Not long ago, Air travel was a sheer luxury. But during last few years, due to business compulsions and sudden increase of disposable income people are traveling to Indian as well as foreign destinations on business and leisure trips the way they had never traveled.
Buying an air ticket is much more complicated than rail or bus ticket. But if you know trick of the trade you may get much better deal. Rates are dynamic, costly on week ends, costly during the peak hours, again costly during vacations. The tickets are much cheaper for international flights if booked 3 to 4 months in advance, and for domestic journeys 30 to 45 days in advance. There is a fair chance that if you try your ticket during the last minute you may get a better deals due to last minute cancellations.

Then there are online aggregators, visit them before booking , you can find out the best deals, compare and zero in on the cheapest quote because latest discounts from various airlines figure out there. I will give you an example, one of my family member had to fly London last month. The one way ticket was available from 24,000/- to 64,000/-, huge variation in the rates again depending upon weekdays/ weekends, peak hours-non peak hour, direct non stop or no. of stop overs. Comparing various elements,we could be able to struck a deal for a Jet Airways non stop flight starting at 1.30 pm IST and reaching London at 6.30 pm GMT and as a part of deal, the airlines provided two suitcases each of 23 kg while most of the other airlines were offering the similar destination for around Rs 48,000/-, of course the dates were different. However sourcing agreegator may not yield a better deal when traveling internally in a foreign country or smaller low cost non-metros centres in India.
Combo deals combining flight and hotel stay may definitely yield minimum 5 to 35 %as airlines as well as Hotels are normally unwilling to offer such deals standalone.
While the best deals are snagged during off or shoulder season, but one can hike his savings in regular season by picking central location thus saving cost as well as time on commuting.
Now a days home stays and rental has become in thing, this can cut a lot on the cost of stay, before booking for accommodation visit airbnb.com for international stay options while homeaway.co.in and homestays.in for domestic destination. In case traveling with family home stays is a much better option. an apartment will much cheaper than staying in a society provided you may cheaper and best option.
