Travel on week days: Most people would like to start their holiday on a Friday or Saturday. If you travel during the week you save money, because these flights are less popular they are therefore cheaper. The cheapest flights are normally on Mondays. Rise early: To depart comfortably in the morning and arrive relaxed in the afternoon? Sounds terrific, but is costly. If the less used early flights are booked you can fly cheaper. Avoid travelling at high season: At high season, flights and journeys are more expensive. If you have kids that go to school to travel during school holidays. Even then you can save: Plan your holidays toward the end of the school holidays, normally the prices are lower during that time.
The price for a flight can vary extensively, depending on when you book it. If you book in time it is possible to obtain the early booking price advantages of the airlines and save money that way. Often the airlines realise that a few weeks or days before departure they cannot fill the aircraft to capacity. Now they reduce their prices, thus if you book last minute, with some luck, you may also obtain cheap flights.
It pays to look at close by airports for departure. There you might find considerably cheaper flight or fixed rate offers. Many service providers and airlines have a rail & fly ticket for approximately 29 Euros for the bus and or train transfer within Germany. Some of them even provide this free of charge. Berlin, Erfurt, Dresden and Munich are the cheapest at present.
The special offers you find in the internet are only possible because you implement the service by yourself. Any additional services, like passenger name-changes or booking changes cost money, your money since our service team is tied up with working to undertake the necessary changes. Determine your travel dates and accompanying passengers prior to booking, make sure they are correct and only implement your booking when you are sure.
Your acquaintance / college /neighbour / brother in law only paid one Euro for his flight? Do not believe him. The price of a flight ticket consists of different parts; this also makes low cost flights a little more expensive. These are the components of your flight charges: -Airfare
The actual price of the flight as charged by the airline. -Taxes and surcharges or simply additional costs.
Costs which are obtained for third parties, like airport providers (airport charges) or the government (tax) from passengers. -Fuel surcharges
The fuel surcharge is used by the airlines to defer any rise in fuel costs onto the passenger. -Service charge
The costs of the service pertaining to the ticket (issuing and delivery). -Credit card costs
Most low cost carriers like Ryanair or Easyjet charge separately for using a credit card for bookings. -Luggage charges
Some low cost carriers charge for the check-in of baggage, which does not fit into the hand luggage, fees from the first luggage piece. (e.g. Ryanair or Germanwings). Note: From 1.11.2008 a new EU guide line has been implemented which states it is compulsory that all posters, adverts and the internet have to show all costs including taxes, surcharges and additional costs. None the less there will probably still be airlines in the future which advertise with a low price in bold and hide the additional costs in small print somewhere on the page. If you implement your booking on our website you will see the final end price for your flight, no hidden costs or surcharges. That is and has always been our way of doing business.
