Planning is always better than burning a hole in your pocket by booking a last-minute flight. To avoid a situation like this booking a flight ticket in advance is the key to buy cheap flight tickets.

Ideally, book a flight ticket before seven weeks from the date of travel is recommended. To be able to get cheap international flight tickets you must book at least 3 to 6 months in advance.

When you are certain about your travel plans it is recommended that you keep a constant check on the airfare and compare prices. There are a number of websites where you can check and compare prices without having to go through websites of different airlines.
