    One of the tricks to purchasing cheap airline tickets is to stay at the destination on a Saturday night. Basically, that is it. Air fares, for the most part, have been priced to the extent where business travelers are charged the most, and those are the people that cannot stay a Saturday night. Also, booking in advance if you know the precise dates of your trip can yield cheaper ticket prices. So those two items—booking in advance and staying a Saturday night—you're bound to get the best fares and the lowest fares. Another one that I'd recommend is a non-refundable ticket. But at some point, if you needed to change your date, you'd be facing the ticket reissuance fee, which could sometimes be upwards to $200 for a domestic ticket.

    Gifting airline tickets to someone abroad involves several steps. Start by gathering their travel preferences, including preferred airlines and dates. Confirm passport details before researching flights on reliable online platforms. Discreetly contact the recipient to ensure availability and preferences align. Decide on payment logistics and book the chosen flights, forwarding the confirmation details or creating a personalized card. Consider using airline gift cards for added flexibility. Check visa requirements for international travel and provide guidance if needed. Offer additional information on baggage allowances and check-in procedures to enhance their travel experience.
