Be Innovative, Fly Cheap

The first question on most soon-to-be travelers minds is

, how can I get tickets for a cheap flight? While there are tons of somewhat obvious tactics for doing so, like avoiding peak season and flying at cheaper times of the day, most people are unaware of the less obvious tactics, some of which can result in flights that are 100% free. They wont apply to everyone, and some degree of flexibility and creativity is required to take advantage of these unique approaches. If this sounds like it could be you, read on.

One mostly unknown way to score a mostly free flight is to become an air courier. While the big guys, like FedEx and UPS, use their own, many smaller courier services employ freelancers. It works like this: youll get to fly for a dramatically reduced rate in exchange for transporting a package and ensuring it gets into the right hands upon arrival. The downside is that youll only be able to bring carry-on luggage with you, as your checked luggage will be the package you must deliver. Still, the savings are worth it to many people. Consider this courier deal: Los Angeles to Tokyo for $100. At normal rates, this flight would have cost $1,800. Find out about available courier destinations via the International Association of Air Travel Couriers.

Another somewhat far-fetched but still very cool way to score free travel is to become a travel writer. If you think youve got what it takes to become noted enough to get paid for it, it can be a very exciting career option. If this tactic appeals to you, start today. It can take a very long time to build up the necessary credibility for someone to value your review so much that theyll fly you to their destination for free, but it is possible. Youll need to write tons and tons of review articles for free to get your name out there before anyone is going to pay you. If youre serious, start right now.

These and other techniques for scoring tickets for a cheap flight are out there, you just need to know where to look. Do your research before you commit to anything, and be willing to think outside the box to experience some great deals.
