There are a number of ways to get the best airline deals around. Part of how good the deal will be depends on your own flexibility, your time line and what you are willing to give up in order to make the deal.

The classified ads in your local or regional paper can be a surprising way to find airline deals. People will book vacations that they end up not being able to take. They will then try to sell the complete vacation or pieces of the vacations through the classified ads or other regional papers. When people get desperate you can find great airline deals.

The internet is another source of great airline deals. It is possible to view all the airlines and the flights they offer at a few clicks on the keyboard. Many online services have made it their business to search out the best deals for customers. You can use the internet to find individual flights, packages or other rate options that might lower the costs.

Over the last few years, the airlines have had trouble filling seats because of people's fears, lack of customer service and many other internal problems. Because of the empty seats, airlines are looking for new and creative ways to fill seats. One of them is by offering great deals.

The airlines are also the place to go to get airline deals for traveling at odd times (when the airlines have to fill seats), traveling at the last minute or being flexible with your travel plans and offering to give up your seat for a later flight.

Finding airline deals takes a little research, some patience and the right timing. You can find a ticket to where you want to go at a price that you are willing to pay with just a little effort.
