Understanding how the airline operators work and what their cut-off points are for deals, can help you to beat the system to a certain extent and it seems if you set your watch for Tuesday mid-afternoon, this appears to be the optimum time to grab yourself any discount that is on offer before the deals are pulled on a Thursday and they can sell the seats at a higher price to those travelers who no longer have a choice on their travel plans.
Another interesting tip to note is that you can often get a better discount by booking separately rather than in one group. It might be a bit more legwork to run through the same transaction two or three times for the same trip but if it is going to save you money, it has to be worth the effort.
Once you have got your flights booked at the cheapest price around, your next task is to get a great deal on the accommodation. There are plenty of hints and tips on how to get the best deal here as well, so take a good look and start saving money that could be put to better use, when you arrive at your destination.
