TripHip - Travel Tips and Advice for Traveling on a Budget

You can often get cheaper plane tickets by searching for flights to and from airports that are near your destination. For instance, if you are flying to Orlando, look for flights that fly into Tampa and vice versa. Orlando and Tampa are only about an hour apart, but sometimes you can get a cheaper price by flying into or out of one instead of the other.

This is especially true for major cities like New York, London, etc. You can then get a bus or train to your final destination.

Many flight search engines allow you to select "search nearby airports" - so make sure you hit that button!
