If your departure and return dates are more flexible, you're more likely to find a better option for your destination. Sometimes a single day makes a big difference in the price. We know that it's sometimes hard to change travel dates, but if you have the opportunity to do this, do let us know. The main rule for when to buy a ticket is: As soon as you know the exact dates of your travel. Tickets rarely get cheaper a few weeks after purchase; it is much more likely that it the price will rise as the departure draws closer and fewer seats are available. This doesn't mean that you can't get a good price at the last minute, it's just less likely. As soon as you start planning your trip and know the approximate dates, visit us, give us a call or send us an email to get at least an indicative price.
Of course, buying a plane ticket can be quite the cost, especially if you're a student, and it's not easy to empty your pockets months before your trip. Especially if you are not sure what might still happen before your trip. That's why psreporter Travel offers you the option of cancellation risk insurance, which lets you recover the costs of a ticket if health problems or a long list of other demonstrable reasons stop you from flying. Tickets for all destinations are significantly more expensive in some periods, particularly in July and August, and from mid-December to mid-January. We recommend that you plan your trip outside these months - of course, you can get a good price in the middle of the summer too, but it takes a bit of luck. Airline costs also vary by season. A high-season ticket may well be an off-season ticket for another airline. Flexibility is key, as even one day can make a difference.
Of course, prices also depend on the destination you are flying to. Usually, flights to the US are much cheaper than those to Australia, and many other rules might apply, but in principle, you probably already know where you would like to travel. So it makes more sense to mention where to fly in a particular part of the world. In most cases, cheap flights to major airports are cheaper, so it's sometimes better to fly to a larger airport, and then get an internal flight to your final destination or even travel your final stretch to another way. Smaller and more remote airports are significantly more expensive. Example: I would like to fly to Bali, but it pays to fly to Jakarta (Jakarta) and then take an internal flight or a different method of transportation to your destination. In most cases, keeping your options open leads to cheaper airfares - don't fixate on one destination, but choose several, and think about what's more cost-effective.
