Tips for buying your flights for your trip abroad:

• Start researching your ticket purchase immediately (though holding out to buy your tickets can sometimes save you money)

• You can arrive in the host country 24 hours on any date or day and our Coordinator will meet you at the airport.

• Usually, the best day of the week on which to purchase the cheapest tickets is a Wednesday, at around midnight (this means your purchase date, not your travel date).

• Usually, the worst days of the week on which to purchase the cheapest tickets are Saturday and Sunday (again, your purchase date, not your travel date)

• Start your searches at websites like Farecompare and Hipmunk which list the airlines and fares for your intended travel dates.

• Do not rely only on the Internet; always call the airlines directly, as they do not always have the cheapest fares online for international fares.
