Last Minute Flight Deals Going High Tech

In our continuing effort to improve the experience for our Last Minute Flight Deals audience, I have added a utility to the site called Blog Copy.

BlogCopy is designed to monitor which text snippets and which images our readers copy and paste. If a reader highlights “last minute flight deals” on this site for example and then pastes it into a new blog post of their own. I’ll be alerted.

If a reader finds a phrase on this site like “looking for JetBlue coupons?” and then enters it into a search engine, I’ll know. I’ll have a much better idea of what images, phrases, and words are of most interest to my readers.

Go ahead and give it a try if you want. Here are some phrases to copy and paste:

airfare prices are going up…
what’s the deal with American Airlines?
airfare discount coupons and codes
is it better to buy last minute airfare

Beware of Airfare Surcharges and Fees

When you’re closing out those last minute flight reservations, there will be times when your fees, taxes, and surcharges are more than the actual price of the fare itself. 

More often the case in international travel, this phenomena is becoming more and more prevalent in domestic flights as well. Be sure you know the full fare when selecting your flights, and watch out for those fees!

How to Find the Best Last Minute Flight Deals

The old advice passed down from the cheap airfare gurus of the past does not alway hold true.
The suggestion to stay overnight on a Saturday, for instance, no longer makes much of a difference. Flying on “off days” (i.e. mid-week travel) however, really does make sense..

When searching for last minute flight deals, see if changing your arrival or departure dates to mid-week lowers the fare. Wednesday and Thursday are the days to fly if you really want to save money.

Weekend cheap flights are super difficult to find, but sales and discounted tickets tend to show up midweek!

Last Minute Flight Deals: Using Google to Check for On Time Departures

So…

You’ve booked your last minute flight deals for the holidays and you’re ready to go. Great!

The problem is that Winter weather can move in briskly and airline departure schedules are just not firm when weather is a factor.

Did you know that you can turn to Google to learn your flight status?
All you have to do is type your airline name and flight number into the search bar, and the site will fetch the latest flight-status information. Here’s an example – I typed Delta 627 in the search box and the status box became my first choice. Pretty slick!

Will Airfare Prices Drop with the Dropping Fuel Prices?

August 26th, 2011 Posted in Uncategorized
No Comments

Q. I filled up my car today for less than $50. I paid $2.49 per gallon which is the lowest price I have paid in several months. Do you think the lower fuel prices will have any effect on Airfare prices?

A. Jet fuel prices have fallen like a rock, and the plunging price of jet fuel has lots of airline passengers wondering why their fares haven’t plunged accordingly. Even with lower fuel costs, the global recession has put mammoth pressure on hard-hit airlines. That’s why analysts say that airlines will not cut ticket prices or rescind fees for services that once came for free.
