Fareboom Money Saving Tips
By Fareboom Staff, Thu, Dec 5, 2013
Today we are going to show you some tips on how to save money on your International flights using Fareboom’s powerful search features.
The first money saving tip that most experienced travelers use is radius search. Say you are planning a trip to Italy, but you are limited by time and money and you want to see as much as you can of the country. Looking at Italy’s options you have the centrally located romantic town of Florence. To the north there is the international fashion capital Milan and to the south there is the magnificent Rome filled with history, art and culture. The cost of flying into these nearby airports can vary by hundreds. At times, there are special fares available for certain cities such as Florence. So how can you pick the best destination that offers the most sights for your money? Let’s see what the radius search feature can find us by selecting Florence as our destination and then set the radius search to the maximum of 175 miles.
Here’s where we uncover the second money saving tip by adding date flexibility to your trip. Most people want to fly out on Fridays and Saturdays so fares are typically higher during those days. Let’s set our departure for Friday but add 3 day flexibility. This way we cover an entire week to find the best deal. (do the same thing on the return)
Now let the Real Deal finder do its work.
Now the travel planning fun begins. We can start in the world’s fashion capital Milan for the biggest savings, or we can pay a bit more to begin our travels in ancient Rome. You now have the option to add in an extra city to your trip and still save money on your flight.
We’ve made selecting the best flight from hundreds of options across different cities and different travel dates easy with the Best Value tab. The Best Value technology replaces the most experienced travel agent in helping you pick the best flight for your money. It considers trip duration, layovers and overnight stays, airport changes, airline quality, luggage allowance and more in order to provide you with the best choices for your money. When combined with Radius search and flex days options Best Value gives you even more control by considering the cost of driving to alternate airports and preferring your centrally selected travel dates.
Using these savings tips combined with the Best Value technology you are able to see more cities for less.
