Flying has never been better. Airlines are competing hard for your business, and their falling prices prove it. Now is the perfect time to take that trip to Asia you’ve always dreamed about. Read on to discover how to find the very best deal for your money!

          Being flexible is the key to saving a lot of money. You would be surprised how much difference it can make to move your flight even a day or two! Airlines, just like highways, have ‘peak’ travel times, and you will pay more to fly during these days. However, choosing a flight that leaves on a typically ‘slower’ day of the week, such as mid-week flights, can save you hundreds of dollars off your ticket price.

          This also applies to the departure times of your flights. You can save money by flying either very early or very late in the day, and you’ll find shorter lines at the ticket counters and security check points as well! Overnight flights are especially desirable for overseas travel, since you will often be able to sleep during the flight and reduce your jet lag during your trip. Rather than spending a day or two acclimating to the new time zone, you can get right out and enjoy Asia—talk about getting more for your money!

          Finally, skip the travel agent. No matter how low an agent’s commission is, it is still extra money that you don’t have to spend. Save it for your Asian vacation!
