Cheap Flight Tips

Stumbled upon this website while searching for a flight from Manchester to Malta.  All the prices I was getting quoted because it was a last minute flight and over the Christmas/New Year holiday season were in excess of £350.  This was way too much so I searched the web trying to find a solution on how to get Malta for cheap.  I even looked at EasyJet and that too worked out expensive.  In the end this website found the flights for £270 all inclusive.  It broke the flight up to flying out on EasyJet and back on Brussels National Airline.

The transaction went through smoothly and they even texted me on my mobile the flight confirmation number.  No other site I have used does that and this makes it very handy as you take your mobile phone everywhere including the airport to collect the ticket.

Worth checking out TerminalA yourself should you be looking for a cheap way to fly somewhere.  Just visit TerminalA.com.

Kayak.com compares the cheapest flights possible from 100’s of sites including the airlines own website. What I personally like about Kayak is that it will look into all possible alternates in getting you to your destination flying you with one airline and back with another which results in flights being sometimes 60-70%cheaper than many other websites.

Thumbs up for this great little portal and flight finding and it is worth checking out for yourself by visiting kayak.com

The Priority Pass which gives you access to airport lounges is well worth taking advantage of if you fly more than four times a year. The money saved by used the airport lounge for complimentary drinks, food and sometimes internet access is invaluable. I worked out when I am waiting in an airport for a connecting flight for say 3 hours or more I tend to spend on average £30 on just entertaining myself. Be it buying a drink, food or just connecting to the internet on rates of £10 and higher per hour.

The Priority Pass is the best way to overcome this and the rates for the pass although a little high pricey in the log run will put you in profit and give you the luxury of exclusive VIP lounge access. Previously I was weary of purchasing a Priority Pass as the lounges covered were good but not extensive enough for the places I travel to. Now in nearly very airport which has VIP lounges accept Priority Pass as the card of choice so this is no longer an issue. Priority Pass promotes stress free travel and in my experience it is well worth it and adds an extra dimension and experience to your travels.

The price of Priority Pass starts at £69 up to the maximum of £256 for a pass with unlimited lounge access. However I suggest taking the Standard Plus membership which is £159 a year and gives 10 visits to the lounge, followed by £15 a visit to the lounge after. The £69 means you will need to pay £15 every time you wish to visit the lounge (good if you do less than seven visits a year).
