Flight prices are rising in tandem with the hike in fuel fares. However, taking a train or a road trip instead of flying isn’t always an option. The reasons are many. Firstly, flight travels are way faster than rail or road journeys. A journey of a day by train might take just a couple of hours via flight. On top of that, the chances of delays are more for trains than for flights. Flights are comfortable and safer. They have cleaner washrooms too, as compared to trains. While travelling by road, there are chances of encountering traffic issues. With flights, these problems are negated too. But now, as airfares are on the rise, we suggest that you follow this simple approach to book the cheapest flight tickets.

Advance Booking Is The Key!
This is one thing that most of us probably know, but often do not implement in reality. We remain confused about our dates for long and when we finally decide on them at the last moment, the flight fares already get higher. We often need to pay double or triple of what the actual fare is supposed to be. Now, keeping the airfare hikes in mind, it is advisable that flyers book their tickets at least two to three months prior to travelling. The key is to make your travel plans well in advance so that you have enough time between booking your flight tickets and actually flying.
