The crisis is not a reason to withdraw into oneself and mourn the collapsed dreams. Many even know how to make the crisis work for themselves. If you are planning to make yourself a little adventure in the near future, it's time to figure out how not to go wrong with the purchase of air tickets.
- For different destinations, you should choose different ticket purchase times. In the case of traveling in Russia, you can take your time and book a flight a couple of weeks in advance. You can look for tickets to Asia for the next New Year right now, the best offers appear six months earlier and even earlier. Europe is also worth planning in advance. If you stumbled upon a lucrative offer - take it without further hesitation (after looking at the terms of ticket refund).
- In conditions of unstable currencies, it is worth remembering that airlines change rates on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday. Therefore, having found a good offer on Monday, do not delay the purchase until Wednesday.
- Avoid peak periods. During May, June and other public holidays, ticket prices skyrocket by 15-20%. Neighboring dates will be cheaper.
- Budapest will easily replace Prague, while it will cost you half the price. Look for budget alternatives. Another example is Marseille - by arriving there you will save at least 5,000 rubles, compared to neighboring Nice.
- Use services like the “Low Price Calendar” or a subscription to air ticket aggregators so you don't have to go through hundreds of options for departures and arrivals yourself. As soon as a better offer is found, you will certainly be informed.
