Chances are,
you're overpaying for flights 🥺

Let's face it – we all share the frustration of overpaying for airfares.

The good news is, you don't always have to pay the high prices dictated by the airline. As with all travel hacks, the secret lies in the artful blend of patience, flexibility, and a touch of insider knowledge.

Before hitting ‘Book’ on your preferred OTA—whether it’s Kayak, Skyscanner, Expedia, or Google Flights—take a moment to explore potential ways to cut down on the final cost. With a bit of luck or some subtle adjustments to your travel plan, the savings on long-haul flights could amount to hundreds of dollars, a noteworthy sum per person. Multiply this sum if you typically travel with your better half, family, or friends.

Let’s get straight to the point now. Based on our experience, we have gathered some basic, practical strategies to ensure you never pay more than necessary for your next flight.

11 strategies to pay less ✂️

1. Save 2-10%
   Book directly with an airline
   OTAs and travel agents often up the price by adding a service fee. Additionally, creating an account on the airline website allows you to accumulate miles and points, and enjoy extra benefits and travel perks as a loyal customer.

2. Save 5-10%
   Fly on weekdays 
   Weekend flights tend to cost slightly more due to increased demand. By choosing weekdays for your travel, you may also experience less crowded planes, making for a more comfortable journey.

3. Save 5-20%
   Book group flights
   Airlines provide discounts for 9 or more travelers. Look for promotions that may reduce this threshold for groups of friends or families.

4. Save 10-20%
   Take advantage of stopovers
   Non-direct flights with layovers or stopovers usually come with lower fares. Embracing stopovers opens the door to exploring additional destinations. For extended layovers, some airlines even offer free accommodation or city tours—we make sure that our premium members are always the first to know!

5. Save 15-20%
   Fly early morning
   Due to lower demand for flights departing 1am - 5am, airlines offer significant discounts. Early morning flights often boast less crowded airports, faster check-ins, and a smoother overall travel experience.

6. Save 10-30%
   Book in advance
   As departure day nears, airfares start to rise. However, around 4–6 months before departure comes the ‘Prime Booking Window’ – when some seats have already been sold, airlines start dropping prices to stimulate demand. This is the ideal time for bargain hunting!

7. Save 10-30%
   Fly during the low season
   Less demand = lower prices. Additionally, airlines tend to offer exclusive promotions and discounts during these periods.

8. Save 10-35%
   Book round-trip flights
   Airlines structure their pricing to incentivize passengers to commit to a complete journey upfront. As a result, booking a round-trip is nearly always cheaper compared to purchasing two separate one-way tickets.

9. Save 10-40%
   Sign up for frequent flyer programs
   Airlines offer discounts to foster customer loyalty through their programs. By consistently flying with a specific airline or its partners (members of alliances such as Star Alliance, Oneworld, or SkyTeam), you can accumulate valuable points—which can be redeemed for discounted fares or even free flights.

10. Save 10-50%
    Wait for sales and promotions
    Airline promotions are among the easiest ways to significantly reduce the price of your ticket. However, not all promotions are worth the time spent going through terms and conditions. The promotions we send to our premium members are vetted by our experts; only quality offers with authentic value make it onto our final list.

11. Save 40-80%
    Sign up for SuperDeal alerts
    Expert-picked deals are much cheaper due to insider knowledge. At Air Traveler Club, we publish verified price drops that result in real savings on airfare. Premium members have access to dozens of SuperDeals updated daily, with real-time notifications via mobile app.
