Not every time we would be able to plan our vacation in advance. Often, we are left with no choice, but to make a last-minute travel plan. The most difficult part of a sudden vacation plan is booking a flight at a reasonable cost. Here are some important tips that will save you from the frustration and the extra money while booking your flight in such scenarios

Search for flights in private browsing mode
This may seem odd, but this is true that if you keep on searching the same route, flight prices will increase because they will want to persuade you to buy the tickets as soon as possible, anticipating a continuous surge in flight price. That is a part of their marketing strategy; don’t fall a prey to this gimmick. Always search for your last minute cheap flights incognito.

Know the best flight search engines
To book your flight at the last minute, you need to know some websites, which will show the perfect deals as per your needs. Here is a list of few popular and consistent flight search engines:

• Skyscanner
• Momondo
• Google Flights
• Cheapoair
• TripAdvisor

But no search engine always provides the perfect results. Hence, to make the best out of it, make time to search in most or all of them.

Choose the best day for your flight
Whenever you go to a particular website to book a flight, you will always be shown different rates that are applicable on different dates. Choose the date that will be appropriate for you, which also has a low price. In this way, you will get the best last minute airfare deals.

Find the cheapest airport to land
If there are more than one airports in and around your destination, then check the airfare for both of them. You never know, there may be a price difference between the tickets for each of the airports. In the case of a difference, obviously, choose the airport with cheaper airfare, provided you do not face any problem landing there.

Check round-trip fares even if you don’t require them
It may again sound crazy, but sometimes in the rarest of cases, a one-way ticket is much costlier than a round-trip ticket for the same journey. It is almost impossible to hear, but it really happens. And if you are lucky enough, you will find one such deal for yourself.

Find the perfect discount voucher
Some websites provide coupons before payment, which will give you an additional discount. You just need to find such websites. One such website famous for its discount coupons is Cheapoair. There are also websites that provide student discounts for travelers under 26 years. Staying aware is the key.

Choose a longer layover
People generally choose to avoid longer layovers. But they are the ones, which have cheaper flight rates. So choose such an option for a remarkable reduction in fare.
