When to buy flight tickets?

One of the most crucial part about buying a flight ticket is the timing of it as you all might know the earlier you buy a ticket the cheaper it gets and helps the whole concept of budget-friendly traveling. So as soon as you decided which dates to set your travels on, try to be as quick as possible with getting over the payment process of those tickets otherwise the prices may change even on a daily basis.

How the seasons will affect your budget and experience?

Depending on the country and it’s location the ticket prices will also vary according to which season you wanna travel during the time of the year, most popular seasons being summer & winter.

For example countries with popular coasts such as Croatia, Greece and so on are preferred during the summer season, meanwhile northern countries such as Finland, Norway and so on are preferred during the winter season.

Of course there are no certain rules which tells you that you cannot travel to these countries out of their season, actually that will get you even cheaper prices if you aim to travel during off-seasons but because usually the activities & events in those areas are better to experience during their popular seasons I would recommend to visit them in the season they fit right with if you wanna make the most of your trips.

How to find the best prices for flight tickets?

Once the dates are planned, the next step is to check for the best prices you can get.

I prefer using skyscanner to search for cheap flight tickets which gives you all the options with available Airlines, dates, times, direct or non-direct flights. If you really want to push the limits of your budget-friendly traveling plan you can also try to chase those flights with 1 or 2 stops but I personally prefer searching for direct flights only because of the fact that the non-direct flights consume a lot of your energy and you end up exhausted in your final destination which is not worth in my opinion if you end up resting the whole day you arrive. Although all options are available on the site to check and find which flight plan suits best for your wallet & travel plan.

The first step is done, now move on to finding an accommodation as your next step!
