These are simply listed in point format to make it easier for you to read right through to the end. Of all the reviews I’ve written online these are my major points to consider.
Book in advance
Making an early booking is one way of getting a cheap flight. leaving your booking for the last minute will result in late bokking charges which are usually high. The earlier you book the better. Try 10 weeks in advance if you can.
Travel midweek
The best time to travel is midweek. That is, from Monday to Thursday. The rest of the times the fares are much higher. Most people tend to want to fly over the weekends making them peak periods, if you want cheap flights consider mid week flights.
Book indirect flights
It is no secret that direct flights are costly. This comes with the convenience of direct flying. If you are looking for the cheapest flights in the literal sense then direst flights are not an option.
Travel in winter
If you’ve ever taken the time to look at airfares during different times of the year you will see that winter fares are much cheaper. This is because winter is considered off peak in South Africa i.e. midyear since we are in the Southern Hemisphere.
Travel at night
Actually most of the flights are night flights. You will sometimes find day flights which are a big No if you want to fly cheap. It always a good idea to double check however as sometimes the day flights might be offering a discount.
