HARGA TIKET PESAWAT MURAH

Berikut saya coba memberikan beberapa tips bagaimana berburu tiket pesawat murah sehingga meminimalkan alokasi dana untuk berpergian. 1. Sebelum membeli tiket pesawat, pastikan terlebih dahulu tanggal keberangkatan dan pastikan sisa cuti anda masih ada, cari tanggal merah/hari libur kejepit, kan lumayan waktu liburannya jadi cukup lama dan tidak terburu-buru. 2. Buat account di setiap situs LCC dan daftarkan email anda untuk bergabung dalam milis (mailing list), karena setiap maskapai melakukan promo akan diinformasikan melalui email dan situs resmi mereka, dan follow account mereka di jejaring sosial seperti facebook dan twitter. 3. Untuk pembayaran pembelian tiket biasanya dilakukan secara online melalui Internet Banking. Pastikan anda memiliki akses, untuk transaksi dapat menggunakan kartu debit ataupun kartu kredit. Untuk kartu debit, hanya beberapa bank saja yang melakukan kerja sama dengan maskapai penerbangan. Biasanya maskapai penerbangan memberi batas waktu sekitar dua jam saja untuk pembayaran, lewat dari waktu tersebut maka secara otomatis pembelian tiket anda akan dibatalkan. 4. Pastikan di komputer anda memiliki beberapa browser seperti Internet Explorer, Mozila Firefox, Google Chrome, atau Opera. Hal ini sangat membantu anda, karena biasanya pada saat berburu tiket pesawat promo tidak hanya anda saja yang ingin mendapatkan, tetapi banyak orang lain juga ingin mendapatkan promo tersebut. Sehingga menyebabkan server padat dan memberlakukan sistem waiting list. Jika anda memiliki lebih dari satu browser maka kemungkinan untuk waiting list akan semakin kecil. 5. Maskapai penerbangan biasanya menawarkan tiket pesawat promo untuk hari kerja seperti hari Selasa s/d Kamis. Jadi untuk pertama kali cari tanggal keberangkatan dan pulang untuk hari kerja.
