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!
Are you one of those college students that dreams of a tropical vacation, at least a nice spring break, yet just can’t scrape enough money together for a round trip airfare? Are you longing for a skyway road trip but you don’t even have enough cash for a KOA camping cabin?
Here are four college travel tips that will help you find the best flight deals and show your parents just how smart you have become in college! It’s time to take some notes….
#1 You’re in college, so be F-L-E-X-I-B-L-E. The most important thing to remember when searching for airfare deals is to be flexible. Do not, in other words, limit yourself to traveling on the busiest day, even if it’s the day that all of your friends seem to be traveling. Traveling on holidays and any of those other high traffic days is going to cost you dearly so leave a day earlier or a day later than your rich friends!
#2 You’re in college, so do some R-E-S-E-A-R-C-H The internet has made shopping for airfare super easy with consolidator sites like Kayak and the new fly.com. Don’t buy what your spontaneous friends buy, be a smart collegiate type and research the best airfare.
#3 You’re in college so do some P-L-A-N-N-I-N-G You carry a planner so that you show up for classes when you have an exam or assignment due, so use that same planner to think ahead and you’ll score the best rates. Yes, this is the last minute flight deals blog, but the best deals come to the folks who are smart enough to plan.
#4 You’re in college so S-K-I-P some C-L-A-S-S-E-S Yes, you have my permission to skip classes because the best airfare comes to students who travel mid-week. Believe me, your Economics Professor will understand!
So in summary, be flexible, do your research, plan ahead, and skip classes – these are the key tips to saving money on your airfare. Be nice to your mother!
Looking for a value while shopping for airline tickets? Cheap airfares are still available, and these 6 tips will help you get more bang for your buck!
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.
Occasionally, a search for last minute flight deals will present the best prices if you agree to switch airlines during your trip. Although an inconvenience, I think it’s worth the extra savings.
For example, lets say you are wanting to go to New York from Seattle, Washington… and you want to go TOMORROW.
Your search for last minute flight deals will be very frustrating if you tell the search engine that you want a non-stop flight. Change the search terms to include layovers and airline transfers, however, and you may be in for a very big (big as in savings) surprise.
“It may surprise you, but experts agree that the answer is now an undeniable “YES”. What was once considered a no-no and an extreme inconvenience is now considered a wise move for the airfare bargain seeker.”
So switch airlines enroute, and save some bucks on your last minute flight plans.
It’s Sharing Saturday so I’m passing on some coupons, codes, links, etc. that I have found on the web recently.
New York City Anyone…? Here’s a last-minute NYC coupon from Expedia for instance that knocked $60 off of my best quote from Travelocity. The destination page is also boasting $70 hotels and $300 vacations so this one seems like a gem if you’re traveling to New York City:
Vacation Packages I played around with this link and ended up booking a nice 3 day vacation package to Los Angeles at $51.35 less than my other best quote. My friends and I like to go jump the Pacific to do the Disneyland thing a couple times a year and this coupon worked well for us.
Last Minute Fares I haven’t checked this one yet because I normally use TravelZoo for last minute flights. I have noticed that more and more consolidators seem to be entering the last minute flights market.
Rental Cars Too? What the heck….? Since it’s sharing Saturday I might as well pass this one on too. My dad uses this Hotwire coupon EXCLUSIVELY when he’s on the mainland doing business. He swears by it
