There are many factors that determine an airline ticket price, including how many seats are left and the number of days before the flight. For these reasons, passengers onboard the same flight in the same class pay different prices. And often, the differences can be in the hundreds of dollars. If you are looking for a good deal or just need a little information to direct you in the right path, there are several tips that you may wish to consider to aid you when purchasing airline tickets.

Timing

Usually, you should purchase your tickets early. This will not only secure your spot on the flight of your choice, but it will probably cost less. Don t wait longer than three weeks prior to your departure date. Ideally four to six weeks in advance will yield the cheapest rate. You can try waiting until last minute if necessary, as that will sometimes get you a good price, but not always.
