The price of a flight depends on several factors. Here are some tips to find the best fares:

  • Book in advance: by booking in advance you will find seats available at the best prices. The closer the booking date is to departure, the lower the chance of finding the best ticket price;
  • Book a Saturday night: try to spend a Saturday night at your chosen destination. Some of the lowest ticket fares have this restriction;
  • Avoid travelling during the high season: seats sell out quickly at this time year and the best rates are the first to be sold. You should travel in high season only when necessary;
  • Promotions: visit flytap.com regularly and subscribe to our Newsletter. This is one of the best ways to hear about our special offers firsthand;
  • Good Planning: the best ticket fares are the most restrictive, many of them do not allow any changes or refunds after the ticket has been issued and even when changes are allowed they will be subject to penalties.
