Best Airfare

Tips - Getting the Best Fare, Planning
Part 4
•
Fly
Tuesdays through Thursdays if possible.
•
Price the airfare on the net between midnight and 5 a.m., Tuesdays
through Thursdays. Don't believe me? Try it.
• Know the
going rate!
• Have your
exact planned dates in mind. Grab a good
calendar off the net to help plan the trip and book flights.
• If you see
a bone cheap airfare13,
buy it. Once those few inexpensive seats are gone,
software automatically
raises the price as load-factor thresholds
are hit.
Best net website for prices?
Lately, I have been using www.kayak.com. Try your favorite and compare
prices. Once you know the going rate, look at prices on Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday evening, between midnite and 5 a.m. That is
when the bargain appears (and quickly disappears). Know your dates and
budget and hit 'buy' when the price is right.

There is one
English newspaper online, Honduras
This Week. The newspaper has an
excellent archiving system
that is buried within the web site but this link will get you there. Look
up topics/areas that are of interest to you. As well, Yahoo has an
index that provides an archive of Honduran news in English.

Pedro Sula), and
La Tribuna
