5 Tips For Budget Airfare

Here are five tips for tweaking your ticket searches to find the best airfare for you.

ClubVirginIslands.com is a travel site catering to people wanting to travel the Caribbean. We have available offers from various travel partners in order to offer a wide variety of deals for our customers. We understand that budget travel is very important so we've put together five top tips for finding a great fare.
1. Shop around
Be sure to visit several sites and price compare. Club Virgin Islands has assembled some of the top travel sites in one location so you don't have to travel far to find the top deals.
2. Be flexible in your travel dates (if you can)
If you are flexible in your travel dates, you stand a better chance of finding the best prices. Sometimes a single day can make a big difference in price. Try changing the dates of your trip if you are flexible and see what prices come back.
3. Try different times of day
You might find different prices at different times of day. Try mornings or afternoons. See what offers are returned. You might find a gr
eat deal if you try.
4. Day of the week
It has been said that mid-week are the best days for finding cheap fares. Try it. I’ve had better luck buying tickets which depart on Wednesday and Thursdays. Although not scientific, it seemed to hold up to practical use.
5. Be persistent
Keep trying to find the best fare without losing sight of the ultimate goal - getting where you want to go. Fares can change overnight, so being persistent can payoff but can also swing the other way. I wouldn’t suggest being so determined in finding an ideal fare that you shop until rates increase because of the proximity to the departure date. Just use your common sense and based on comparison shopping, you should know a good fare when you find it.
By applying the tips above, you stand a better chance of finding the right tickets at the right price.
