What are some tips for cheap international plane fares?

If my dates, times, etc. are flexible, what are your tips for the cheapest plane fares possible?





I know I can search on Orbitz, Expedia, etc. but I want to know your recommendations. Days or other things to avoid?|||Well my advice is to first book online then if travellin g long haul flights try to have as many stop-overs like two or three of them. also if u don't mmind fly economy class but in the emergency exit row for more leg room. Avoid booking 48hrs before departure as there is achance of over booking. Fly cheap airline names not the big well known ones if possible. Also try to travel on thusdays or wednesdays becasue they hav eleast amount of passengers travelling monday, friday and sunday are not advisable casue they office or weekend days. Sorry if this to long this what I have to tell you.|||LTU AIRLINES GERMANY
