This is your guide and how to use the Airline-Travelguide.

How to find the best deals

We are not part of any travel group or travel agency, nor a part of any airline consortium. So we have included unbiased information about any and all airlines in our guide. We do not sell tickets but give you information where-by you can compare what is the best deal by accessing the information given.

Travel Agents don’t always access all airlines and often have their own preferred companies and airlines to deal with.

As you will see we deal with all types of airlines from the low cost and budget airlines to the biggest airlines who operate regular flights, commonly known as scheduled airline carriers. Flight fares depend on demand, change daily and are dependent on when you book, maybe how long you are away on vacation, what day of the week you travel and at what time of day too.

After you find the area of the world you wish to travel in, you access the web sites of the airlines of travel. In this way you receive the latest information, the sites will be up to date and will advise on fares and what is available to you.

Other information will also be available to you concerning your particular airline, you are proposing to travel with, such as baggage requirement, free allowances, food offered, can you take sports equipment and lots of other information.

Better you access the airline information on their web site as they are responsible for their information.

Can you be flexible with your dates?

Book well in advance. This should go without saying. The cheapest fares are the first few seats on the aircraft that are sold around midnight, when the lowest fares are first put up for sale, so book well ahead. If there is nothing particularly cheap when you first look, and there is a long time before your trip, you might be better off waiting for a seat sale. So be flexible and book midweek each way to save money and do so well in advance.

The following will however increase your probability of obtaining very inexpensive fares:

• Do fly in mid-week
• Do fly early in the morning or late at night
• Do fly in low season (Spring and Autumn)
• Do make use of sales. These sometimes appear 3-5 weeks prior to departure, however this is by no means guaranteed.
• Don't fly during public holidays.
• Don't book your ticket less than two weeks in advance

Can you fly on a lesser known airline?

To travel from Northern Europe to the sunny destinations, the airlines offer low fares for the holiday maker, often combined with hotel accommodation, transfers and perhaps car hire to make an attractive package holiday.

Often too, if the opportunity is there, try travel on more than one low cost airline. This can be a good way to save money. Fly with one airline to your destination and another airline home. Being flexible is important.

What is a Low Cost Airline?

The term originated within the airline industry referring to airlines with a lower operating cost structure than their competitors. While the term is often applied to any carrier with low ticket prices and limited services, regardless of their operating models, low cost airlines should not be confused with regional airlines that operate short flights without service, or with full service airlines offering reduced fares.

For most traditional airlines it is possible to book a flight from A to C with a connection at B on a single ticket. For many low-cost carriers, this is not possible as they only offer single "point to point" flights. To make a connection with a low-cost carrier, you need to purchase two separate tickets, one from A to B, and another from B to C, and these count as separate contracts. Connecting low-cost flights can save on cost but it has a few disadvantages:

You are not guaranteed to make the connection to your final destination. If your first flight is delayed, so that you miss the connection, it is your responsibility. The airline fulfilled the first contract by bringing you to the connection point albeit delayed, and you failed to arrive at the airport in time to get your second flight. Travel insurance may sometimes cover an event like this, paying for another ticket on a later flight, but only if you have put up a safe connection time.

All checked luggage will need to be picked up at your connection point as if that were your final destination. It then needs to be checked in again as if you are departing from that airport.

How to get low fares - Book online

Phoning them will result in a surcharge or higher fare or they may only offer web sales.

Don't assume too that major airlines don’t discount. Check the major airlines’ websites as well. Major airlines often have frequent flights and high capacity to fill.

So where are we?

A Travelguide is also available by clicking on the various countries and cities that you are flying too, or want more information about. The guide is split up into sections - by areas of the world.

After you access the area of the world you wish to travel to or from, another display of areas will appear showing you the areas of the world airlines fly from or to the destination you wish to include. Each section includes a list of countries that have airlines that fly within that section name or from or to that particular section.

The Airline Travelguide will give you the initial information of those airlines you are interested in travelling on.

For example :-

If you wish to travel in Europe simply go to that area of the world for more information.

If you desire flights from or to Europe that information will also be obtainable in the Europe section. If though, you wished to travel from Canada to Europe, you can obtain your information from the Canada section as well.
