TripHip - Travel Tips and Advice for Traveling on a Budget

It is generally advisable to book your plane ticket well in advance.

Some people say that if you wait until the last minute, you can snag some really great deals - but for most people, this is a myth, and it's not worth the risk if you really need or want to travel somewhere at a certain time.

Once you've settled on your route and your itinerary, if you find a plane ticket that matches your budget, then go for it! You have no real idea of when the ticket price will go up, so it's better to buy a ticket once you're happy with the price, rather than try to hold out for a cheaper ticket. If you wait too long, you may lose out on that cheap price.
