There was a time when one-way tickets used to cost almost equal to round-trip fares. But with the new crop of regional airlines and low-cost carriers in the market, it is possible to find reasonably priced one-way airline tickets. Flying to a destination far from your origin city, however, can still be expensive if you don’t know your return dates and have to book one-way airline tickets. Thus we have shortlisted some travel hacks that can help you find cheap one-way flight tickets.
Use Discount Coupons
Nowadays the internet is flooded with OTAs and e-commerce businesses that promise to offer discount airfares for using their services. It may cause you no harm to subscribe them for offers and deals or to sign up for their newsletters. Yes, you may receive marketing emails from them, but they don't always spam you. At times they may have some stellar deals for you. You should, however, read their offer description before using them so that you are not disappointed later. These offers may be valid for a limited period so you should hurry up to book your one-way airline tickets after you find one coupon code that saves you some dollars.
Book With Low-Cost And Ultra-Low-Cost Carriers
Do some researching before you happen on a website of an airline or an OTA. Check the airports in and around your destination city and make a list of all the airlines serving them (you can find the details on the Wikipedia pages of the airports). Now sort all the low-cost and ultra-low-cost carriers from the list and check if they connect your origin airport to the destination airport. Now with these airlines you can pay for each leg of your journey, and they are often reasonably priced too. Also, don’t forget to compare the airfares on different flight booking sites.
See If The Major Airlines Have a Deal For You
Major American airlines are often known to charge an excessive fee for one-way flights, and that’s what has contributed to the boom of regional and discount airlines. Now to push these small airlines out of business, the legacy carriers sometimes match or beat their prices. It can be your opportunity to travel in plush seats with better in-flight amenities. Such deals, however, are available on limited routes only. So don’t avoid the major airlines either while looking for cheap flights .
Throwaway Tickets
Do you know that one-way flyers upset the travel schedules of the air carriers? That’s true! And to discourage passengers from traveling one way, airlines sometimes offer the second leg at throwaway prices that means a return flight ticket may cost less than a one way fare. So check fares from you’re your origin destination to your destination and then compare that to return tickets. If you find a cheaper rate, then make you booking and miss the return flight. These deals may be rare, but they do exist.
