You guys!! I am so very ready to hop on a plane and go on vacation!  How about you? If you are wanting to go on a trip, and wanting to keep it on a reasonable budget, I have some tips for you!

5 Ways to Save on Airfare

Use an incognito search window  

Some people claim that this is an old wives tale, but I have tested the theory and it is right!  Use a private browser and you will see that it makes a huge difference in the price of the flights that come up.  Don’t believe me? Go check it out now.

Choose the cheapest days to fly out.

I have found for me, the cheapest days to fly are to fly out on Wednesday and to fly back on Saturday.  That said, I know that this isn’t always the case. I think that it is mostly the locations that I have chosen to fly to.  Be flexible with your dates and you will be more likely to find a deal.

Use a travel site.

Using a site such as Expedia has been how I have scored the best flight deals.  I recently bought 5 ROUND TRIP tickets from Portland to Phoenix for $83 each! $83!!!

Use budget airlines

You guys…don’t be airline snobs.  Choose the budget airline and save some serious money!  Remember those $83 tickets that I told you about? Those were on Sun Country Airlines, which is billed as a budget airline, but the plane was actually pretty nice.  Also, when we recently flew to Las Vegas, we happily chose a flight on Spirit Airlines, because it saved us big money!

Use points.

Credit cards that allow you to earn points toward an airline are a great thing to have because you can sincerely cut down on the price of your flight by using these.  Just be sure to use them wisely, my friends.
