Instructions
Step 1
The most profitable way to buy air tickets is via the Internet. Prices for the same flight at the ticket office and on the airline's website may differ significantly. To book tickets online, you need a plastic bank card of the Visa Classic or MasterCard system and a minimum knowledge of English.
Step 2
Closer to departure, airlines increase air fares. Therefore, it is better to book tickets in advance - 2-3 months in advance. Also, the cost of the flight depends on the day of the week on which the departure takes place.
Step 3
Decide on the point of departure. Traveling through Helsinki can be very convenient and beneficial if you live in the Northwest District and have a Schengen visa. You can get to Helsinki by bus, train or ferry from St. Petersburg. Another route option is from Moscow.
Step 4
There are sites that combine the offers of several airlines. With their help, you can find the best option and book tickets. For example, the resource travelocity.co.uk is very convenient.
Step 5
On the first page of this site on the left, enter the search query data: points of departure and destination, dates of departure and return, the required number of tickets. If there are children or people over 65 among those flying, check the appropriate boxes. The query result is displayed in the form of a table. In it, choose the best option. Please note if the departure and arrival times are convenient for you. You can place your purchase directly on this site. Or purchase tickets directly from the airline making the flight by searching its website through a search. Also think about which airport you would like to fly to. London has five international airports, and it is more convenient to get to the city from Heathrow. If you can change the travel date by three days, please specify it in the search. Sometimes, by shifting the departure date by one day, you can spend half the money on tickets. Direct flights are more convenient, but they can be more expensive.
