As someone who loves to travel and does her fair share of it for
pleasure and work, I’ve spent a considerable amount of time on planes
and in airports. From tiny Dash-8s out of country airports with a single
check-in counter to A380 flights connecting through some of the world’s
busiest hubs, I’ve clocked up some air miles and cashed them in for
more flights.

the years I’ve learnt a thing or two, so as you prepare for your next
flight here are some ideas to make your trip a smoother and happier one.
PLAN YOUR GETAWAY
Money
saved on flights can be well spent at your destination, so it’s worth
finding the best deal. Skyscanner and Kayak price alerts send emails
when your potential flight’s price changes, and in the past I’ve snapped
up some bargains after a flight I was watching went on sale.

me frugal but when I’m planning to fly Virgin I hold off until their
Happy Hour sale on Thursdays (from 4pm AEST) to see if a deal lines up
with my dates. I’m also signed up for email sales alerts from every
airline I could use.Expedia Australia and New Zealand’s Michael Pearson
says, generally speaking, travellers buying on a Sunday find the lowest
airline prices. Booking 21 days or more in advance can also keep costs
down.
Pearson says you should also consider alternative airports.
“Not long ago, the cheapest airports in Europe were the largest and
busiest, but times have changed. Consider flying into other major
cities, including Budapest where, on average, you will save 15 per cent
over flights travelling to London.
