How To Find Cheap Airline Tickets On The Web

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

If you want to go somewhere and are not too picky about where you have to go, a good way to get dirt cheap airline tickets is to bid for them on Ebay.  Travel agents, who have to get specially Trust E certified just to put up listings on Ebay, often list cheap airline tickets to various hot spots around the USA and around the world on Ebay.

You can save lots of money this way if you bid for and win the cheap airline tickets, up to 40% to 50% off the published price.  Some tickets are specific, like today I see one from NY to London in business class for $2398.  That is a super deal since often these tickets cost 2x that much.  Since it is business class and not a super saver coach fare, there is no set date you need to go and can book at any time.

Other tickets have more restrictions but are still good deals and the restrictions, like a Saturday stay, or booking through Orbitz, are  not overly burdensome.  One I saw was for anywhere in 50 states of the USA on United Airlines with 5 months to complete travel.  That is not a tiny window at all.

One caveat often is that exchanges or date changes are not allowed, so make sure you are willing to lose your ticket should something come up.

Ebay has trips to popular places like Las Vegas, Hawaii, Mexico and Europe.  It also has very cheap international flights and packages to more exotic places like Chile.
