ArabiaWeather - Many travelers can reduce travel costs by a large percentage, and save hundreds of dollars on a single trip when they purchase tickets, but this depends on several factors represented in choosing travel days and timing, as well as the destination, airport, and others, according to the company « Faircompare, specialized in travel, identified the five most important ways to reduce travel costs, according to the following:

bags

Many airlines charge about $25 for a large bag for one-way tickets, but you can use several ways to reduce the weight of your personal baggage without having to pay exorbitant fees added to the ticket price, by thinking about the things you really need.

price comparison

You should intensify your searches and compare airfares, as websites provide many comparison options and the best deals that can be booked and taken advantage of. And remember that you have to diversify your search options and not be satisfied with one airline.

Choose days

Ticket prices are usually more expensive for reservations that take place for travel during the weekends, and the matter varies from one market to another, and it also depends on the flight whether it is domestic or international, so it is necessary to search more than once to find the price that suits you. And if you follow this mechanism, you may save up to $80 on the price of one ticket. You also have to remember that traveling away from peak times reduces costs significantly.

Airport selection

If you want to reduce the costs of your ticket, you should consider alternative airports close to your final destination for the round trip, as it is related to the level of demand for flights from certain airports, and ticket prices vary greatly for the flights of the same airlines according to the airport you choose.

Transit flights

Direct flights are usually more expensive, as you will reach your destination faster and without stopping, but if you add one stopping point to your trip, this may reduce the ticket price significantly, and network search sites provide options for traveling through more than one station with different airlines.
