Searching for last minute flight deals but coming up a little.. sticker shocked?Here are a couple techniques that you may not have considered - good ideas for last minute airfare shoppers.
Strategy #1: Website Madness
If you have the patience, try visiting every major airline's website for their last minute "website-only" deals. This strategy of combing the airline websites at the very last minute can sometimes yield a terrific airfare buy because the airline is quietly unloading any and all available seats according to the law of supply and demand. For example if they have 5 empty seats (supply) and only one person is expressing any interest (demand), then the price will gravitate downwards until the vacant seat is purchased.
Strategy #2: Dialing for Dollars
Try calling around to the area travel agents to see if they have any "block seat reservations" that are not yet sold. Sometimes out of simple desperation, a travel agents will sell these seats on the cheap - sometimes as much as 90% off!
According to Two Ways to Get Cheap Last Minute Flights,
"Travel agents are allocated airline tickets for top resort destinations and last minute travelers. (I) still encourage you to check the travel search engines for cheap airline tickets last minute but you may get lucky and score a great fare by using the travel agent method."I hope these two strategies help take you where you want to go!
