You’ve heard about it from your friends and now you want to try it yourself. It is supposedly cheaper and less complicated. But the question hanging over your head is this – is low price on-line booking myth or fact?

As travel plans this year are hinged on the 16 holidays as declared by Malacañang for 2010, it would be nice to start weighing your options and browsing for the best possible travel deals. Chances are, you are already regularly on-line with the latest fads on social networks, so why not start the search now and start hunting for that affordable dream getaway?

Some prices on-line are definitely cheaper compared to the prices offered in ticket sales offices. Airlines usually encourage travelers to book on-line to avoid the hassle of going to ticket offices and the long queues.

The discounts for on-line booking range from 10 percent to as high as 70 percent. Depending on the time and availability of seats, online buyers get to choose from among the cheap prices on their screens. Prices of on-line purchases vary depending on when you want to book your flight. The earlier you book, the lower the price of air tickets would be. For both international and domestic destinations, prices can drop like manna from the skies. Vigilance is the key to finding the lowest ticket rates since such prices are only available for a limited time.

All you need is your trusty credit card. Punch in those numbers on your screen and you’re set to go places. Since it’s just the beginning of the year, it would be nice to keep visiting the on-line websites of major airlines to find the cheapest tickets available to the places you want to go to. Patience is also needed in finding these very affordable travel tickets since most of the time these discounted tickets are rarely announced or advertised.
