Follow the traveler in the world and see the world without leaving home.
There are two types of people in the world, people who like to make strategies and people who don’t like to make strategies. I belong to the third type, people who are fascinated by the love of making strategies.
In order to travel abroad, I sent out an unstoppable research on special air tickets, full of practical information, and I compiled it into an article to share with you.
How to buy special air tickets?
1. Avoid the peak hours of travel
The off-peak seasons of each region are different. Avoid the peak seasons, you can also choose to travel around the Golden Week.
2. Book in advance
. Domestic air tickets are best to book 1 to 2 months in advance, and international air tickets are best to book 3 to 6 months in advance.
3. The best tickets on Tuesday
. The price of booking air tickets on weekends is the highest, and the cheapest tickets in the middle are the cheapest, and the ticket prices on Tuesday are often the cheapest.
4. Comparison of prices (there will be a detailed introduction at the end of the article)
mainly has three types of ticket purchase websites:
(1) Low-cost airlines: Currently, low-cost airlines are mainly Southeast Asia, and many airlines exclusively sell special air tickets on their official websites.
(2) Search engine: Tianshang.com, Early Bird and other search websites.
(3) Travel APP: Qunar , Fliggy , Ctrip , Mafengwo Travel, Kuaishou, etc.
5. Group buying
0 Generally, airlines require 10 people to buy group purchases. If you contact some people who want to go to the same destination in advance or recruit online, you can directly order a group ticket when booking a flight and you can get the discount price for the charter flight.

European low-speed airline
Ryanair
Ryanair is the largest low-speed airline in Europe, with 209 cheap routes and 94 destinations in 17 European countries. Similar to the spring and autumn in China, the prices are so low that there is no bottom line.
[Note] One thing about Ruian pitfalls is that Ruian’s official website gives the statement that each person can bring two boarding luggage: 1 55cm×40×20 box and a 35×20×20 small bag. The total weight of the two luggage cannot exceed 10kg. Ryan will use various methods to fine them, which is their main source of income. If you want to make a decision, you must make a good guide in advance to avoid accidents.
[Fit for crowds] Traveling with less luggage (a normal size backpack), accepting early morning flights.

Travel APP
Flying pig
Currently, the price is relatively cheap, and Alibaba often does activities.

What I like about Qunar is that it will classify air tickets without looking for them in a bunch of air tickets. You can directly choose domestic, international, on-departure visas and other categories, and setting round trips is also very convenient.

Elong
I always feel that Elong’s air tickets are not very advantageous. There is no international special air ticket area. Only by entering the exact time point can you find the relevant flights. It is not bad to compare the price after confirming that the flight is used. Generally, I still like to use it to book a hotel.
Overall operation: ☆

written at the end
Sometimes we choose to change, not after careful consideration, but more like hearing the call from the world, calling you to go to another place and experience another kind of life. Perhaps, you may not necessarily have a better life from now on, but you are still grateful for the changes brought about by the world and the world. Buy a plane ticket for yourself and go see another starry sky and sea.
Follow the traveler in the world and see the world without leaving home.
