Cheap Airline Tickets To Philippines

Which site to buy cheap airline tickets to the Philippines? Airfares vary every season, every week, every day, even at the time of day you fly. Peak seasons such as Christmas or mid-summer are usually expensive to fly, airfares can double and you’d end up paying much more than if you travel at any other times of year.

One strategy that most travelers do is to book flights early. For international trips, it is recommended to reserve your tickets 6 months (even a year) before your intended trip. When you browse for airfares online, try to change your day of departure. Sometimes, a single day can make a difference in your airfare cost. I have read somewhere that the best day to purchase a ticket online is Wednesday. I am not sure if this is true.

There are a lot of websites offering cheap airline tickets (domestic or international). When I travel domestically within the U.S., I always take advantage of my being a PhD student and purchase my ticket at Student Universe. The site offers big discounts after confirmation of your student status. However, the availability of the tickets are so limited. StudentUniverse.com doesn’t have available flights to foreign countries most of the time. When I searched, for instance, a flight that goes to the Philippines, I always get a note of “does not have any student seats available”.

For the constant travellers, try these sites:

Kayak.com – probably is one site that you can get best airfare deals.

Farecast.live.com – I stumbled upon this site in a forum.

Based on my experience, I find Kayak.com a great site for finding affordable airfares. Leave me a comment of you know of more sites with the best air ticket deals.
