5 Mistakes To Avoid When Booking Your International Flights in 2021
The year 2020 saw the world go into lockdown due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Plans for travel and holidaying were cancelled as people stayed cooped up at home to stay safe from infection. However, 2021 now opens up new and exciting possibilities for travel. Yet, you might be out of practice having not booked tickets for a whole year. If that is the case, we have listed 5 mistakes that you must avoid when booking international flights in 2021.
Mistake 1 – Not checking your passport expiry date • As most of us have been at home the past year, it is quite natural for a lot of people to have expired passports. • After all, who checks the passport for expiry dates if they are not travelling? However, do bear in mind that some countries require that your passport stays valid for at least six months beyond the date you plan to return home. • It is important to look into this before you make your reservations.
Mistake 2 – Forgetting to use aggregator websites • The easiest way to find the best deals oninternational flights is by using aggregator websites to make your bookings. • These websites allow you to compare the rates on several airlines easily on a single platform. • If you were to individually visit the website of each airline, you would end up wasting a lot of time and effort.
Mistake 3 – Booking flights for the weekend • Now, we know that travelling over the weekend seems like the best idea. However, remember that tons of other people are also probably flying around the same time and this will lead to higher prices on International Flight Offers the weekend. • If you want to get a good deal on your travels tickets, try your best to reserve a flight for the middle of the week. • Even better, reserve a red-eye flight (something around the wee hours of the morning) for a truly substantial saving on your airfare.
Mistake 4 – Not asking about the baggage allowance • When flying internationally, you would put a great deal of thought into what you pack into your suitcase. • However, remember not to pack your bag too heavy. A lot of airlines place limitations on the weight of the luggage that each passenger can check-in or carry-on. • If your luggage goes in excess of this, you might have to pay for the extra weight. And, that payment can get costly.
Mistake 5 – Errors in personal details • When travelling byinternational flights, you need to be extremely careful about the personal information you enter. • For instance, the name on your flight ticket should match your passport exactly. Any issue or discrepancy might lead to you having to miss your flight - that would be a lot of money wasted. • Finally, remember to book international flights well in advance so you get the airline and seat of your choice. As you get closer to the date of departure, seats may get sold out. • Bon voyage!
