggage 15 kg (and more), the more weight the more expensive luggage, hand luggage rules which entered the cabin is now even more lightweight, only 7 kg for the famous airlines of Malaysia’s cheap and generally 10 kg for other airlines.
b. Food and beverages. If for domestic travel may not be too much to pay in rupiah, but if you travel abroad that we will be charged according to the departure country’s currency, the fall will be more expensive for the same food or drink.
c. Seat numbers. Want to sit by the window or elsewhere if you want to select their own numbers can now be subject to additional fees.
d. Insurance. If you already have their own travel insurance, is certainly no need to buy again but if you travel far enough, I recommend buying it.
8. Diligently to come to the Exhibition Tour / Travel Expo. This exhibition is generally held 3-4 times a year. I Sepengamatan generally in November, March, May and August. So-rajinlah diligent search for info about this exhibition, are usually held in Jakarta in Jakarta Convention Center. But sometimes there is also a large shopping mall or Senayan Kelapa Gading.
At this exhibition, it’s time many international airlines offer promotional fares are quite cheap. With better service quality promo price it offered no less generous with cheap airlines it.
9. Follow-up mailing traveling. This is quite helpful because a lot of info to be had for cheap travel airline ticket promo is not only complains. Plus you could ask the participants experiences on forums, mailing lists about the airline that you want traveling. Free survey’s Fair.
