This is the 15th article of [World Traveler]

I once did a statistics on travel expenses. Transportation costs account for about 30%-40% of the overall travel consumption, of which air tickets are the big ones. In order to save this huge expense, I have used various strategies and practiced them (Red-eye Airlines has experienced sleeping at the airport), and tried various folk remedies (such as A-B, because the transfer to C is cheaper, although the distance is twice as long and the price is twice as cheaper, and I have gone far away), and have explored my experience of low-priced air tickets.

It is better to have fun alone than to have fun, so I started to write this article. (Every time I pick up the goods, I have many brain cells. I am Lei Feng who has a lot of brains.)

Guangzhou-Kota Kinabalu/Tawau-Kua Lumpur/Kua Lumpur-Yogyaria/Bali-Penang

I once tried it for two months, and only 1,500 yuan (including tax) was spent on four-way aircraft in three countries (non-joined) . I also tried to get from Honduras to Peru for only 1,800 yuan. The full air ticket price is more than 9,000 yuan. After normal discount, the air ticket price is about 4,000 yuan. I bought a bargain air ticket at 20% off.

You must be curious, how did I buy these special air tickets?

High-energy Dry goods Special price Save money Can you play The cheapest air ticket in advance How long to buy in advance?

special air tickets are usually pre-sale in advance. Airlines generally price low-priced cabins on schedule.

The special pre-sale time for domestic and international air tickets is different.

Generally speaking, domestic flights start to adjust flight discount cabins 30-60 days in advance. Therefore, it is easier to book domestic air tickets one to two months in advance to get the lowest price tickets.

is a rigid demand within the week before departure. Most business people book 3-5 days before departure (especially in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Shenzhen, etc.), and booking air tickets within the week before departure is often the most expensive.

For international air tickets, the booking cycle will be longer, and you can book 3-6 months in advance. For example, I have recently observed that the cheapest one-way flight ticket from Guangzhou to Australia is less than 1,000 yuan. Will air ticket prices soar during holidays?

Now, our National Day in Greater China has become a festival for everyone to celebrate. When I went to Japan, I found that stores were celebrating National Day. With such a urgent need, how can the air ticket price not rise?

Generally speaking, from two or three days before holidays, such as on 28, 29, and 30 before National Day, almost domestic and international air tickets are on the verge of rushing.

But many air tickets start to fall back from the afternoon of the 1st, and usually fall to a low point on the 2nd and 3rd. At this time, you can travel 5 at a staggered peak and you can also buy low-priced tickets during holidays. What is the best website to search for when buying air tickets in ? There are many websites that can compare prices in

, such as priceline, agoda, cheapflights, etc., and I only love -day tour (I really don’t get advertising money). I've used a lot of other things, but in the end I just left one. What is the best time for

-day tour?

can only say that its search function is too awesome !

1. What you searched for is the price including tax, not eye-catching and hooligan. It looks like 399, and clicking in will turn into 4399. What Tianxun found was not a scam-free low price, but a real low price.

2, the search price is relatively complete. Unlike some unscrupulous websites, N prices and N agents are actually just messy agents under their name. They seem to be comparing many, but in fact there is no comparison. Such an OTA will be destroyed sooner or later. Recently, I heard that many airlines join forces to stop fighting with him.

3, departure and return dates support fuzzy search . For example, if you are not sure which day to set out, it will be fine in almost September, and it will be fine to see which day the air ticket is cheaper and which day to leave. If you go to the airline website, this will kill you because most of them do not support fuzzy searches, and you can only check them day by day. On Tianzhang, you can check the price within a week, within a month, or even within a year.

4, departure and return locations also support fuzzy search for .For example, if you want to know the cheapest flight tickets to the United States in China, you can directly hit China-US, and you will list which city in China will fly to the United States and which city is the cheapest. It is a boon for those who open itineraries.

Choose the right transfer station

At the beginning of the article, I once bought a flight ticket from Honduras to Peru at a low price of 20% off. You should know that there are no cheap airlines in Central and South America, so where can I find this special air ticket?

secret is that I chose Fort Lauderdale as the transit place.

Flights from San Pedro Sula in Honduras to Fort Lauderdale in the United States, it took more than 100 US dollars to fly to Fort Lauderdale in the United States, and the next day, it took more than 100 US dollars to go to Lima, Peru, the second trip also cost more than 300 US dollars, totaling. During the same period, the flight ticket from San Pedro Sula to Lima has to be transferred to Guatema City and San Salvador twice, and the cost is more than 1,000 US dollars.

I chose a non-connected flight ticket and went to the United States. With the hotel I stayed in that night (US$50), I still saved more than 600 US dollars. As a reminder, a US visa is required to transfer to the United States.

Finding a reasonable transit place will save you both time and money.

What is a reasonable transit place? Generally, transit places have the following characteristics:

1. International large cities

2. Transportation hub

3. Route coverage is very wide

North America has Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles, New York, etc., Europe has Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris, etc., China has Beijing, Shanghai, etc., and Southeast Asia has Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, etc.

Follow the airline's big promotions

I bought the three countries and four non-joining flight tickets in the past two months: Guangzhou-Kota Kinabalu/Tawau-Kua Lumpur/Kua Lumpur-Yogyaria/Bali-Penang only spent 1,500 yuan (including tax price), which was bought during the AirAsia promotion.

How can we know that airlines are doing promotions?

Follow the airline official website/WeChat official account/APP to obtain first-hand information.

Take AirAsia as an example. It will have about several rounds of big promotions every year, and each time it launches a different route. Those who are familiar with AirAsia generally know what routes it will have. As a Malaysian airline, its routes are mostly transited in Kuala Lumpur, and the promotional flights are generally Red Eye Airlines.

Another key point is that you have to grab air tickets for big promotions.

