How do I ... ?: How Do I Get Cheap Airline Tickets?

It is very easy to find great deals on Airline tickets using the internet. Nevertheless, some research is required to find the best deals. One of the easiest ways to stay informed on airlines deals, is by joining their loyalty clubs (such as Aeroplan from Air Canada), or by joining their mailing lists.

Airlines usually send weekly newsletters in which all their weekly or monthly promotions are listed. In some instances, you can personalize your favorite destinations and the newsletter will be personalized according to your preferences and will keep you up-to-date with the best deals for that specific destination.

One option is to check promotional websites like Expedia.com for daily deals or for "price watching" to see if a deal that interests you comes along.

Sign up for rewards programs, they are free and they send you weekly offers to your e-mail. Also, join major Loyalty programs such as OneWorld, SkyTeam, or StarAlliance.

Also, remember to visit the websites of national and international airlines that might offer flights to the destination. Below is a list of promotional websites, sites that offer reduced or cheap airline tickets, a list of loyalty clubs and the airlines they service. If you often use a particular airline listed, or intend to in the future, and are not a member of their loyalty club, it may be a good idea to register. Saving money and gaining points to redeem later on is easy, often free, and very rewarding.
