Money saving has become an art and some people are really good at it while others struggle to maintain the discipline that it requires to save their pennies, the rest of us just seek advice on cheap options so allow me to help. Holidays can be really expensive at times and because you're in a different country you may be exploited, so the best thing you can do is make sure getting there doesn't cost too much. The answer is cheap flights.

There is no trick to getting hold of cheap flights although it can come down to plain old luck at times, but the best way to get it right is all a case of timing. The best times to get your tickets will be either as soon as they come on sale which can be some 11 months before the plane hits the skies, or getting your tickets last minute.

Early tickets mean that you will be able to choose from a number of priced seats on the plane because not many have been sold so you can choose the cheapest ones available. On the other hand waiting till the last minute could see you getting your tickets cheaper still because the flight isn't full and the company selling them will want to fill all seats meaning the tickets could be put down to a bargain price. Those two ways offer the best logic to pick up some really cheap flights; although booking earlier is a bit more of a guarantee whereas doing it last minute might not work out for you.

Many people have their own theories on what gets you the best value and indeed real bargains on holiday prices, but the timing of your booking definitely has an effect on what price you'll be paying and ultimately decides if you will be getting hold of cheap flights.
