Finding affordable domestic flights these days is a lot different than it was ten years ago. There was a time when there was only one say to purchase USA flights, through a travel agent. Now we have more options at our disposal, but we have to actually do the legwork ourselves.
The tool that is used these days is the internet. There is a myriad of travel sites available to search. Many of the travel sites will check fares with multiple airlines; thus giving you a good overview. You also have the option of searching the airlines’ sites directly if there is a specific airline one prefers. This is handy if one is a member of a specific airline’s frequent flyer club. Searching the internet for affordable domestic flights is convenient because the search will not require someone to traipse about town going from one travel agent to the next.
A search for affordable USA flights begins with knowing when travel is needed. The general rule is, the more flexible your travel dates the better the chance to find an affordable flight. Most travel sites allow you to pick a travel date and look for the best fair within three days in either direction of your chosen dates. Have no fear if your travel dates are not flexible; it just requires more persistence on your part. If you do not find an airfare that you find acceptable you can take comfort in the fact that airfares change quite often; even in the same day.
If you are ready to take on the task of searching for affordable airfares yourself you must be prepared to be persistent and you must have a dollop of patience. I guarantee you will be rewarded and will feel even better knowing you did this yourself.
