In order to the special promotions of air lines, setting competing price with other airlines and sometimes the airlines published fare mistakenly, they offer a variety of price list for the same flight.

So, here I am going to present the top 5 secret tips for booking international flights at a comparatively cheaper rate. 

1.      Make Plan and Book Flight Early of Your Travelling Date

The more you plan earlier, the better opportunity to get cheaper flights. The first and foremost secret in getting cheap flight is to plan too early of your travel time and book early flights. Different airlines offer low cost flights at the early booking of your travel date. For example, if you want to travel in next summer (April, May, June etc), then you will get the cheapest flight if you make booking at the earlier winter (November. December of the earlier season). So to get the advantage of cheap flight, make plan ahead and booking earlier to your travel date. More preciously, book the flight at least 7 weeks in advance of your travel date. Here are two images for your better understanding of booking earlier.

The two pictures below indicates the ins and outs advantage of booking ticket early. Take a deep  look.

The first picture has the details about booking a ticket just 1 day ago. which is much more than the second one.

Flight price for Doha at 7 December,2020 cost 21,384 BDT. Just see the difference.

The above 2 pictures just draw the difference between immediate booking and booking a flight little early. From the two pictures it is easily concluded that, you can save a lot (nearly 11000 BDT) just by booking the flight ticket 5 months earlier. 

2.      Check Regularly Airlines Own Websites

If you want a budget friendly tour and get a cheaper price for air tickets than don’t go through the travel agent. The travel agent will offer you the flight fare with adding their profit. So the wise step will be to check the airlines own website regularly. Different airlines updated their air ticket fare regularly on the website. Now if you check the desired airlines website a little earlier of your travel date, you may get the flight at relatively cheaper rate at their different offer price.

          3.  Mix and Match Airlines

While you are travelling to a country, there may be a number of airlines which offers you to take their flights. Now the offer price of all airlines is not same. Some may charge higher, some may charge lower. The thing you have to do is to check and match different airlines ticket price and then pick up the convenient price for you.

While checking you may found that booking the round trip or a multi city trip using the same airlines is more budget friendly for you than to use different airlines. So, have some time, check, mixed and match different airlines fare for air ticket and select the best one according to your budget.

For better understanding, here I just added two images. The images shows the difference between the price of two different airlines for the same destination, at same date. Take a look below.

Booking ticket through US-BANG LA Airlines at 20 July,2020 cost 10,929 BDT from Dhaka to Bangkok.

So, for enjoying cheaper flight rate always search and compare between different airline prices. You will surely enjoy a great deal.

4.      Fix the Cheapest Date and Off-peak Hour of the Week to Fly

While checking airlines own website you will found that, they offer variety of price for the same flight at different hour in a day. The fare price fluctuates too much even sometimes within an hour. Usually, airlines charge high fare at a busy day or working day and especially at a peak hour. Now the peak hour of flight may differ from airlines to airlines.

Normally the cheapest date for flight is Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. Analyzing form different airlines price on different date, it is found that at these 3 days airlines offer cheapest price for a flight compared to other days. If you want to book a ticket on Sunday, Monday and Friday it seems to be very expensive.

Usually fight after 8.00 PM in the day seems really cheap compared to the other hour in a day. Moreover, booking a early morning flight (usually from 5.00AM to 7.00AM), you can extract the best dealing price. So the moral is buy ticket at the best time.
