Find the Cheapest Airfare by Selective Shopping

Did you know that each travel website negotiates their own airfare rates with the major airline carriers? What this means is that you can expect a slight difference between prices among different airfare websites for the exact same flight.

If you are searching for last minute flight deals, It’s a good idea to shop rates on several websites before making your final purchase. It’s also a good idea to check the actual airline website for their rates as well. The article, Find the Cheapest Airfare by Selective Shopping, warns:


Once you’ve made an airfare purchase, you are committed permanently.

A little extra surfing can save you several dollars and net you some super last minute flight deals. Just surf before you buy – you can’t undo an airfare purchase.

A Reader Asks… Will Lower Fuel Prices Have Any Effect on Airfare Prices?

May 31st, 2012 Posted in cheap flights, frugal flying, last minute flight deals, tips and tricks

Q. I filled up my car today for less than $20. I paid $1.61 per gallon which is the lowest price I have paid in years. 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.

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!

Is it Cheaper to Book Flights From Tenerife at the Last Minute?

May 21st, 2012 Posted in cheap flights, frugal flying, last minute flight deals, tips and tricks
No Comments

I found this post from yesterday on the Tenerife Forum. Since it had no resoponses, I thought I’d take a stab at it here on the Last Minute Flight Deals Blog..

Title: Is it Cheaper to Book Flights From Tenerife at the Last Minute?

Q. Friends of mine going back to the UK for a week in march, is it best to book now or wait till nearer the time??

A. Booking now is best! Being a last minute traveler can put you under extreme pressure and you will be hard pressed to find a good fare. This last minute flight deals blog is geared towards the spontaneous traveler who does not have a specific travel date requirement and sometimes does not even have a specific destination in mind. When you’re making those airline arrangements you should make sure to look at several different airlines. More often than not, airlines have special discounts and promotions going on – even if it’s peak season. Now here’s the cool thing… if you find an airline with a promo code then you will more than likely find another with a discounted fare. 

Have a safe and enjoyable trip!

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

As always, thanks for being a loyal reader of Last Minute Flight Deals!
