Summer travel season is right around the corner, but for a lot of
travelers, one of the biggest headaches can be finding the best deals
and cheapest tickets for flights.
To avoid hefty airline prices,
technology expert Kurt Knutsson suggests using the website /travel,
which allows users to register flight tickets that have already been
purchased. If the ticket prices drop, the website – which is free – will
try to find a loophole to negotiate a cheaper price or rebook you
without penalties.
While airlines themselves allow customers to
change their tickets after purchasing them, Knutsson said doing so
almost never adds up financially.
“They never like it when we
circumvent the rules,” Knutsson told Dagen McDowell during an interview
on FOX Business. “They’ll just make it tougher and tougher as we go
along. But what critics have said about this one is that this site, if
it really did catch on, would cause fares to go up.”

Another
option for travelers looking to make financially savvy purchases is to
build up their points by flying frequently and then hire the Miles Guy, a
travel booking expert who helps fliers use credit card points and
frequent-flier miles to book the best flights.
There is a onetime fee
of $325, with a $75 surcharge per additional customer. If the Miles Guy
is unable to find a flight that meets the customer’s needs, there’s no
charge.
“We put him to the test,” Knutsson said. “We had a couple
going on their honeymoon to Bali, booked through Delta, a coach ticket
for two at a higher threshold than he ended up finding in business class
[and"> better routing. They were happy to pay the amount and use a
lower amount of miles. They saved in the long run.”
Alternatives
include Hopper, an app that provides information on when it’s cheapest
to book flights, and Scott’s Cheap Flights, which searches for low-cost,
international flight deals and notifies you of good deals. Use the free
version instead of the paid one for the latter, Knutsson suggested.
