Saving money on travel: Airlines

1. Use discount travel websites and plan your travel in advance. You will have the ability to combine travel segments in one place and experience a significant travel savings.
2. Connecting flights might seem unattractive but don’t toss this idea out of the window as there is usually great travel savings involved.
3. Consider traveling light. Most airlines are wanting to charge you extra fees for extra bags and the fewer bags you need to check, the more travel savings you will secure. As part of this tip, consider your plans to buy new cloths when you reach your destination. If so, pack older cloths that you may want to toss away. This will keep your packing lighter and your travel or vacation easier.
4. Round trip tickets vs. one way tickets. In some cases, the one way business travel ticket is so expensive that a round trip version is actually less expensive. It boils down to the actual numbers and cost of your business or vacation travel so if you need to buy a ticket and throw it away to save money, why not.
5. In general, flying out of the same same airport is cheaper and more convenient. This applies to the car rental part of your business travel or vacation travel as well.
6. Try to coordinate a possible layover in 2 separate countries, if your business travel or vacation plans include visits to 2 separate countries.
