Five Ways to Get Lowest Airfare PossibleThe easiest way to break traveling budget is with your flight. It’s hard to find lowest airfare out there these days, especially with myriad of companies trying to tell you that THEY have lowest airfare prices, or know where to find them. Lucky for you, there are several ways to take a bite out of cost of flying. Here are some tips and techniques to make sure you are getting lowest possible airfare. Please note that advice given here is just that: advice. Companies mentioned are not better, or worse, than any other organization out there that claims to offer lowest airfare possible. Lowest Airfare Technique #1: Courier It Without a courier, many important packages that are working their way through flight system would be stuck in customs an awfully long time. Therefore, courier companies “hire” people to transport their packages for them in a set. All that you have to do is forfeit your baggage space, and you can receive some of lowest airfare prices available. There isn’t actually a “payment” that is exchanged here; you are providing a service, but in return you are only getting lowest airfare that company can afford. Also, scheduling can be a bit of a pain in butt – you may have a quick stopover in one place you wanted to visit, and days in another that really doesn’t interest you. Plus, can you imagine flying to Paris with only your overnighter bag? Those with light luggage and really flexible schedules may love this option, though.
