Looking for a cheap flight? The secret to getting airfare deals is all in the timing - Marketwatch

8 ways to save on your plane ticket

When Justin McCurry, founder of the website RootofGood.com, travels with his family of five, he leaves little to chance. He typically books his international airplane tickets as far as 11 months out, or whenever the tickets first become available to purchase.

“If we’re looking at a summer trip, we start looking the summer before and book tickets in September,” says McCurry, who lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with his family.

McCurry’s early-bird approach might sound extreme, but it probably ensures he has the most flight options, largely because he is booking his tickets primarily with accumulated credit card and frequent flier points.
