$50 can now fly from Paris to Casablanca or from Kuala Lumpur to Bali. How to get cheap airfares? I give you my 10 tips for traveling by plane without breaking the bank. The #10 will SURPRISE You ...
#1 STAY OPEN ON YOUR DESTINATION CHOICE
Instead of starting your search by the destination, why not instead explore the cheapest destinations from the closest airport to your home for a given period? Some flight comparators offer exploration features such as the "explore" section, the "where to leave" section.
It is also now possible to create price-lowering alerts on certain flight comparator websites to receive an email when there is a promotion, or a sudden drop in price for a given period or destination.
CREATE ALERTS TO RECEIVE AN EMAIL IN CASE OF PROMOTION OR DROP IN THE PRICE FOR A DATE AND / OR DESTINATION DESIRED!
This method not only makes it possible to buy cheap airline tickets, but especially to discover new destinations that one might not have even considered at the base.

#2 STAY FLEXIBLE ON YOUR TRAVEL DATES
On most flight reservation websites, there is now the "flexible dates" check box that allows you to compare flight prices a few days / weeks before and after the desired date. Often, traveling on a weekday (Wednesday in particular) costs less than a weekend day. Flying at awkward times very late at night or very early can also save a lot of money. Look for the best prices before setting your travel dates.
YOU HAVE MORE CHANCE TO FIND GREAT PLANE TICKETS IF YOU TRAVEL ON WEDNESDAY.

#3 DARE TRAVEL IN LOW SEASON
High season often corresponds to European holiday periods (eg school holidays, Christmas and New Year's Day). In Asia, the high season often coincides with the dry season and with local national and religious holidays. In the southern hemisphere of the planet, the seasons are reversed. Of course, avoid regional festival periods (Rio Carnival, World Cup etc.)
TRAVELING IN THE LOW SEASON OR DURING INTERMEDIATE SEASONS CAN COST UP TO 50% CHEAPER NOT ONLY ON AIRCRAFT TICKETS BUT ALSO IN HOTELS AND ON-SITE ACTIVITIES.
Traveling in low season does not necessarily rhyme with terrible weather conditions as we tend to think. On the contrary. It is even better to visit some destinations in low season or intermediate to avoid the overwhelming heat and especially the crowds.

#4 BUY YOUR AIRCRAFT TICKETS IN ADVANCE
"Last minute" flight promotions have become a myth. To buy cheap airline tickets, you have to do it well in advance. To travel cheap in high season, it is better to buy tickets at least 5 months in advance. Off season high, the best prices are 40 to 80 days before departure.
TO FIND GREAT AIRLINE TICKETS, MAKE YOUR RESERVATION 5 MONTHS IN ADVANCE IN HIGH SEASON, AND 40 TO 80 DAYS BEFORE DEPARTURE OUT OF SEASON.
Do not book more than 6 months in advance as some companies (especially low-cost airlines) only sell their flights 6 months before the scheduled departure date.

#5 DO NOT FEAR THE LOW-COST
Low-cost airlines sometimes offer unbeatable airline tickets to exotic destinations. The price to pay ? a little less flexibility, quality of service or comfort with flights served at secondary airports. We have been able to discover several countries of Southeast Asia through monster promotions. and now offer long-haul flights from North America to Europe or the Caribbean at super-competitive prices. For cheap airline tickets to Europe or North Africa, check regularly for promotions.
WITH THE LOW-COST, CHECK THE TRAVEL CONDITIONS (BAGGAGE, TAXES ETC.) TO AVOID SURPLUSES AND BAD SURPRISES

#6 MAKE SIMULATIONS WITH NEAREST AIRPORTS
Sometimes, it is more advantageous to travel from the airport of a neighboring city or border country, and continue to the final destination by land transport.
TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CHEAP TICKETS, CHECK AIRPORT PRICES NEARBY!
For example, flights to Latin America are often cheaper from Madrid rather than Paris with. We flew at half price on a Kuala Lumpur-New York flight rather than a direct flight back home to Montreal. From New York, we then took the train to Montreal. While it takes longer, but the hundreds of dollars saved are welcomed. Do the calculation including the transfer fee, parking or hotel if applicable, and travel via secondary airports if the total price is cheaper.

