Finding a cheap airlines ticket is a matter of two things: planning and flexibility. Combining those two elements can save you a lot of money.

If you are flexible you can save a lot of money. Most places have a high season and a low season. And if you go in the low season, you can save a lot of money on the airline ticket; and the accommodation, sightseeing, food etc.

The day of the week does also have an impact on the air ticket price. A typical business destination like Brussels cost more on a weekday (where all the businessmen needs them), while a ticket to a holiday destination might be more expensive in the weekend.

There are places that are expensive to fly to; whatever day or month you choose. If you are planning to go to one of those places, you can ask yourself, if you can find a cheaper location with the same of attractions instead.

Sometime you can find last minute offers on airline tickets. But in most cases it is best to plan ahead. An investigation has shown that the best time to book your ticket is four weeks ahead. This gives to lowest price with the highest flexibility.

The easiest way to find cheap air tickets is on the Internet. Enter your preferred dates and location in one of the many effective airline ticket search engines. Do also try to vary the dates a little (e.g. from weekdays to the weekends) to find the lowest price.

When you have found the dates (and location) with the best price, try to do the same search in another ticket search engine. You can also try to do the same on the airline's own website. Trying different websites can give you a better price.

So when trying to find the cheapest airline tickets, you should be flexible with the location and the arrival and departure day. Go in the low season on the right day; or visit some less popular places.

And remember to plan well ahead using the Internet's many ticket search engines.
