Book Early

Airline prices especially, tend to go up in the last few days before flying and during peak periods, so if you want to get the best travel price and save some money, it’s best to make your travel bookings earlier on. For international travels, it is also best to make your bookings much earlier.

Check Around

Avoid using only one airline website or travel booking portal to get travel prices. You should browse around and check with other airline websites or travel booking portals to get the best prices. Never book the first travel fare you see, because the chances are you will find better. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel booking portal, is known to have the best and lowest travel prices. While you’re browsing around, also check to see if there are promotions or sales you can also take advantage of.

Take Advantage of First Flights

Usually the first flight of the morning are the cheapest, so you can take advantage of that to reduce some of your travel costs.

Consider Connecting Flights

This might surprise you, but connecting flights can save you more money than round trips. Just try to ensure you are prompt with everything so you have enough time to make the connecting flight, in case the first flight arrive late.
