10+1 Tips on how to book the cheapest flight

I usually spend hours and hours before deciding and booking a flight. I search on various search engines, I watch the prices go up as the days pass by in order to book the cheapest flight, but usually, I end up booking a higher price (compared to the price I first found). Below I'm listing some tips you need to have in mind if you want to get the cheapest flight. 1. If you find a cheap fare just book it, don't think about it. If you think of it over and over again the fare will most likely go up when you decide to finally book it. The best time to book your flight is today, now. 2. Try to search and compare prices Skyscanner as far as I know if one of the most popular flight search engines.  Try to search for the same flight on travel search engines but also make sure to check the airline's website too, it might be cheaper. 3. Book 6 weeks in advance Prices drop below the average fare 6 weeks before you travel. 4. Book last-minute flights When an airline hasn't filled a flight, they will cut down their prices. So if you are flexible you should try this. 5. Travel on Tuesday or Wednesday According to FareCompare Tuesdays and Wednesdays are generally the least expensive days to take a flight while Friday and Sunday are the most expensive. 6.Combine two flights You might find it much cheaper to combine two low-cost airline tickets compared to one direct. Make sure to check all the available options. 7. Become a frequent flier Sign up for the frequent flier schemes so you can gather miles and spend them later by getting cheaper/free tickets. 8. Fly early in the morning Early morning flights are the cheapest. 9. Fly off-peak Avoid flying during half term/school holidays, high summer season, bank holiday breaks. 10. Fly to the secondary airport Most destinations have two airports. The primary one is more expensive compared to the second one (low-cost airlines fly there). 11. Join airline mailing lists By signing up on airline mailing lists you'll [...]

Missed Flight: Find out how to get Flight Compensation

Problems with your flight? Missed Flight? Have you had any idea that you are able to claim up to 600 per traveller if your flight was overbooked, cancelled or delayed? Know Your Rights When you miss a flight, you may be able to get either compensation from the airline or you may be able to get a refund of the taxes you paid the airline for your flight. In this article, we will explain when you qualify for both of these categories. Compensair is an organisation that helps air passengers claim compensation from the airline when they have experienced a flight delay, cancellation, or when they were denied boarding. They also help travellers with general travel information. Compensation Claim - EC Regulation 261/2004 Most people have no idea that if they missed their flight, they are entitled to receive compensation, you just have to be checked in. The most important thing has to do with checking in. In most cases, airports advise travellers to come to the airport at least two hours before the departure of their flight, to make sure there's sufficient time to check in and go through customs. If you arrive at the airport late, most probably you won't be allowed to fly. Most airlines require you to have checked in at least 45 minutes before the departure of the flight. If you still arrive late at the check-in desk they are allowed to deny you from accessing the aircraft. If an airline allows you to check in after the 45-minutes, the flight will be delayed since you won’t have enough time to go through customs or have your luggage loaded on the plane.  It is very common that travellers arrive at the airport earlier than their flight but have to face long queues. In most cases, despite the fact that there are long queues an airline might deny you to board if you haven’t checked in on time. In order to be able to claim your compensation, you have to check-in before the closing time. Prefer to do it online. If the flight is delayed [...]
