What is an Earlybird fare?
Every year, cheap airfares are typically released in August or September for travel in the following year. Traditionally, these Earlybird deals were for Europe only but nowadays, they also extend to a number of destinations across the USA. Think of Earlybirds as the travel version of a yearly stocktake sale with a bucket load of bargains up for grabs. Just be sure to get in quick, these airfares won’t last long!
Earlybird deals can also go beyond flights, with a number of coach touring companies also offering fantastic value tours in conjunction with your cheap airfares. Check out what’s on offer from Trafalgar, Insight Vacations, Contiki, Intrepid, Busabout, Cosmos and Globus.
What are the benefits?
The biggest benefit of an Earlybird ticket is the monetary saving, with leading airlines releasing their own Earlybird airfare deals. These flights can literally save you hundreds of dollars, leaving you with more coin to spare. You can lock in cheap prices and book your dream holiday in advance, securing great rates for peak travel times, such as the European summer. You can choose your ideal route and the timing of your holiday, without having to sacrifice either one for a good price.
These highly competitive airfares also offer peace of mind. You can rest easy, knowing your travel plans are locked in – this is especially important for popular travel routes that often sell out. Not only do many European flights fill fast in peak times, but prices tend to sky-rocket if you leave it to the last minute. Once you have acquired your Earlybird fare, you will have plenty of time to plan, save and pack for your overseas jaunt.
