Rick has given great tips on finding cheapest airfare on Tues, 3pm Eastern on domestic flights. What about international? I’m going to ULN, Mongolia late June and the price has rised $200-350 in a matter of 3 days (late March going into April) Does international flight have similar workings to get cheaper price? Or it’s generally the closer to the date of departure, the more expensive it’ll get?
Would appreciate your feedback on this!
Vivian,
Unfortunately, airfare sales on international routes are not so predictable; and we are already seeing prices on flights to Europe firming up – as in, they’re moving higher. Last year, there were bargains galore – not so for travel this summer.
But there likely will be a few good deals, and one of the best things you can do is sign up for our alerts – we tell you of any price-drops in real time – just use this link: http://www.farecompare.com/when-to-fly/twitter/ Don’t be fooled by the word “twitter” in the URL, you can sign up for email alerts at this link too. And I urge you to open/respond to any alerts promptly.
In this environment, if you see a good deal, grab it.
Hope this helps,
Rick
