cheap airline tickets on Tuesday midnight

As you know, airfare does depend on the airline, but it also depends on the dates that you're looking to travel on. Generally speaking, it's a bit cheaper to fly on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. And generally speaking, the airfares you find will be lower if you search for them on a Tuesday afternoon compared to a Monday. This is because airlines often introduce new fare sales on Tuesday mornings. I've actually gotten gypped a couple of times for not following this rule (I booked a flight on Monday, then saw that the airfare dropped the following day).
the best "hour" to buy tickets is on Wednesday at midnight (midnight at your airline's base city, not necessarily your midnight). airlines release holds on tickets every day at midnight
Apparently, this is the time when unbooked fares are heavily discounted for the public and made available for a quick sale.
The best thing to do is to buy your ticket early. The longer you wait, the more expensive the airfare will most likely be.Discount fares have advance purchase requirements (usually 14 or 21 days), so there is an advantage to buying before then.
Usually, your tickets are going to be cheaper if you buy them from the airlines site directly. They don't charge service fees, so it saves you a few dollars. But it's more of the fact that the airlines are easier to work with if you book with them, I've heard a lot of bad things about booking with sites like Expedia and Orbitz. It's always worth checking directly,you have plenty of airline choices. American, Continental, Delta, United, US Airways, AirTran, Midwest/Frontier, and Southwest are the options I can think of off the top of my head. Sites such as Expedia and Orbitz will also yield comparable or equal fares to what you would find at each airline's site.

which month do Airlines Raise airfares

What month has the lowest airfare rates depends on what airline you fly (as they all vary in price), and of course on the country you're hoping to fly to. But here are a few general tips:

Airlines Raise airfares to europe in the summer months, from the beginning of July to the end of September.because it is the busiest time period. Also it is far away and prices tend to be on the high side 4+ months in advance, but with summer being so busy the airline is usually on the dot. Wait until 6 weeks before you want to go to buy your ticket. Buy it with more than 28 days in advance to get the usually "best" price.

Another tip: It is usually cheaper to fly into Germany, Belgium, Austria, Spain, etc.. instead of France, UK, or Italy. They do not get as many tourist compared to those 3 European countries. If you intend to travel around Europe and visit several countries, fly into one of the less busy European countries instead and start your vacation from there.


1) The cheapest airfares are usually sold in the winter months, or going onto spring - as long as you're not trying to fly to a country that's big on snow resorts, of course!!

2) Choose your airline carefully, as different airlines usually have price differences ranging between sometimes 1000's of $.

3) DO NOT book through a travel agent, as they ask for commission, so you're automatically paying them extra, on top of the actual fare price! For cheapest bookings, go to the airline's website, and search their 'specials'. They often tell you on the website what month would have the cheapest fares available.

4) Try to fly at unconventional times - such as 2 am, or 11pm. You may be paying $100s more if you fly at peak-hour, which is usually 5am - 9pm.

"Allegiant Air has operated successfully in a very challenging aviation marketplace by attracting travelers with the right mix of service options and value," said Gina Marie Lindsey, executive director of Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA).

Cathay Pacific Fuel Surcharge increase

The Hong Kong government approved Cathay Pacific Airways application to increase passenger fuel surcharges by 18% in April because of higher global oil prices.
The Civil Aviation Department also approved a request from Singapore Airlines Ltd. (C6L.SG) to raise its fuel surcharges by the same amount, it said.
Fuel accounts for up to a third of an airline's operating cost, and a steep price rise could hurt the industry's efforts to recover from the effects of the global financial crisis.
The fuel surcharge for short-haul flights operated by Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines will rise 18% to HK$194 per journey from HK$165, and the surcharge for its long-haul flights will also rise 18% to HK$884 from HK$747.
Ticket prices have to go up by about 5-6 percent just to accommodate the extra cost on their oil," said Andrew Herdman, director general of industry body Association of Asia Pacific Airlines.Cathay Pacific reported a higher-than-expected record profit for 2010, helping its shares rally on the day by more than 4 percent. But rising costs for airlines have seen its shares fall close to 12 percent since the start of 2011.
"With regard specifically to fuel, increased oil prices can be expected to have a significant adverse effect on profitability if they are not recovered through higher tariffs or fuel surcharges or if the effect of their being so recovered is to reduce demand significantly," Chairman Christopher Pratt said in a statement.

Qantas DFW Sydney QF8 flights

Qantas airways will launch direct services from Sydney to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) from 16 May 2011, giving Australians unprecedented access to destinations across the United States. The route will see Qantas operate direct outbound flights from Sydney to DFW (as QF7), returning to Sydney via Brisbane (as QF8). DFW is the primary hub of Qantas' fellow oneworld alliance member, American Airlines, and the two carriers will soon seek to expand their commercial relationship.