I still remember that I was robbing AirAsia's special air tickets, sitting in front of the computer with a quilt, waiting for the special air tickets to come out at 12 a.m. During this period, there were N times when the computer was down and I finally spent two hours to get the tickets done. Heart-wrenching? Very abusive. In order to save money, do you think you shouldn't fight? The cheap air ticket is not a pie that falls from the sky. There is no free lunch in the world. It’s really a worry to buy special air tickets at

.

Huh? Didn’t you say that Tianzhang can find cheap air tickets? So do you still need to watch the promotions of these airlines one by one? You may also be able to find these special air tickets in

Day Tour, but don’t forget that the special air tickets for the big promotion are all limited. All have to be prepared in advance and charge to grab it. Therefore, this type of promotional air ticket is not suitable for you to buy it by browsing on Tianzhang. I'm afraid there is too late. Can't get it.

It seems that I have never booked super low-priced airline tickets from Tianzhang. Is this a bug? Does any expert understand this situation? What are the low-cost airlines on each continent/country? From cheap airlines, you can usually book cheaper air tickets. Different routes/regions have different low-cost airlines. Below are some of them according to the large areas: Asia: AirAsia: www.airasia.com (Malaysia company, many routes are transited through Kuala Lumpur, with developed routes, and are the first choice for cheap air tickets in Southeast Asia; in addition to AirAsia, there are also routes from Australia and New Zealand) Tigerair: http://tigerairways.airhk.net/ (Singapore company, in addition to some conventional Southeast Asian routes, there are routes to Japan, Mongolia, China, Australia and New Zealand and the Russian Far East) Cebu Pacific cebupacific: www.cebupacificair.com (the first choice to fly to the Philippines in China. I have booked a round trip of Guangzhou-Cebu for 350 yuan.BUT At that time, Brother Guang couldn't leave the country due to fingerprint problems, and his air ticket was invalid.回) United States:

1. Jetblue: http://www.jetblue.com

2. Crossing Airlines Airtran: http://www.airtran.com/Home.aspx (Cheap air tickets in the United States are mainly Eastern United States)

3. Southwest Airlines Southwest: http://www.southwest.com/(The largest and most well-known low-cost airline in the United States)

4. Frontier Airlines Frontier Airlines: http://www.frontierairlines.com/frontier/index.jsp

5. ATA: http://www.ata.com/home.html (cheap air tickets in the United States and Hawaii)

6. Spirit Airlines: http://www.spiritair.com/welcome.aspx

7. Virgin: https://www.virginamerica.com/

(The United States is a country with wheels, suitable for self-driving in the same continent. There are too many low-cost airlines to choose from across continents, and you can just pick up a lot of them)Europe: Germany: Berlin Airlines Airberlin: www.airberlin.comUnited Kingdom: Easyjet: www.e asyjet.com Spain: Vueling: www.vueling.com Netherlands: Royal Dutch KLM: www.klm.com (Europe is also very developed in low-cost airlines. Usually, when booking air tickets in advance, you will book ultra-low-priced airline tickets. For example, France to Spain only costs dozens of euros, which is much cheaper than trains and cars. Europe is a place suitable for flying everywhere. If you save money on air tickets, you can leave a lot of budget to buy and eat)

has introduced so many low-cost airline companies, but I still feel it is necessary to popularize some service standards for low-cost airlines, and give some references to friends who have not taken low-cost airlines:

1. The seats are relatively small. You may feel that you don’t stretch your legs like an ordinary plane, or you may not be able to adjust the seats at a large scale, so your waist will be a little sore.

2. Integrated airline generally does not include checked baggage. If you need to check it, please purchase it separately. Generally speaking, pre-buying luggage online is much cheaper than buying it before boarding.

3. Inexpensive airlines do not include free catering. If necessary, you can buy it.

4. Many low-cost airlines will have terminals that are different from non-humid airlines. Some are separate terminals, so special attention is required.

is actually to give friends who have no experience in riding in cheap airlines to have a reasonable expectation. I think it is reasonable for low-cost travelers to have an additional choice, and the charging structure also fully considers the needs of each person to take. As for whether this kind of low-cost airline is suitable for individuals, it depends on your comprehensive consideration of the comfort level and price of the ride. lazy people, please come over, you must not miss this

. If you insist on seeing this, then congratulations.

Because the big move has just begun (Xiaoyu, how nagging are you?)

Maybe you will think, how can I have so much time to pay attention to so many airlines? Go and see which airline is selling? I just want someone to tell me, is that OK?

Haha, I am such a lazy person, so I have followed some reliable air ticket experts. Just take a look at the content they posted every day and you can roughly understand which air tickets are worth buying.

Look here and don’t go to treasure

mileage points?

I am not a regular flyer, I have a friend.He can almost make points earned by flying around five or six countries in a year, or business class or first class. He is also proficient in the hotel.

I once asked for advice humbly, and he was also very reluctant to give me advice. After explaining it in detail to me for more than an hour, I sent me two emails, which contained a mileage point guide. There are dozens of pages!

I read two pages and I was dizzy. Then there was nothing, and I gave up decisively. Hahaha, I say I'm a lazy person.

However, I have enjoyed good treatment in terms of mileage points. About ten years ago, I flew from Canada from China. Air China flights, and the round-trip mileage points are enough for a single domestic one-way ticket. The only thing I did was to apply for a membership card before boarding the plane and accumulate points.

With this experience of "get it for nothing", I will pay attention to whether this flight is in my aviation alliance every time I take a flight.

What the hell is the aviation alliance?

miles points are calculated based on the aviation alliance. For example, I joined SkyTeam, which includes 20 airlines including North America, Europe, China, Southeast Asia, etc. All airlines that take SkyTeam can earn miles. The list of airlines of

Tiantong Alliance is as follows:
