Airfare dirt cheap just isn't possible anymore you say? The truth is you can still save a bundle. The current economic conditions with gas prices and the shrinking dollar has has a huge effect on travel over the last 12 months but you can win the war against high prices! The last year or so has seen dramatic changes in travel costs but it really is possible to secure yourself some great prices on cheap airfare if you know the tricks. Just remember this rule. Getting airfare at dirt cheap prices only means one thing and that is that the price you paid for your ticket cost way less than the price the guy paid sitting next to you. 1. Bump Your Way TO A Better Price. Yes, this method has been around for quite awhile but still, many people have never tried it. Your main goal is to try and give up your seat to someone else on an overbooked flight. When you do, you can most often get the next flight out at an incredible discount. Although not as feasible as it was in the past look for this opportunity to get better as airlines cut back. Less flights mean less seats so I expect this to become popular again soon. Just keep in mind that you must be flexible with your schedule and you must arrive for your scheduled flight early enough to let the staff know you will take a bump. This technique works better than you can imagine and once to do it a time or two it won't be long until you are saving some rather big bucks! 2.The Bucket Shop Method Of course you have heard of Travelocity, Expedia, Hotwire and others and you have probably save lot's of money using them but have you tried the Bucket Shop? It is possible to save up to %50 or more using this method. Even better is that these aggregators are just as easy to deal with as using the internet to book your flights. Consolidators such as Bucket Shop but their tickets in big bulk blocks. Buying from them saves you a ton and also saves you the worry about restrictions or other airline rules when buying straight from the airlines. It's not unusual to find airfare dirt cheap from one of these guys for flights already sold out by the airlines saving you a nice chunk of change. Some of the best consolidators are of course Bucket Shop, Air Brokers and Travel Hub to name a few. Get creative with these guys and save a bundle! 3. Break Up Your Flight And Save Some Cash! Seems illogical I Know but it does work. Quite often you can save a load of money by just breaking up your trip a little. Book separate flights to a couple of cities on your way to your final destination instead of buying a single trip ticket. It can save you cash. I know it may mean an extra stop but so what. You are looking for airfare dirt cheap right? There are ways and times they are a changing. You can save big bucks if you are willing to play the game. 4. What? Just Ship Your Luggage? That's right! Because of all the extra charges the airlines are slapping on you for packing it with you, it just may pay you to ship your luggage via UPS. You may be surprised to find that by doing a little research with UPS, FedEx and others that you could save a small bundle by just shipping with them instead! You may just be able to cut that expense in half. If you have a ton of bags you are carrying of just a large family in tow the savings will wow you! Another great perk? Shipping your luggage will guarantee they get there when you do! No such guarantee from any of the airlines I have ever flown with. Well, there you have it. Just a few tricks that can save you some cash. There are tons more if you know where to look so stop paying full price! You can save yourself some money. Take my word for it and it can be easier than you ever realized. About the Author: So, would you like even more great tips on how to find Airfare Dirt Cheap?