Qantas will offer four return flights to DFW each week, featuring a three-class Boeing 747 aircraft. Direct Sydney-San Francisco (SFO) services will be discontinued on 14 May 2011, but SFO will remain part of Qantas' network as a codeshare destination.
The direct Sydney-Dallas service can only run eastbound, however -- the return flight will go from DFW to Brisbane and refuel before continuing on to Sydney, due to the prevailing headwind direction over the Pacific.

The Dallas flights will be numbered QF7/QF8:

QF7 will depart Sydney at 1325 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, crossing the International Date Line and arriving in Dallas at 1350 the same day.
QF8 will fly Dallas-Brisbane-Sydney, departing DFW at 2200 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, to arrive in Brisbane at 0500 two days later, before departing at 0630 to touch down in Sydney at 0805.

From DFW, American Airlines and its regional airline partner, American Eagle, operate nearly 750 flights to 186 destinations worldwide. DFW is American's largest hub and it offers easy connections to American's four other cornerstone markets of Chicago, Miami, New York and Los Angeles.
Thirteen new US destinations and three Mexican destinations* will join the Qantas network through new American Airlines-operated codeshare services, meaning Qantas will codeshare with AA to a total of 51 destinations in the US, Canada and Mexico.
In further positive news for Australian and US travellers, Qantas will also increase the frequency of its Los Angeles-New York service (QF107/108) from six times per week to daily, from June 2011.
"News of flights between DFW and Australia is a great way to start 2011," said Fort Worth Mayor Mike Moncrief. "We believe the Qantas service will be a tremendous boon for the people of our region. It will be more efficient for passengers who want to visit Australia and for local companies that want to do business there."

* In the U.S: Albuquerque, Boise, Cleveland, Washington DC (Reagan National), El Paso, New York (LaGuardia), Kansas City, Oklahoma, Phoenix, San Antonio, Salt Lake City, Sacramento, Tucson. In Mexico: Cancun, Guadalajara, Mexico City.

does southwest fly to hawaii

Southwest Airlines does not fly to hawaii,but southwest has contracted for 20 Boeing 737-800s from Boeing that would allow it to offer direct flights to Hawaii. The airline will need federal approval to fly the long over-water route to Hawaii with the Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Kelly and other Southwest officials talked about the company’s plans at its annual media day on Thursday.

Hawaii would provide a plum destination for regular Southwest customers redeeming their frequent-flier credits, and Atlanta is a key market for business travelers.
Southwest doesn’t fly to Atlanta right now, but AirTran operates about 200 flights a day there.
The move is a new direction for an airline that currently has neither the equipment nor the authority to fly to Hawaii. The first of the jets is scheduled to be delivered in March 2012.

The Dallas News reported Thursday that Southwest had posted a job for an ETOPS program manager. "You can't fly to Hawaii if you don't have ETOPS certification, and you can't have ETOPS certification without the right people," said reporter Terry Maxon.
Beginning Nov. 12, travelers will be able to book travel to Mexico from about 20 U.S. cities served by Southwest. The cross-border flights will be operated by Volaris from Los Angeles, Oakland and San Jose, Calif.

And the Dallas-based airline set a price of $5 per flight for onboard Internet access. There’s still no way, however, for customers to see on Southwest’s website whether their plane will be among those outfitted for WiFi. Southwest says it will notify passengers by email if their flight is equipped with WiFi. It plans to have WiFi on 60 planes by year-end.

Delta airlines suspended the nonstop flight from Atlanta to Mumbai, India, leaving the airline with no nonstop flights between the United States and India.

korean air has plans to increase flights to brazil

Korean Air has plans to increase flights from seoul to brazil to daily flights, one of my pet topics. Korean Air will be the only airline providing nonstop service between Los Angeles and Brazil. With this direct service, the airline will strengthen its connection between Asia’s commercial hubs Seoul and South America.

korean air operate Monday-Wednesday-Friday flights between Incheon and São Paulo in a three-class configuration (first, business class, and economy). Every seat will be equipped with Korean Air’s advanced audio-video on demand entertainment system.

Korean Air’s flight between Incheon and São Paulo is a key route for people who want to conduct business in the world’s second largest city,” said Jong Eun Lee, Korean Air's regional vice president for the Americas. “We believe that Korean Air offers the best options for traveling to Asia, with this new service, we will reinforce our position as a global airline which provides much needed passenger and cargo services.”

