Summary:WHEN to buy your ticket
Contributor:Sandra Jacobs
Savings:Hundreds
Description:How do you know when is the best time to purchase your airline ticket to receive the very best fare possible? Because timing is everything the following websites can help you out with this
:
Farecast at http://www.farecast.com/msn/flexibleTravel.do lets you know how prices have changes over the past 30 - 90 days from over 75 different airports. Farecast also predicts whether fares will change.

Expedia's Travel Tools page helps you know when seats are becoming limited on certain flights and therefore lets you know it's probably time to think about purchasing if you want a seat at the lowest possible price. This travel tool is at: http://www.expedia.com/daily/tools/default.asp?tiid=Flights&msncid=20052-1.wd.deals.air_tools.inf&eapid=20052-1

Finally, after you book, periodically check fares to see if the price for your trip has changed dramatically. If it's fallen, you might be able to obtain a refund or travel credit for the difference. http://www.yapta.com offers a free tool that tracks your trips and alerts you if the price has dropped. And if the cost of your ticket rises, you can feel confident about having locked in a lower fare.




Downside:Can be time consuming
