Tips on how to get cheap plane tickets are:

• No Direct Flights - If you have little time to take an indirect flight to your destination then those plane tickets can come cheap as you are normally compensated for your time in the form of cheap plane tickets.

• Off Season - If you are traveling to tourist destinations then you can get a good deal if it is an off season because there will be less travelers during that time and airlines would offer discounts to get full occupancy for their flights.

• Student Airfare - If you are a student then you should look for a deal offered by some airlines in the form of student discounts.

• Senior Citizen or Pensioner Discount - Some airlines also offer plane tickets on discount for senior citizens and pensioners. So Senior Citizens must keep a check on those airlines while booking plane tickets.

• Defense Personnel Discount - Defense Personnel can check from airlines whether they are offering any discounts for Defense Personnel’s.

• Advance Booking – Tickets booking done well in advance can save you lot of money as initial some percentage of tickets are sold at rock bottom prices by airlines to give benefit to people who are early planners.

• Consolidators - Tickets bought directly from airlines websites could prove to be costlier, rather one should go and book tickets from consolidators or travel agents and other plane tickets comparing and selling websites who are authorized to book tickets on behalf of airlines. They give discount to customers to increase their brand loyalty. They can afford the discount as they take bulk deals from airlines.

• Special Occasions - Always look out for special offers in Newspapers, magazines and newsletters for announcement by airlines or websites on particular occasions like their establishment day or week etc.

• Last minute tickets - Browse the websites of airlines to check for last minute tickets which are available at almost half rates.

• Odd hours – If you take a ticket for an airline leaving at odd hour you may get it cheap as there are not too many takers for those tickets.