Korean Air flight KE061 originates at Seoul/Inchon, flies to LAX in a Boeing 777-200 or 777-200ER, stops for three hours, and then proceeds to Sao Paulo, Brazil. Total eastbound travel time is about 26 hours. The return, Korean Air flight KE062, flies into the prevailing winds and takes about 29 hours. The flights are thrice a week, and every seatback is equipped with video on demand (pictured).

For Los Angeles passengers, the flight is great news; its second leg is the only non-stop between LAX and Brazil. On the other hand, the layover subjects everyone to U.S. homeland security procedures, including the requirement that transiting passengers go through immigration.

Firefly flights Sandakan to KLIA

Firefly will fly to Sandakan from the Main Terminal Building of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) using Boeing 737-800 aircraft. In line with strengthening its network in East Malaysia, Firefly is also increasing its frequency on the recently announced Sibu sector.

Firefly’s Head of Marketing & Communications, Ms Angelina Fernandez said, “Firefly indicates a significant growth and concurrently offers wider travelling options for business and leisure in the East Malaysia region with entrance into services to these sectors. Currently providing services to Kuching and Kota Kinabalu, with commencement of Sibu in the third quarter of this year, we are confident in capturing the group of value discerning passengers.”

Firefly will begin its operations between Kuala Lumpur - Sandakan and Kuala Lumpur - Sibu, from the Main Terminal Building of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).

From KLIA - Sandakan

2x daily - Effective 1 Aug 2011
From KLIA - Sibu

2x daily - Effective 1 July 2011
3x daily - Effective 1 Aug 2011 (added frequency)
Firefly’s airport ticketing offices in the respective towns are targeted to be launched one month prior to Firefly’s commencement of service.

Firefly’s frequencies into East Malaysia via Kuching and Kota Kinabalu as below;

KUL – KUCHING

Current frequency - 4 flights a day
Effective 1 June 2011 - 7 flights a day
KUL – KOTA KINABALU

Current frequency – 3 flights a day
Effective 15 May 2011 - 3 additional flights daily from the Eastern Hub
(Bringing the total number to six flights daily between Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu)

Los Angeles to new york flights Qantas

Qantas is increasing the frequency of flights connecting in Los Angeles from New York.
The Red Roo-liveried Airbus A330-200, which carries the same QF107/108 flight numbers as the primary feeder flights between Sydney and Los Angeles, currently runs just six flights per week from Los Angeles to New York's JFK airport, skipping Tuesdays.

But it's strictly for Qantas passengers connecting from Australia and New Zealand – no tickets are sold inside the US for this flight. Just as well, because Yanks may become quite jealous of the fitout on the A330: as one of Qantas' international variants of the A330 it includes 36 Skybeds in business class.

Features for Qantas trans-Pacific International Economy passengers, departing on US mainland flights, include complimentary: award-winning Qantas service; enhanced food and wine options, including a la carte menu selections; up to 400 video-on-demand program options with a personal, in-seat interactive video screen; and a carefully-considered amenity pack, featuring a selection of comforts to enhance the flight experience.

So in this stretch-out mode and with 60 inches of legroom (almost twice that of the A330's economy cabin) it's one of the best ways to spend the almost six hours shuttling from coast to coast and is a cut above almost anything on the US domestic market.

So while Qantas has plenty of codeshare flights from Los Angeles to New York with American Airlines, if you're travelling in business class you may as well stick with Qantas all the way through.

Another reason is that Qantas runs this flight purely as a connection service for inbound LA flights from Sydney (QF107), Melbourne (QF93), Brisbane (QF15) and Auckland (QF25, which originates in Melbourne), so it's more likely to be held over at LAX to accommodate late-arriving aircraft whereas a US domestic service would happily take off before your late flight touched down.

The exception to this is if you're on QF11, which arrives too late into LAX for the QF107 connector.

travel from singapore to ipoh by air

Firefly expand its Ipoh - Singapore route offerings by introducing daily flights between the two cities. The airline presently operates 4 times weekly Ipoh Sultan Azlan Shah airport to Singapore flights. The latest addition will boost frequencies between these two cities to 7 flights per week.

The all-inclusive promotional ticket price is RM88 (S$37) one way.and a traveling time of approximately 1 hour 20 minutes by air, the new Ipoh - Singapore route will provide travelers with an affordable and alternate means of commuting conveniently between the two cities.

"In response to overwhelming demand to increase the Ipoh-Singapore frequency, we are pleased to announce that Firefly will begin our daily flight into Ipoh from Singapore beginning 1st September 2010. We are confident that these new routes will serve to stimulate more travel and growth prospects between Ipoh and Singapore," said Angelina Fernandez, Head of Marketing & Communications for Firefly.
