The Scoop on
Cheap Air Travel

Cheap air travel? So who isn't looking for a bargain these days?

You can safely assume that the biggest single expense you'll have to fork out for before leaving on your backpacking trip around the world will be your plane ticket — especially if it's a long-haul international one.

And realistically, that probably won't change.

But if your itinerary is reasonably flexible and you're willing to put in a bit of time and effort, there are lots of unbelievably cheap airfares out there for anyone who can find them.

You just need to know how and where to look!

Round the World Tickets

Okay, let's cut right to the chase.

One of the best ways to save a bundle on your travels is to buy a round the world ticket (often written simply as RTW ticket).

Round the world flights do pretty much exactly what they say on the box. They fly you around the world (usually from Point A back to Point A) with various stops en route.

With just a little bit of determination and planning you can get some really incredible round the world ticket fares.

If prices like these sound like your kind of cheap air travel, a round the world flight might be your thing.

Go to the RTW page for the whole lowdown on round the world tickets.

When Opportunity Knocks

Even in the high season you can find discounts on round the world tickets, cheap international flights, cheap one way flights, charter flights, last minute airline tickets and bargain flights on low cost airlines.

You might even get lucky and find a dirt cheap flight that fits exactly into your around the world travel plans.

But I wouldn't bank on it.

To get the absolute cheapest airfares you need to be prepared to work your itinerary around what's on offer.

Planned to leave in July or August but September departures are a lot cheaper?

Wanted to go to Copenhagen but flights to Aarhus are less than half the price?

Hoped to fly direct with Cathay but Air Asia has a seat sale on via Kuala Lumpur?

You get the idea. The more you can play around with dates, times, destinations, stopovers and airlines the more chances you have of scoring the cheapest travel deals.

But how do you uncover all those great bargains in the first place?

Believe it or not, digging up cheap air travel is easier than you might think. Read on to see how you can save some seriously big bucks . . .
