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.

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!

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.

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.

An article on the Last Minute Flights Blog mentions,

“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.

1. Fly in the Middle (Book Flights for the Middle of the Week)
2. Use Booking Buddy to Select a Broad Time Window
3. Accept Extra Legs (Flights with Layovers Make for Cheaper Airfare)
4. Book Early (Airfare is Cheapest When Booked 21+ Days in Advance)
5. Don’t Delay (Book Airfare-Now)

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:

—> Last minute New York values at Expedia.com!

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.

—> Treat yourself to a last-minute getaway! Choose from great hotel deals in your favorite cities only at Expedia.com!

Hit the Beach

–> Book your Beach Travel on Expedia.com: Plan a sunny, sandy escape!

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.

—> Save up to 40% on Last Minute Fares with Hotwire Limited Rates!

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

—> Find rental cars from $13.95 a day at Hotwire. No hidden fees — drive away a deal today!

That’s all for now!

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.
