My boyfriend and i are planning on traveling abroad to thailand for the summer...when should we buy tickets/?

Question

is it cheaper to buy on weekends or weekdays?? a friend told me one time but i forgot. and any good places that give discounts to students?? (because we're poor)

Answer 1

Thailand in the summer is low season so you should be able to find some decent priced flights. It depends when the cheapest tickets are, so look around. The best option is to use on-line search engines that presents the flights in a matrix that show when the lowest fares are available.

Statravel currently has a campaign where they guarantee the lowest student prices. Worth a look.

Answer 2

weekdays flights are cheaper but its cheaper like lets say u buy them super early but its summer already so yea  

Answer 3

Summer where?  Down under or next summer if your from the USA or Europe.  This is a wide, wide, wide world we live in. summer one part of the world is winter in another part.

Answer 4

airfares fluctuate more than the stock mkt  - I assume this is for next summer?? keep checking until they have cheap fares - check w/consolidaters - but I think now is way too early - call a travel agent -  

Answer 5

I would also check out Flight Centre.  We travel to Asia every year and we've booked through them the past 3 years.  I would also check out STA Travel for student discounts.  Another good website to check out for advice from travelers is "Igougo.com" and "realtravel.com".  People blog about their travel experiences, etc.  For future reference, the further ahead you buy your tickets, the better.  Have fun, Thailand's aweome!
