One of the biggest hurdles people have when they want to travel is the high cost of airfare. There are many countries in the world that are cheap to travel in, but getting there can get expensive. If you could slash the cost of airfare by 50% or even 80% you would be able to travel a lot more often.
There is a very simple yet highly effective way to find the cheapest flights available to just about anywhere in the world. I frequently use this method to save thousands of dollars on airfare.
For example, recently I wanted to take my family from Lima, Peru to Las Vegas, Nevada. Through normal channels each ticket was priced at $1,000 to $2,500 at the time (so it would cost $4,000 to $10,000 just in round trip tickets for the four of us).
I noticed that most of the flights to Las Vegas stopped in Miami, Florida with connecting flights to Las Vegas. So searching a special software system I looked for round trip tickets to Miami from Lima and found tickets for only $306. Then I searched for round trip tickets from Miami to Las Vegas and found prices for only $227. That’s a savings of at least $467 for each person. Since I was buying four tickets, the total savings was at least $1,868 and up to a savings of $7,868! Not only did we save a lot of money and go to Las Vegas, but we also visited Miami as an extra bonus.
The software I use is what many travel agents use but don’t want you to know about. Why? Because by using this software in most cases you can cut out the middle-man (the travel agent, avoid paying a commission, and find and purchase your tickets by yourself for huge savings.
The software I use to save thousands of dollars on airfare is called ITA Software, and it’s free. ITA Software searches several airlines to find you the best possible price, it also offers a lot more search options than the popular airfare search systems. Instead of doing a search for specific days, you can do a search for the entire month to find the cheapest days to fly.
This month-long search feature means tremendous savings for you. No longer will you be confined to search specific dates, or have to ask travel agents to do the search for you (and pay commissions). Instead, you’ll be able to search every-single day of the year if you’d like, to find the absolute cheapest flights available to your destination.
So before you purchase a plane ticket be sure to first check out ITA Software: http://matrix.itasoftware.com
