Cheap Airfare Wars - Internet vs Travel Agencies
>>> Previous | Continuation below
7. Completely different travel dates
Maybe if you change your travels to a week earlier or later, you will switch to a different airfare season - on international tickets this could save you as much as $300 or more per ticket. Most of the internet services will not tell you 'hey, if you change your dates by a week (or two) you can save $300'. You'll need to instead experiment with completely different travel dates to try and see if you can detect a change in season.

Oh - one other thing. Different airlines often have slightly different seasons - perhaps only a day or two different, but perhaps two weeks different! So you need to do the entire 'every different airline' exercise to check for seasonality as well!
8. Different Airports
We all know that, eg, there are three major (and several more not so major) airports that serve New York ; many other cities also have multiple airports serving them. Some of the better internet sites will even search some of these other airports as well as the one you specify. But can you be sure that, perhaps, White Plains was also considered as one of the nearby airports?
And, if you're looking at travel to or from Los Angeles , remember that some airlines fly to some airports and not to others - for example, Jet Blue flies to Long Beach airport.
You can sometimes save big money by changing airports - any or all of the four or more airports you'll fly in and out of in a typical return trip ticket. But you'll also have to make sure that the fare you're looking at permits 'open jaws' or considers the different airports you are using to be commonly located.

9. Different routing
It is quite common that nonstop flights will be more expensive than direct flights, which in turn can sometimes also be more expensive than flights with a change of service on the way (not to be confused with 'change of gauge'!).
And often you might find that service through a less popular hub is cheaper than service through a major hub. How are you going to check out all the different routings and route specific fare options on the internet?
10. Different sequence of stops if multiple stop itinerary
If your travels are taking you to more than one destination, perhaps you can get a cheaper fare by traveling to these destinations in a different order. If it doesn't really matter to you whether you go to Detroit or Chicago first, just so long as you go to both cities, then you should check every possible variation in itineraries. (Note that many web sites can't price multiple stop itineraries!)
