can help you to get a cheap flight to your dream destination:<"p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>+# ,ecide your expected price !rac$et:<"strong> -efore
searching for the cheap airfares, it is always a good practice to decide your expected price !rac$et#
.ou should hae a clear idea that how much you want to pay for a particular flight# /here are
extreme and continuous fluctuations in airfares till closing of !oo$ing for a flight, so you can not
predict that when the fare is at minimum# 0nce you find the fare in your expected price !rac$et just
go ahead and !oo$ at that moment# ,o not wait for another day#<"p>
<p style="text-align: justify">' was expected to pay '12 34444 for a return flight to 5airo from
,elhi# *o, when ' found a return flight in '12 +6444, ' did not thin$ twice and !oo$ed that
immediately, !ecause that was in my price !rac$et# &fter 7-days price went up to to '12 38444 for
the same flight#<"p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>3# *earch on multiple online portals: <"strong>5hec$

target="%!lan$">flight !oo$ing sites<"a> !efore !oo$ing your flight tic$et# *ome portals do not
include low cost airlines in their flight search, so you should also aware of that fact# *ome portals
offer certain discount on an airfare that may not !e offered !y another portal# <"p>
<p style="text-align: justify">9hen ' was !oo$ing the return airfare to 5airo, ' found that two
portals were offering almost the same price :second portal price was '12 744 higher;, !ut second
portal was offering an additional discount of a!out '12 +644 on a particular !an$ credit card, so '
got the cheaper tic$et on the second portal in comparison to the first portal#<"p>
<p style="text-align: justify">&lso, sometimes when you go on a particular airline<s we!site to !oo$
a tic$et, there is an option to select your country# 'f you select your country other than the airline
home country, you may get a tic$et at higher price# /his is what happened to me when ' !oo$ed a
flight from 5airo to &swan on =gypt&ir# 9hen ' selected 'ndia as my country, the fare was a!out
'12 >644, !ut when ' selected =gypt as my country ' paid a!out ?84 =@A :approx# ?+44 '12; for
the same flight# /his was a huge difference#<"p>
<p style="text-align: justify">For the same flight when ' searched on the portals li$e ma$emytrip
and yatra, they also showed '12 >644 approx# as the tic$et price, !ut when ' searched it on $aya$, '
saw the price was '12 7B44# (oweer, ' !oo$ed it on =gypt&ir we!site in '12 ?+44 approx# as
$aya$ also directed me to that site only#<"p>
