Something I found out recently is that round trip tickets don t always mean they are cheaper. In fac


If you have been following my blog, you might know that already I had a really great time in Southeast Asia last year as a backpacker. Backpacking is a really fun but also kinda challenging for people who don t have a lot of experiences. But I would say backpacking is a wonderful way for students (like myself) to explore the world on a really low budget. Yea, we might not have a whole lot money to travel, but we are young and able to accept challenges to make it all happen! In the following 6 weeks, I will be sharing my tips, advices and resources for backparkers to travel low-cost in Asia, and they are not just general tips!!!
I m going to start with how to book a CHEAP flight in this series, simply because I found air ticket aloha airline schedule alway takes up a majority of my budget. If you can save more money on this stage, it will make it much more easier and flexible for the rest of your trip.
I always start with  skyscanner as the first step to hunt for air tickets. It is a great searching engine aloha airline schedule to give you a decent idea of when and which airline got the best price for your desired destinations. You could simply go with the results, but if you want to take the advantages of more than a half dozen of budget airlines in Asia, it would be smart for you to know all your flight options. (Sometimes aloha airline schedule they have a limited time promotion/discounts that you have to buy the ticket through their websites. Just keep that in mind.)
(Note: China Airlines and Hong Kong Airlines are not really budget airlines, but often they do have very good deals and discounts on their websites. This means your food and check-in baggages are included with your ticket, while others are not necessary!)
This is always the golden rule of budget travelling. aloha airline schedule The more you are willing to fly dring an off-peak hours/period, the more likely you could get a cheaper ticket. Since $$$ is our bigger concern, why not go easy with your time of travel?
It is quite fascinating that flight is not the only option to get around Asia. If you re really on a tight budget, you might consider changing your destinations with flight and figure out an alternative way to get to the places you want to go. For example, Let s say you are in Singapore and you want to go to Penang in Malaysia, but you just couldn t afford a direct flight. What you can do is try to buy a ticket from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur (Kindly reminder: this route is often on sale, like the best deal I ve got is SGD20 through Jetstar!!) aloha airline schedule and simply take a bus from Kuala Lumpur to Penang (It s cheeeeep!). Sounds pretty easy right?
This is the most frequently asked question when my friends come to me and ask about which airline they should aloha airline schedule start looking for in order to get the cheapest airline. Honestly, it really depends. BUT I HAVE A TIP HERE FOR YOU TO NARROW DOWN YOUR CHOICES. First of all, we d need to review our budget airline options again.
We now have a pretty good sense of where each airline s headquarter locates, and they are actually the hints to save your time when hunting tickets. For example, we all want to go to Bangkok in Thailand, so where is my cheapest ticket? Well, the answer depends on your origin. Let s put in this way, if you are in Kuala Lumpur, Air Asia would be your best guess since most of their routes are based in Kuala Lumpur, so it is more likely you could get the best deal to start with Air Asia. But if you are in Singapore, Air Asia might not be your choice (even though aloha airline schedule they might also serve this particular route), and you would want to look into Tiger Airways aloha airline schedule or Jetstar Airways because they are the ones covering a lot of routes in your region. aloha airline schedule In other words, have an idea of which airline seems to be predominant in your origin is a hint for you to figure out the airline that works the best for you.
This one seems a bit out of place when we are talking about getting a cheap air ticket, but it is really not. When talking about budget aloha airline schedule airline options, I assume you would have a brief idea of what a budget aloha airline schedule airline experience looks like .Often time it refers to Low-cost carrier, which means an airline that generally has lower fares and fewer comforts. In order to make up the room for having a lower price as revenue lost in decreased ticket prices, the airline may charge for extras like food, priority boarding, seat allocating, and baggage etc, according to  its Wikipedia entry . Therefore, you should not really expect too much about their service, aka food and beverage on flight. Don t forget the rule, you pay what you get. But for poor students (just kidding), why not be a bit easier on the plane and save that money for later I m sure you d get better food with the same amount of money that you spend here.
Oh and also since we are backpackers, and the reason why we need to pack light is not only because we want to make our journey easier, but also the fact that budget airline would charge your backpack if it doesn t fit into your carry on item. It could be a nightmare to pay extra baggage charges yikes!
I know we all hate email ads, but sometimes it s the best way to be updated when those budget airlines announce sales/promotions/discounts. This has to be timely because often time the sales are limited time or limited ticket available with a particular price In order word, the best, cheapest flight ticket is always on the rule of first come first serve. The earlier you know about the deal, you great chance you would get it!
Something I found out recently is that round trip tickets aloha airline schedule don t always mean they are cheaper. In fact, it is okay to buy one-way ticket because sometimes return flight tickets is simply adding up two one-way tickets. However, this is often the case for flights within Southeast Asia only, such as Air Asia, Tiger Airways aloha airline schedule and Jetstar. It is because I  notice that for those Taiwan-Hong Kong routes, it would still be better to do it as a return option simply because the one-way ticket is still much more expensive through aloha airline schedule China Airline, Hong Kong Airline, etc. (I hope this would change in the future because I love the way that you would have much more freedom and flexible aloha airline schedule with one way ticket!)
