Hint: The day of the week you travel can make a big difference. Traveling on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday, is much cheaper than traveling on Sunday, Monday or Friday, when most people want to fly.
Hint #2: Not all airlines are on the web search sites. Discount airlines like Southwest, Virgin Atlantic, and Aerlingus don't pay to have their sites put on the search engines. Do a Google search like "discount airlines _________ (name of city" such as discount airline Hong Kong.
Hint #3- The best price may not be online. Travel agencies that specialize in the region of the world you want to go to may have access to discount tickets and hotel deals. Search online and then call a travel agency and see which price is better.
Hint # 4- Prices change all of the time. If you see a price you want, it may not be there tomorrow.
Hint # 5- Select a flight or hotel and go far enough to see what the taxes and fees are so you can compare prices. Some sites list the total price on the top page but others make you choose the flight/hotel/car/cruise before they show you the total cost.
