Some airlines may charge you a close-in booking fee of up to $75 if you purchase your tickets within 21 days of the time you plan to travel even you are using reward points from a frequent flyer miles program. Some airlines that don't charge a close-in fee are Alaska Airlines,<br> Delta,<br> JetBlue,<br> and Southwest Airlines. And if you're looking to travel abroad,<br> airlines such as Aeromexico and Singapore Airlines don't charge the fee either.\n\nhttps:\/\/millionmilesecrets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Updated_United_Airlines_Trick_To_Save_75_On_Close_In_Ticketing_Fees_Still_Works_03.jpg\n\n(2) Research ticket prices on more than one site. Airlines typically like to exclude good deals from third-party travel sites. To alleviate this,<br> try using www.momondo.com for your next booking. They compare rates from both airlines and third-party sites like Priceline and Expedia. \n\nhttps:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jetsettimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/url-124.jpeg?resize=300%2C165&ssl=1\n\nIf your travel dates are flexible,<br> you might be open to another option in which airlines discount night flights that either depart late and\/or arrive early. If you do select these types of flights,<br> be mindful of layover times. And don't forget to check nearby airports for cheaper flights with one connection.\n\nhttps:\/\/www.travelertips.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/night-flight-300x180.jpg\n\n(3) Travel mid-week. If your travel plans allow,<br> try to book a flight in the middle of the week for even more savings. Plus some airlines may offer last minute deals in which they discount unfilled seats to less popular destinations.\n\nhttps:\/\/petergreenberg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/empty-boeing-seats.jpg\n\n(4) Be open to the unexpected. The best last minute savings can be found during off-seasons or if you don't have a specific travel destination. \n\nhttps:\/\/touristmeetstraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cheap-Travel-Off-Season-Destination-Travel-Guide-2015-2016-feature.jpg\n\nThird-party sites often have newsletters with special deals of the week for unexpected locations. Plus,<br> you can book through www.costcotravel.com and not only receive 2% cash back on your purchase but also a Costco gift card.\n\nhttps:\/\/www.costco.com\/wcsstore\/CostcoUSBCCatalogAssetStore\/category-tiles\/costco-travel.jpg\n\nWhat are some tips you use to save money on airline tickets?
