Quick tips for cheap flights

1. Buy your tickets at least twenty-one days prior or you will pay more. If you plan to fly during a holiday, it may take even more advance notice to get a low fare..

2. Fly on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday for a discount. Also, try to depart late at night or extra early for a cheaper fare.

3. Booking a hotel or car at the same time as the flight will often give you a discount.

4. Read and watch the news for limited-time promotions.

5. Be careful with auction and consolidator sites, they often won't offer a different flight if you miss yours. Pay close attention to your contract.

6. If you are going to more than one city, book all connecting flights on the same airline to get a cheaper price.

7. Ask for student, senior and military discounts if you qualify.

8. Inquire about standby fares.
