How to Name Your Own Price for Air Fare

Air travel is usually convenient, but the prices to fly are usually not. Booking your trip months in advance may reduce the cost of your airfare, but you are not always able to make your flight arrangements ahead of time. If you are looking for a deal on airfare, many discount airfare businesses are available online. Customers who are flexible with their flight times can bid on their airfare rates at these sites and pay a fraction of regular prices.
