How To Find Cheap Airline Tickets

by Morten Elm

Finding a cheap airlines ticket is a matter of two things: planning and flexibility. Combining those two elements can save you a lot of money.



Flexibility can save you a lot of money, when it comes to finding cheap air tickets. If you do not have to travel on a specific date, you can save a lot of money going in the low season instead of the high season. And you will not only save money on the air ticket. Also accommodation, food, sightseeing will often be cheaper.



In is also not unimportant which day of the week you travel. If you are going to a typical business destination (like Brussels), where all business people goes to on the weekdays, it is cheaper to travel in the weekend. And if you are visiting a holiday destination, you can save a lot of money by traveling there on a weekday.



Some place are notorious expensive to fly to; no matter which day or month you choose. If that is the case, you can ask yourself, if you can find the same attractions somewhere else.



Sometime you can find last minute offers on airline tickets. But in most cases it is best to plan ahead. An investigation has shown that the best time to book your ticket is four weeks ahead. This gives to lowest price with the highest flexibility.



The easiest way to find cheap air tickets is on the Internet. Enter your preferred dates and location in one of the many effective airline ticket search engines. Do also try to vary the dates a little (e.g. from weekdays to the weekends) to find the lowest price.



When you have found the dates (and location) with the best price, try to do the same search in another ticket search engine. You can also try to do the same on the airline's own website. Trying different websites can give you a better price.



So remember when looking for cheap airline tickets to be flexible. Go on the best day and try to travel in the low season instead of the high season. And stay away from the most expensive locations.



And remember to do some planning beforehand using your favorite airline ticket search engines.

Malaysia - Top 7 Beaches To Die For

by Joseph Archibald

Perhentian Islands: You could argue that when Leonardo Di Caprio chose to shoot his movie "The Beach" in Thailand, he was not familiar with the stunning Perhentian Islands! Just off the east coast of Malaysia in North East Terengganu are two islands which are known as Perhentian Islands. They are a massive hit with tourists now due to their silver sandy beaches and their crystal clear blue waters. Perhentian Islands is arguably one of the most beautiful places on this earth.



Redang Island: Not far from Perhentian Islands is that of Redang. In total it comprises nine smaller islands. Among the east coast islands this is the largest and arguably the most developed too. Designated as a marine park it's a fantastic place for divers and snorkelers to enjoy the collection of coral reefs and various marine life.



Langkawi Island: If you have heard about Malaysia as a tourist then you will also have heard about Langkawi. Langkawi Island is actually made up of ninety nine smaller islands and is host to some of the most luxurious hotels in all Malaysia. UNESCO recently awarded Langkawi Island with "geopark" status. For the tourist to Kuala Lumpur its only around forty minutes traveling distance so there is no excuse not to visit!



Pangkor Laut Island : Off the coast of Perak State, north of Selangor , lies a cluster of fabulous islands with unquestionably some of the best coves and beaches on the western coast of peninsular Malaysia. Among them, two islands predominate in terms of accessibility, infrastructure and development - the largest island, Pangkor and her sister Pangkor Laut. Upon the island of Pangkor Laut is the Pangkor Laut Resort which is renowned as one of the best hotels in Malaysia, if not the world. It has won a number of awards over the past decade and for this alone the islands are well worth a visit!



Tioman Island: Another island that is well known worldwide for its gorgeous sandy beaches and beautiful clear waters, which are teaming with fish and other sea life. Great for snorkeling around the coral reefs or if you prefer to do a bit of hiking then Tioman offers this to the intrepid adventurer also.



Rawa Island: Only a few miles from Tioman Island and offering similar luxuries is that of Rawa Island. This is privately owned and there is only one hotel on the island which may seem very limiting. However, its very exclusive and somewhat untouched.



Sipadan Island: Rated as one of the top five diving spots in the world, Sipadan Island is situated just off the coast of Sabah, Borneo - Malaysia's eastern island, and previously known as North Borneo. The island did have a reputation as being a hunting ground for pirates but now its known not for its piracy but for its wonderful and luxurious beauty.
