Cheap Domestic Air Fares

While not as glamorous as international travel, domestic air travel is something that most of us do at one time or another. Of course when we do travel most of us are on the look out for cheap domestic air fares. While it's not the easiest thing to do finding food travel deals is possible if you know where to look and how to go about it. Many times it might feel like your playing the lottery but chances are you can win the air far one more than the real one.

The first thing you need to do when trying to score a discount airline ticket is to be flexible with your travels dates. Check prices for several different departure and return dates. You can often get a good price on tickets if you can find those days which are slower in terms of passengers for many airlines. The airlines view it simply as putting people in seats because every seat not filled is less money for them. Try to be as flexible as possible with your schedule, even to the point of changing your ideal fly out date and you may be pleasantly surprised at how much money you can save.

The second thing you can do to find cheap domestic air fares is to make sure and book your flight as far in advance as possible. If you've ever priced airline tickets over several days you may have noticed that as you get closer to the flight date the prices keep going up. If you can book at least four months in advance as opposed to several weeks you will save several hundred dollars. There are plenty of early bird specials for those who plan their travel out far enough in advance, making low cast travel entirely possible.

Most of these first two tactics can be done online. If you make the effort to actually call the airline ticketing people you may be able to save money as well. Talking to service representatives is a good way to find those unadvertised specials that nobody knows about. You can also ask if joining the airlines frequent flier program will have the added benefit of a one time discount. Many airlines do this to entice new members to their programs. The other thing to remember is that by talking to someone at the reservations center you are talking to a real live person. A little haggling may be in order because many service representatives are more then willing to do whatever it takes to keep your business.

So if you are looking for cheap domestic air fares then using one of or a combination of the above suggestions are good way to find good travel savings.

Spirit Airlines Takes the Lead Yet Again

These seats are referred to as "pre-reclined" seats because they lean back three inches and are already on two of Spirit's Airbus A320 jets.  Two more jets will install these seats before the end of this year. The new seats weigh less which means jets will consume less fuel, which Spirit points out is better for the environment and a way for Spirit to keep its costs low.  They maintain that their plan is to pass that savings on to its customers by offering "even lower fares."

Spirit also claims that seats that do not move are less invasive for passengers sitting behind them.  Most economy seats these days are positioned so close to the ones behind them that when a passenger lowers his seat the person behind him feels as if this passenger is now in his lap. Whether other airlines follow Spirit's lead remains to be seen.  However, remember that Spirit was the first U.S. airline to charge for checked luggage, a policy now practiced throughout the airline industry.

Some fear that non reclining seats will ultimately result in airlines adding rows of seats to planes, making seating even more uncomfortable in the future.  The distance from the back of a set to the front of another for most seats on Spirit's Airbus A320'2 is 28 inches, which is a new low for a domestic airline. According to Airbus its A320 plane usually seats 150 passengers.  Spirit has 178 seats on the same plane using non reclining seats.  Wonder if Spirit management is figuring out how many passengers could fly is everyone stood on this plane?
