Bargain Airfare
There are quite a few ways that you can get bargain airfare if you just know the tricks to doing it. I can think of at least 10 of them for you right now. If you're quoted a fare that's too expensive and the flight connects through an intermediate city, price two separate itineraries, to the connecting city and to your final destination. Traveling with someone old enough for a senior discount? The discount may apply to you too. If you or a family member is in the military, you may be able to get a Space A flight through the armed services, at a tiny fraction of the usual ticket cost and an international flight for as little as $25. Also, if you fly in uniform, some commercial airlines will give you a discount. You can buy a first class upgrade for as little as $25 on some small regional airlines. On international flights, it may be substantially cheaper to book your connecting domestic flight on the same airline and as part of the same itinerary; they will put you on their domestic partner airline. Since most discounted round trip tickets require that you complete travel in 30 days, you should get a pair of one-way tickets if you want to stay longer. It can sometimes be cheaper to fly through the city you really want to visit to a farther destination, and then fly back to your actual destination. You can get faster service (and often, better compensation) by calling the airline's toll-free number if there are problems
