Cheap tickets


Besides simply obtaining airline tickets from travel agencies, online or at the airport at regular prices, two special types of cheap tickets exist. These include standby tickets and discount tickets.

Standby tickets are obtained at the airport itself, only hours before departure. They represent places freed up by people, who cancelled their flight shortly before departure (so the airline has free places available, yet can no longer sell it at a regular price, because of the shortage of time).

Discount tickets are tickets that are only available at travel agencies; they are usually targeted at students. Discount tickets may be 50-70% cheaper than other similar regular tickets (not low-cost)
