Here are some essential tips to keep in mind before you finalize your flight booking.

Book in Advance: Generally, the earlier you book, the better the prices. Try to book your flights at least 4-6 months prior for international travel.

Be Flexible with Dates: If possible, be flexible with your travel dates. Flying mid-week or during off-peak hours can often result in lower fares. Utilize flight comparison tools that allow you to view prices for multiple dates.

Book One-Way Tickets: Choosing to book one-way tickets rather than roundtrip tends to be less expensive. It also provides the added advantage of flexibility, allowing you to fly back from a different airport and tailor your travel plans to better suit your preferences.
