How To Track The Flight Price Change.

This post is another post in the series of Cheap Flights. Today I am going to write about the best way to track the changes in flight price.

If you are a frequent Flyer, You must be aware that flight prices keep on changing everyday depending upon the demand. In India due to a population of more than a billion people, there is a huge demand for fast travel. In India, the Ministry of Civil Aviation of Government of India (http://www.civilaviation.gov.in/) is the nodal Ministry responsible for the formulation of national policies and programmes for development and regulation of Civil Aviation and for devising and implementing schemes for the orderly growth and expansion of civil air transport.

The Airports Authority of India or AAI under the Ministry of Civil Aviation is responsible for creating, upgrading, maintaining and managing civil aviation infrastructure in India. It provides Air traffic management (ATM) services over Indian airspace and adjoining oceanic areas. It also manages a total of 125 Airports, including 18 International Airports, 7 Customs Airports, 78 Domestic Airports and 26 Civil enclaves at Military Airfields.

The flight prices and number of flights keep on changing. For example IGI Airport, Delhi being the number 1 busiest airports of India in the Capital City handled a record of 1044 Flights on 14 October 2015.

Coming back to our topic of Discussion...

Step 1: Go to https://www.google.com/flights. Enter the departure and Arrival Airport Code. Enter the date of your travel.

Step 2: See the Track price option available on google Flights. By Default it is off. Turn it ON.

Step 3: Before you turn on the track prices, You should be logged into google flights with your gmail id so that whenever there are any changes in the flight prices, google flights automatic bot will send you mail reminder about the price change. You can use this option of tracking the flight ticket price both for one way and return way.

See the image below. How the flight price changes from time to time.

As is clearly visible that the flight price increases with time. But the variation is not linear. Sometimes the Price increases suddenly. Sometimes there is abrupt decrease in the flight price.

From today to one month before and two month before the flight price was still low compared to the price today.

How to get cheapest flight tickets using Google Flights?

I am a frequent traveller. I travel almost every one or two month irrespective of my busy corporate work. During my travel experience I found ways to get cheap tickets. I travelled First time in my life through TigerAir. I booked the ticket through a travel agent. Later, I came to know that i have been ripped off by the agent for the amount of 9000. When I used web check-in option of TigerAir, I came to know that the agent took Rs 9000 extra and showed me the bill Rs 30000 instead of Rs 21000 which he paid to the airlines. After that I always booked the tickets myself. with time i came to know how to track the tickets for cheap price. I always use google flights.

Step 1: Go to https://www.google.com/flights. Click on one way. Enter your departure airport code and arrival airport code. Search for the day when the flight is cheapest. Click that date for one way.
As you can see the flight tickets vary from Rs 10995 to Rs 2062.
For example in the pic I chose 8 June as the date having cheap price.

Step 2: Next, Click on Round Trip and search for the return date. Find the return date when the ticket is cheap. Among the various cheap return flights, I chose 15 June as the return date of flight.

Step 3: Check which airline has been selected by Google for you which has the cheapest flight ticket. If you are satisfied with the airline and timing having cheap flight. Go ahead and Book the flight with the same airline.

Step 4: Next Identify the weight of baggage you are carrying. It is always cheaper to book the luggage before confirming the ticket. As you can see each airline has a different rate for different baggage weight. Airasia charges Rs 0 for 15 kg baggage.

Step 5: Travel insurance, I always choose no.

Step 5: Now make the payment and off you go.

Step 6: Choose the wallet. This option is not necessary. It is optional only if you are a wallet user of paytm, Freecharge, oxygen, Mobikwik, etc. However an additional fee of Rs 99 is Chargeable in case of payment with wallet

I will write another post about getting cheap tickets on airasia using E-Gift Voucher.
