Sign up for a rewards card

Find yourself flying with the same airline a lot. Sign up for a travel program such as Qantas Frequent Flyer. Every time you choose to fly with them you could earn points towards your next flight, making it more affordable to travel.

Fly the cheap days

It is cheaper to fly on certain days of the week. The most expensive days to fly are Monday, Friday and Sunday. This is due to business travellers as well as weekend getaways. Therefore, booking a flight on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday should yield you a cheaper fare. Another tip is to book 90 days prior to departure for a good deal.

Time your flight

People like to fly at times that are easy for them. Therefore, choosing to fly early morning or late evening after 9pm will also get you a cheaper rate.

Price Alerts

There are many websites where you can setup price alerts for a certain route. Once these decrease an alert will be sent via email.
