3.1. Finding the Best Flight Deals
Securing a favourable airfare allows you to dedicate more of your budget to enhancing your overall travel experience. Review the following suggestions to help you find the best value:
Book in advance: Early reservations often result in lower fares. Consider booking 3 - 4 weeks or even 3 - 6 months ahead will give you better flexibility in choosing preferred travel dates and seating options.
