Distance isn’t always easy!

Those in an LDR can find that it is extremely hard to see that bf/gf because of money situations. Buying tickets are stressful enough for most because you have to save every dime and work extra hard to save that money to buy that one ticket that needs to travel to see him/her. So I thought it was time to talk about ways that you could can find the cheap tickets or save money one way or another. Nothing in this post is going to be a golden nugget but it might just help those who are wondering how to find the cheapest tickets for you and save money for your time with them.

Google Flights

If you are like me and you use Google to the fullest then you should be using this website to at least get an idea when the best time to travel to see your other half. If you know how to do it then you can go through the times when the tickets will be inexpensive to buy. You can track flights and even see when to plan your trip because of the lowest prices of a plane ticket. This is where I start off to find the best time to go see my girlfriend. You can always find the cheapest tickets and save money but this isn’t always the best way.

Skyscanner

Skyscanner is really good at looking at websites that you might not know about and finding the cheapest tickets. This site is one of those that I go to a lot to try to find that  more affordable ticket in case Google or some of the others don’t work. It can also track prices and email you when the prices increase or decrease but each website has been know to be competitive and thus can be tricky to find that bargain ticket.

Justfly

Justfly is another website that I use to try to find the reasonable tickets. Each of these only search certain websites and providers so each one might be able to find an airline that is cheaper than the rest. I’m probably not telling you anything you don’t know but it is also one of those sites I also check to try to save every penny I can to go see my Girlfriend.

CheapFlights

Finally this is the last of many websites that I tend to go to try to find the competitive tickets to go see my girlfriend. Each website has there own benefits and you might be able to find that one ticket that is in your budget or you can afford. It however is an ever expanding list for me to try to get the dirt cheap ticket.

Layovers

This one is the biggest tip of all on how to save money on plane tickets. What most of you don’t know is that each airline has partners in other airlines and if you buy a ticket from one airport to another you might miss an airline that can get you cheaper tickets for that plane trip. So I have found to get cheaper tickets in the long run. So if you have a direct flight and that’s all you need than this tip won’t help you but for me. I had to search airports that I would normally never of thought to go to as a layover point to get that cheap ticket plane ticket to see my girlfriend. This tip is to think about what direction you have to go to see you special someone and check to see if you can’t find airports that might make it cheaper for you to travel to and make your own layover instead of letting the websites or apps do it for you. I found this to be best tip ever, just explore which airline might make it bargain for you to see your special someone. One tip though you will definitely want to have at least a 3 hour layover for this way so you can claim your bags and check them back into the next airline but you will save more money this way in the long run even though you will have to deal with security more times. Leave a comment on other websites or apps that help you find that economy ticket.
