Tips on getting the best deal on flights to Venice
Book in advance
To get the best discounts on flights to Venice it's best to book well in advance - don't hold out for cheap last minute bargains when it comes to such a popular destination. Venice is in peak season for most of the year and last minute deals are almost non existent.
Check all the carriers and airports
Don't assume that low cost carriers offer the most competitive fares. It only takes a few minutes to check the best fare with each airline, such as British Airways, Air France or Air Italia etcetera.
Consider one-way flights
Despite popular thinking sometimes it's cheaper to book two one-way flights with different carriers than one return flight. Check the best deals available from each carrier on each date and see if you can save any money by making two separate bookings. Be sure to factor in all taxes and fees before making your decision.
Where to find cheap flights to Venice
A great website which unites the travel routes of all the low-cost carriers is: www.flycheapo.com/flights/venice
Non refundable, non transferable tickets are always the cheapest options so be sure you know what date you want to travel and stick to it. Practically every airline now offers its cheapest flights online so begin your search by checking the website of the airlines themselves. Compare the prices you're given with prices offered by online travel bookers such as:
www.expedia.com
www.lastminute.com
www.ebookers.com