#7 USE MULTIPLES FLIGHT COMPARATORS
We always compare the prices on many DIFFERENT flights comparators before making our final choice.
FOR INTERNAL FOREIGN FLIGHTS, IT IS BETTER TO CONSULT THE SITES OF LOCAL AIRCRAFT COMPANIES DIRECTLY RATHER THAN COMPARATORS OF FLIGHTS THAT DO NOT INCLUDE THEM IN THEIR RESEARCH RESULTS.
In any case, once you have found the best price through the comparators, check the website of the airline in question to see if they offer a better price for the same flight. You could sometimes be surprised.

#8 BUY MULTI-DESTINATION FLIGHTS, LONG-STOP FLIGHTS OR TICKETS WORLD TOURS
For those who want to travel for the longer term and cover several destinations, it is more advantageous to buy multi-destination flights. It is possible to buy tickets Pacific tour or world tour with certain air alliances. These tickets are a combination of one-way flights with airlines in the same alliance that allow multiple stops in a closed circuit at a very affordable price. Many travelers choose to include some very expensive stops such as Easter Island or French Polynesia as part of a multi-destination trip.
WITH MULTI-DESTINATION FLIGHTS, UNUSUAL RETURNS ARE AVOIDED WHEN IT IS EXPECTED TO VISIT SEVERAL REGIONS, OR COMBINE SEVERAL COUNTRIES DURING THE SAME JOURNEY.
For example: land in Casablanca and leave Marrakech when you plan to cross Morocco, or land in Sydney and leave Kingston when you plan to visit Australia and New Zealand successively.
Alternatively, flights with long stops are often cheaper and represent the opportunity to discover a new destination for a few days or hours. This is how we discovered Dubai during a 3-day stopover before heading to Southeast Asia with Etihad Airways, or when we discovered Iceland on a long-haul flight. between Paris and Montreal with the WowAir formulas.
Do not forget to check if a visa is required to leave the airport. For stops of less than one day, I advise you to leave your luggage at the airport boxes.
When it comes to crossing the Atlantic or the Pacific, check the prices on the websites of gulf companies, Emirates, Etihad or Qatar Airways which often offer long-haul flights of very high quality at unbeatable prices with stops in the Middle East.

#9 SUBSCRIBE TO A LOYALTY PROGRAM OR TRAVEL CREDIT CARD
Each airline alliance has its own frequent flyer program that earns points when traveling with member airlines of the same alliance. However, unless you travel very often with the same airline companies, it is extremely difficult to accumulate enough points to successfully redeem them for international flights.
A more successful option is to bring a travel credit card that allows you to accumulate miles by making purchases, then exchange for air tickets. There are several options: Redemption of points for flights of a certain alliance, exchange of miles for dollars, accumulation of additional points in partner shops, etc.

So, this last "geek" little tip is for the amateurs of statistics.
Open your Chrome browser incognito mode when you do your flight searches, as it seems that prices fluctuate depending on supply and demand. If you do several searches for the same flight today, and do the same search again the next day, chances are you'll be charged a higher price by using cookies and other bugs that remember your browsing and buying behavior.
Several studies have been done to decipher the flight price fluctuation algorithms in order to discover the best moment to click on the "book" button. Theories are numerous but there seems to be a consensus on the magic number of 53 days before departure (or 54 days according to). To rake wider, the ideal booking window is between 21 and 112 days before departure. Not very specific, you will tell us, but there are so many factors that come into play that it is difficult to generalize.
THE IDEAL WINDOW TO BUY CHEAP TICKETS IS BETWEEN 21 AND 112 DAYS BEFORE DEPARTURE
Moreover, November seems to be statistically the cheapest month to travel, December being the most expensive of the year.
