Is your airfare the most expensive part of your vacation? Are you tired of buying expensive ticket from travel agencies? If your answer is yes, here are some money saving tips on how to book cheap flights.
1.Go incognito
Flight prices increase when a particular route is repeatedly searched. To prevent this, go on incognito mode or private browsing code to see the lowest prices.
2.Use Flight Search Engines
Go to skyscanner.com or kayak.com. These websites will show you the cheapest fares available. Create a skyscanner.com and a kayak.com account to receive seat sale alerts.
Download the skyscanner app on your mobile phone or go to their website.
Put “Everywhere” in the destination box and “cheapest month” in the Depart and Return box.
Skyscanner will show you the cheapest flights available.
Pro Tip: Don’t chase the destination, chase the fare!
After choosing the destination. Choose your travel dates.
Now that you know the cheapest travel dates available, you can pay it using your credit card or debit card. Then, wait for the booking confirmation and travel itinerary in your e-mail address.
If you want to pay in cash, most airlines in the Philippines offer over the counter cash payments.
3.How to pay over the counter
Do step 1 and 2.
After doing step 1 and step 2 and you have searched for the cheapest plane tickets, go to the Airline’s website.
Select the destination and travel dates.
Enter your travel details.
Pay the plane ticket at any payment centers available. The fare must be paid within 24 hours,if not paid, the booking will be cancelled. Once paid, the airline will send you the booking confirmation and travel itinerary in your e-mail address.

Don’t chase the destination, chase the fare! , I simply loved this line and the concept of selecting a destination to everywhere, I think that is a super great tip
Lots of great information, I love a bargain. Thanks for sharing.
Great tips. Always good to know ways to save money, especially on flights
I too go through a lot of research while booking because of course you aren’t always traveling luxury! This one’s a really nice trick.
I love travelling and this is great information for being able to do it in an affordable way! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Love the incognito tip! I will have to do that next time!
This is a very useful hack before. Sadly, I don’t think this hack will work not in the near future. Travel will be expensive just like 20years ago.
Although I use skyscanner but I had no prior knowledge of this. I’ll try it once when lockdown is lifted.
cebu pac also notifies me ahead of time if they will be having promos. patience and good strategies are the key to booking cheap flights. haha tested and proven! i usually have chrome, firefox and my mobile open when I do bookings.
Cool. However, have you heard of Google Flights? That’s where I look for uber cheap flights.
Thank you for these wonderful tips on how to book cheap flights. I have to remember these tips the next time I want to fly!
Awesome tips, I will apply them the next I will book a flight with CebuPac.
Great tips. Really I was not much cared those things previously. Thank you for the new ideas
That is exactly the process I follow, except for paying over the counter. I never thought that could be an advantage.
Just bookmarked this one..really informative. Thanks!!
This is really a great advantage for those who wants to travel. Will save this for my references. It will help me in the future.
