Searching for cheap flights, last minute offers flights or error fare flights? You can decrease your travel costs by a lot if you stay informed on the latest offers from airline companies. The differences can be big, for example airplane tickets that sell initially for USD 900 can reach 500 or even lower, if you know when to buy.

Cheap flights tips : Why does an error fare occur? Statistically, mistake airfares are inevitable, and they can occur due to many factors. The most common cause of an error fare is human error, but it can also be caused by technological issues, communication problems or wrong currency conversions. How do I search for error fares? Among thousands of flights daily, it would be too time and money consuming for airlines to check and change just about any booking and therefore, they are often honouring such fares. However, you do have to know how to find them and once you do, you have to act very quickly.

Travel agencies like STA Travel or Flight Centre can help find you a cheap ticket. Don’t overlook them! Booking different airlines will allow you to mix and match tickets to get the best flight deal possible. This way you can work the best deals. You’ll be flying separate tickets but it does work. Most of the time booking websites use the same airline for your ticket. But by mixing and matching airlines on various legs of the trip, you can save money by always going with the cheap airline – and making sure the flight tips line up! Find more info at Flight alerts.

But before flying via a mistake fare, you have to snag that mistake fare. Here’s how to find them or other super-low fares. Pay for membership to special deal sites. Dale Johnson, co-founder of Nomad Paradise, has scored deals like New York to Johannesburg round trip for less than $200 because he pays for memberships to Scott’s Cheap Flights and Flystein, which send deals to him often. Sometimes these are mistake fares, and other times they’re simply particularly good deals.

The Travel Alert Club (or as our team refer to it, “TAC”) are a bunch of travel enthusiasts that love saving money on travel and flight costs. Our goal is to find travel and flight deals so we NEVER pay full fare and have the chance to visit places that may have been too expensive at the standard fare. We do what we do because we love it, so our jobs are not really ‘jobs’ and apart from paying the bills, our real joy comes from hearing about the savings our members have made and the amazing places they visit as a result. Originally a family run business we now have a team of 5 based across 3 countries (well…..i did say we like to travel!) – London, Zurich and Bucharest. When we’re not looking for great deals and sharing these with our members, you’ll find us on the slopes in the winter and by the beach in the summer……we live very simple lives 🙂 oh, and as we ourselves don’t pay full fare, of course we may go more than once…..with a little extra spending money!
