Best Tips for Booking Airlines Flight Tickets

Due to Fare war among all the airlines, Airfares are lower than ever these days, but you still have to be savvy to get the best deal. 

In addition to the basics—here are some secrets to winning the increasingly opaque airfare game.

Tip No 01#.  Search at the Right Time   
www.farehawker.com
Try searching for airfares after midnight; that's when many airlines update their inventories with the discounted fares & every day offers. If you're only seeking last-minute Web fares, look on airline sites, major booking sites, and aggregator sites (search engines that configure all best on-line suppliers, consolidators, and booking sites) between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning for tickets for the coming weekend. Such fares usually require that you leave on a Saturday and return on Monday or Tuesday, but some airlines offer Friday departures and Sunday returns.
 Tip No 02#. Check a Wide Range of  Travel Dates
Online Travel Portal like makemytrip.com, cleartrip.com, expedia, & yatra.com have the most flexible search functions and the major booking sites too. FareHawker will allow you to search for the lowest round-trip or one-way domestic or international fare within a range of months, which it shows as fare outlook on a calendar. Even if you are just using FareHawker's calendar for research, click all the way through an available date; the site frequently shows dates as available. FareHawker will let you search for the lowest price over a weekend you designate; search up to three days before and after your dates; or look for the lowest published fare within a 30-day period. The site recently extended its flexible search option to include international flights, though at press time, it still indicated that the destination airport if you are going to stay in hotel or resort than for saving some more money from your pocket you may choose Flight +Hotel  option for booking
Tip No 03#. Book Cheapest Flight Tickets Early—and On-line
Since airlines allocate only a small percentage of their seats for award travel, it's smart to book months in advance. Just to be safe, book 300 days in advance—when most airlines load award fares. Also, reserve those seats on-line which airlines offer in free. If you do get lucky and are able to reserve an award seat only a week or two before you travel, unfortunately you could get slapped with a high "expediting fee." 
Tip No 04#. Use Fare Comparision Aggregator Sites like - FareHawker.com
Once you've figured out which dates will yield you the best fares, search one of the Web's "meta" travel agents. like wego, sky scanner, FareHawker  ixigo.com searches. which at press time was still being tested, searches hundreds of sites and allows you to sort airfare results by departure or arrival time. FareHawker  is a good source for deals from small charter companies and discount airline agencies, as well as major carriers. Cheap flights lets you search flexible dates and, like ixigo.com, offers a calendar with a range of available dates. Here, too, you should click through the available dates to ensure that the fare you want isn't sold out. Aggregator sites don't charge fees themselves, but they might direct you to a site that does.
Tip No 05#. Try to Book Flight Tickets Through Airline's Web Site
If you've found the same low fare on an on-line booking agent like xyz.com and an airline's own Web site, it makes more sense to reserve on the latter to avoid paying the extra or so service fee booking sites now charge. By booking on an airline's site, you'll also avoid the service fees the airlines themselves have begun to charge for booking at ticket offices and airport counters.
