Step 1
First, take advantage of the internet all of the online travel sites are now offering some of the best prices. I suggest you look at least three sites and try again on different days at different times as prices vary a great deal.

Step 2
Second, plan ahead and be flexible as to the day you leave and from what airport you leave from. If your city has a secondary airport their prices can be much cheaper. You may even want to consider driving to another city close to you, if you can save money leaving from that city instead of your hometown.

Third, you may also want to check directly with the airlines. Sometimes they offer great deals on their own that are not offered on online discount sites.

Step 4
Fourth, many people feel they get a good deal through their personal travel agent. Remember you do not pay for their services and they may have some special connection with an airline or carrier so they can compete.

Step 5
Fifth, if you are going on a vacation you may want to consider a package deal. If you purchase the plane ticket,hotel and excursions together you can save money.

Step 6
Lastly, airlines try to promote loyalty by giving frequent flyer miles. As enticing as they may sound, sometimes it is better to just find the best deal you can on any airline. Remember it is getting much more difficult to use those frequent flyer miles.
