Where to Look for Airfares
-
There are a number of resources online to find cheap airfares from Minneapolis to Orlando. Start with the websites Kayak and Mobissimo, which grab information from various travel websites to find the best fares. Kayak is good because it shows a calendar with fares for dates that have been recently searched for. Mobissimo is helpful because it pulls from websites such as Hotwire, Travelocity and Orbitz so that you don't have to look them up separately.
Cheaper Dates to Fly
-
Consider flying in mid-week for the cheapest airfares. For instance, flying out on a Wednesday is generally less expensive than flying out on a Friday. Most people leave for the weekend, therefore buying up tickets for Friday means airlines can charge more because they know they will sell tickets anyway.
-
Time of Year to Fly
-
If you have some flexibility, consider flying during the off-season, normally the fall, late winter and early spring. Do a quick search on Kayak, which allows you to look at a calender of dates and fares according to users searches. This will give you an idea of what dates are cheapest to fly.
Waiting Until the Last Minute
-
Some people like to plan well in advance before taking a trip. A lot of airlines post last-minute deals when they realize they are not going to sell out of seats. Consider waiting until two weeks before your trip to book your flight.
Checking With Airlines Directly
-
Contact airlines that fly out of Minneapolis directly to see if they offer any deals. Not all airlines will post every deal they have on travel websites, so it's good to check them yourselves on a regular basis. For instance, American Airlines posts a long list of "airline specials." Depending on what promotions they have, you may just find a deal that you won't find anywhere else.
