Getting cheaper tickets suggestions

I would say go in the middle of the week, also go on the off season, do not take coach but sit on the regular seats.

In my local area , we can applied for student rate and senior citizen rate. Other than that we can also buy monthly pass for public trains. Buying monthly pass it cheaper than the per journey and more convenient and faster as no need to line up everytime to buy ticket. While budget airline , buy the ticket well in advance like 6 months to 1 year before the departure date really have good discount from 30% to 80! however date fixed cannot be exchange or change without hefty fine.

When I worked in London I had a good contact who used to work for British Rail and what he didn't know about the ticketing structure wasn't worth writing about, he knew the fare system inside out, and he was the guy to go to if you wanted to know the best price, as well as the best route. It was amazing, the guy had a wonderful memory and 100% of the time he was right, we saved a fortune through his knowledge of getting around and the right tickets to buy. I strongly believe in this life it's not what you know, it's who you know!

When my husband and I travelled from Denmark to Amsterdam we got some really cheap train tickets. We had to buy the tickets two months in advance to get those tickets. We saved a lot of money that way. In my country there are discount tickets for young people, students and senior citizens. I am not a student anymore and I am over 26 so I am not able to use any of the disounnt cards. In the busses children and senior citizens get discounts. It is also possible to buy ten trip discount cards and I did that in the past when I a student and had to travel between my home and the town where my school was. It is often possible to buy cheap plane tickets if we are willing to change planes instead of choosing a direct flight. It is more timeconsuming to change planes but we are often able to save a lot of money that way.

There are companies that offer you cheapertickets at some times of the year (low season, for instance). As for myself, I spend less in metro tickets because I`m a senior. Around the world there are special prices for age groups and for students.

you can try varies traveling sites for airline tickets. I have used yapta.com in the past, they have a refund policy if you book a flight and it becomes cheaper between the time you book and the time of the flight they issue a refund for the amount the price decreased. The split ticketing idea is a good one and you might want to try and apply it to airline tickets to as in leave your destination using one airline but use a different airline for your return trip because it would be cheaper to get one way tickets with other airlines then to get round trip tickets using one airline. Another one is you are getting a rental car and a flight out. Choose a cheaper destination for the flight and then drive the rest of the way to your real destination, you are paying for the rental anyways might as well use it right?

I do agree in early bookings. Especially booking during off seasons. I've never tried packing light but I think it's a better option because they allow hand-carries to be up to 7 kilos max here in the Philippines. Plus I won't have to worry if I come late because there's nothing to wait at the counter. And since there aren't human weighing scales in terminals, I think I'll try multiple-pocketed vest, too. Actually, a lot of promo airfares are extremely abundant and popular nowadays. And the travel dates are set four months to a year after the promo date. So I can still have time for palnning and preparation. Thanks for sharing Maximax8 ;)
