5 Easy Steps to Follow for Flight Ticket Booking

 

If you are reading this article, you may be a student air-traveling for the first time, or perhaps you are an elderly person who wants to understand the steps in flight ticket booking. Or you may be reading this article to make sure that you are not lost while booking an air-ticket even if you’ve done that a thousand times before.

This article will help you understand the flight ticket booking steps:

1. Visit a travel portal

The first thing in the list of flight ticket booking is visiting a travel portal. You could visit the online portal of different airlines but if you do so, you would lose the foresight you’d get if you visited a travel portal to book a flight ticket. So go to an online travel portal of your choice to compare the rate of flight tickets offered by a variety of airlines. You would also be able to book hotels for your stay at your destination using these travel portals.

2. Put in your start point and end point

The next thing to do is select the starting airport and the destination airport. This is fairly easy if you visit one of the best portals. They have an easy to use interface to help you select your airports. Once you put in the details, the portal will give you a list of flights, their prices, and their departure and arrival time. Be sure to select the right date for your travel. You do not want to mess up the dates.

3. Adjust the filters

The next step is to customize the ticket for yourself. Select the type of seat you want (e.g. business class, economy class, etc.), the meals you would like to have in the airplane, addon travel insurance, extra baggage details, and much more. Every portal will give you a lot of filters to select from. Tick those filter boxes on the portal that you see fit to be part of your traveling experience.

4. Book the ticket

Once you have the dates of travel, and other filters in place, you will be given a list of airlines, and their flights that take you to your destination. Be sure to click on “I agree”, “I accept the terms and conditions” check boxes after you read them carefully. Once you have rechecked the details of your booking, move to the next phase. You could get travel insurance as well, bundled with the ticket. Also, if you are flying internationally then keep your passport ready.

5. Pay from your online gateway

Once you complete the above step, click on ‘book and pay’ or any equivalent button. Check the payment option of your choice. The option may be to choose one from among MasterCard, Visa, or an online wallet. You could also select any other payment option that is listed on the portal and if it suits your needs. You will be linked to a secure payment portal from where you can pay the ticket price. Keep the receipt of your ticket-purchase with yourself when you board the flight.

These are the easy steps of flight ticket booking. One more thing: Make sure that your internet connection is not compromised when you book your tickets. This may make you a victim of cybercrimes. Ensure that you have a safe and secure internet connection to keep the online-purchase evils off your back. All the best for your travels. Safe journey!
