How
I get free airline tickets & travel on a shoestring
budget...
|
Myth:
Cheapest fares are always found online.
Truth:
Wrong. Many of the wholesale airline contracts are prohibited
from being marketed on a website. If you're only searching Expedia,
Orbitz, Travelocity and the like, you're not seeing all the
really discounted fares that are available.
Myth:
Buying direct from the airlines is good.
Truth:
Wrong again. You just eliminated the possibility of buying a
consolidator airfare, which is almost always cheaper than anything
the airlines offer, and, the cheapest airfare are sold
only by travel agencies.
Myth:
The airlines sell off unsold seats cheap at the last minute.
Truth:
This myth can cost you big time or the cancellation of your
plans if you're not willing to pay the exorbitant price the
airlines want to extort from you. Believing this myth proves
you have no clue about the airlines' distribution system.
