How to Find Discount International Airfare
- 1). Take the traditional everyday approach and search Priceline first. Priceline is where you are able to bid on the ticket you want and the lowest absolute price you are willing to pay. From there the airline can either except or reject your bid. Take a chance to also check out EBay. Many times there is discount international airfare near your arrival and departure destination that are up for auction and many times there are companies who have blocks of tickets to and from your particular travel spot that they no longer need. Bid on these tickets or even do the "buy now" option to get the tickets you want cheaply.
- 2). If the above doesn't work, be an Air Courier. Air couriers deliver packages for clients around the world. Companies who have time sensitive or extremely fragile items rely on people to deliver their packages. More often than not they don't necessarily trust UPS or Fedex with their time sensitive or fragile packages. You can travel around the globe at deeply discounted prices an example that I found on the net was a trip from Washington DC to Hong Kong for under $400 dollars. That is an unbeatable price.
- 3). If being an air courier isn't your cup of tea, go on Standby. If you have some flexibility and would like to find discount international airfare, contact an airline and offer to go standby. Standby is used when a passenger doesn't show up or wants to change a flight, you are able to fly instead. When those particular passengers don't show up, airlines contact you and allow you to fly at bargain basement discounted prices.
