Many people are interested in finding cheap flights to Athens from Toronto. A frequently asked question is, “When should I book my flight to get the lowest airfare?” It is recommended that you do so about four months before your trip. That is when you are most likely going to find discount airfare. Cheap flights may be available from one to three months before your trip but the closer to your departure date discount airfare becomes harder to find. Frequently discount airfare is no longer available a month before the departure date. So when it comes down to getting discount airfare, earlier is better.

An often overlooked area to find cheap flights is with the charter companies. Charter flights may offer you the best value, if not the lowest airfare. First, charter flights are open to everyone even though most people only take them as part of a package deal. Second, charter airfare is preset the year before. This means that they are often considered cheap flights compared to non-charter flights. Third, most charter flights to Athens from Toronto are nonstop or direct. Fourth, sometimes you can get really cheap flights if there are seat sales.

Seat sales have become highly sought after. Seat sales happen when airlines try to book up a plane. They usually take place within the last 30 days. Seat sales are really useful for people making last minute trips. Unfortunately tales about seat sales have been blown into mythical proportions.

The reality of seat sales is simple. Yes you can save money with them but they don’t actually happen that often. Too many times people have held off buying their tickets expecting to save big only the seat sales never happened. When it comes right down to it, you should not wait to book your tickets. You may think the price will go down but it can go up instead. So you take the chance of paying more, or worse the flight sells out. It is recommended that you don’t wait for seat sales but if you do find one take advantage of it.

You may not want to limit your quest for the best value for your money to your airline tickets. Your time in Athens is probably more important to you than how you get there. Take a moment and talk with one of tripcentral.ca’s travel agents who have been there. They can give you insights about Athens.

The difference with travel agents at tripcentral.ca is that they don’t push what is popular or cheapest. Instead they want to find out what you actually want out of your trip, whether it is discount airfare, specific locations or activities. Sometimes people incorrectly assume that the best value for their money and what is cheapest is the same thing. That is far from the truth. Because of this common misunderstanding tripcentral.ca travel agents discus with you what your interests, budget and comfort preferences are. Then they will recommend different selections so you can find the best value for your money.

When shopping for tickets you may notice that American, United and Delta may have cheap flights from Buffalo or Detroit.  Always balance the savings from discount airfare or seat sales with any inconvenience or added expenses getting to and from Buffalo or Detroit. Savings from cheap flights may not be real savings once the actual cost of travelling to the different airports is compared. Cheap flights are only valuable when they actually save you money.

Also you need to consider that flying with American or United to Athens from Buffalo involve changing planes twice. It is the same when flying with American from Detroit.  From January to April flying United from Detroit to Athens also involve double connections. Most other flights to Athens with United and Delta are single connections. This is a time when convenience may far out weigh any discount airfare.
