Everyone loves a bargain but is there anything more satisfying than
bagging an international airfare for less than a week’s rent?
Knowing
the best time to book that dream European summer holiday – or how to
ensure you’re the first to know when sale fares are released – can lead
to hundreds of dollars of savings. It’s money that can be put to
valuable use strolling the streets of Paris or lounging on a sunbed on
the Italian Amalfi Coast.

Spring
equals earlybird specials to Europe and with budget carrier Scoot
already throwing down the gauntlet to other airlines with its recent
rock-bottom Australia to Athens fares from $369 one way, competition is
set to be fierce.
“The initial release of seats at these prices
has certainly piqued a lot of interest, particularly because we are
launching services during the European summer,” says Scoot’s Australian
general manager Dennis Basham.
“We are yet to see other carriers
offer such competitive fares during such a peak travel period.”Basham
says Australians have spent the past couple of years travelling closer
to home, which has led to long-haul international airlines offering very
competitive airfares to the Middle East, Europe and the US.
The good news is, we’re already starting from a lower base line.
Stephen
Limbrick, Qantas executive manager, global sales development, says on
average, flights are 40 per cent cheaper than they were a decade ago,
and a few insider tips can help to ensure you save even more.
“Booking
well in advance of travel, selecting a domestic flight that departs in
the middle of the week and at an off-peak travel time are just some of
the ways our customers can secure great fares,” he says.
