3. How to save money when buying tickets

Since this allows your computer to go into incognito mode, the combination of Ctrl + Shift + N can help you find cheaper tickets. This way, airline websites cannot track your search history and will not try to sell you tickets at a higher price to make you feel like the cost of the flight is increasing by the minute. Another clever method on airline websites is to buy tickets in the language of the destination country. It may be a little more difficult, but for some reason the cost increases a little when you use the website in your local language. Another important rule that frequent travelers generally follow is that they book tickets on Tuesdays after 3 p.m. It is also a good idea to book them 6 weeks before the trip. Friday nights and Monday mornings are the busiest times, so the most expensive tickets are sold at these times. Buying tickets with a transfer in a city where you have to stop can often be significantly cheaper than a regular direct connection. For example, if you are returning to Europe from the US via Helsinki, Stockholm will be the final destination of your tickets. However, a direct flight from the US to Finland may be more expensive than a ticket that includes an additional flight to Stockholm.
