How do I get the cheapest airline tickets possible? I'm

This is sort of an alternative solution but instead of spending x amount of hours trying to find the cheapest flight you can just use skyskanner or some other cheap flight website and use all the time you saved to sell some old junk in your house that you don't need or make money some other way that's within reach for you. The more time you spend trying to save some extra money on airline tickets the less profitable it becomes so don't waste too much time on it, eh.

Cheapest routes in the USA usually involve booking witth a shitty budget airline, like Jet Blue, to a major hub, like JFK(NYC) ), then getting deals/cheap flights out if there. It can suck moving your luggage from one airline to another and it takes more coordination on your part. Skyscanner is the best one stop shop for researching this. Or you just find the cheapest flights out of your country to your destination or close to it, then find cheap tickets to that airport, and cheap tickets from where the plane lands to your final destination (these primary and last leg tickets can be bus or train, as well as flights)

>Also, I understand that prices can fluctuate a lot depending on when you buy tickets, is it simply they get more expensive closer to the date, or is there any more to it?
There really arent that many tricks to it. For a random number, let's say there are 13 "cheap" seats on any given flight, and then those fare codes are sold out. The next fare up has 6 seats, and so on, right up to travel day prices. Each airline operates their codes per their wishes. Can be 20 different prices in Coach as an example. Supply and demand economics takes care of the rest. In the meantime, there might be a sale or an offer that adds some deals, or there might not be a sale at all, just fewer and fewer bargain seats left as people book. Maybe a tour will snatch all the cheap seats the day the flight got coded for that date.
Just set up a fare watch or check out the fare now, and get an idea for what is usual and customarily the price for these routes, and whether traveling on certain days gives you savings or not.
If you are traveling around Easter? Expect a ton of school kids to be on holiday and that demand thing.
