Airline Tickets Information:
It is
common for most international advance purchase coach class airline tickets
to change during the year depending on the season. Airlines usually divide
the year into a series of time slices (sometimes as many as six different
slices), each one of which can vary from 'Low' season up through
'Shoulder' season to 'High' season and 'Super High' season. There can be a
$600 or more difference between fares for the highest season and the
lowest season!
Sometimes the mere change of a single day can make a difference of maybe
$300 in your ticket- if two of you are traveling, that is a
difference of $600 in your airline tickets .
It is
common for airlines to divide the week up into what they call weekdays and
weekend days. Sometimes there will be only three weekdays (typically
Mon-Wed) and four weekend days (Thu-Sun) - wouldn't you love to work a
three day week such as the airlines seem to suggest you do! Often the
definition of which days are weekdays will vary depending on whether you
are traveling from the US or back to the US. It pays to understand these
issues, because if you fly on the more expensive weekend days, you can be

just by changing your travel dates and traveling one day earlier or later
in each direction.
