Travel

I am still writing on this travel blog and I apologize for my long absence! I'll keep you posted!

I am currently planning some trips to Europe with my family and I am scoping out all the best airfare deals and hostel / hotel deals. A European vacation takes a lot of planning - especially if you have a shoestring travel budget, but it can be done.

In the meantime, read some of my other travel tips. I will be back in the game shortly with more airfare secrets and travel gear reviews and recommendations.

5 Airfare Tips You Can Bank On

Please read the following airfare tips before you buy your next international airfare online:

1. Buy from the right website.

I found Last Minute to be very reasonable in price. I'm sure there are many others that might be just as good or better. If you know of any, be sure to comment this post so I can add them to the resources list.

2. Travel on a Wednesday or holiday.

For some odd reason, traveling on Christmas Day is cheaper than the day before or after. Why? I don't know, but it is. Same goes for Wednesdays. Try it sometime.

3. Stay longer.

The longer you stay, the cheaper the ticket is. Play around with the dates in any airfare database and you will see what I'm talking about.

4. Join a courier program.

There is an excellent courier program (click here) that gives you access to highly discounted airline tickets if you agree to simply deliver a package for one of their clients once you arrive at your destination. Click on this CNN Money article to read more about them.

5. If you're flying within Europe, nothing beats the low airfares of ryanair.com.

Ryan Air is often much cheaper than taking a train or bus - not to mention more convenient.

There you have it... My 5 best tips for getting international airfares on the cheap! Enjoy!
