Cheap Flight Tickets - article about Cheap Flight Tickets

I've come to one simple conclusion. Flying on a commercial airliner these days stinks. Now, just so you know, I'm not belittling first-class or dissing the size of the coach seats. I'm addressing the issue with flight times and lay-overs. Tell me; when was the last time you took a flight somewhere? I totally understand all the security measures, but the truth is that the runway is overcrowded and the flights are over-booked. This screws up arrivals and departures. So while you think you've found stellar cheap flight tickets, you've really just purchased a load of hassles. What happened to the good-old days of flying and actually arriving on time as scheduled?

I spent the other night on a website called travelation.com. It took me over two hours to sift through numerous "discount ticket websites." Many of which did not really offer cheap flight tickets, and shouldn't advertise their rates as good. They're far from good! Anyway, I ended up on travelation.com because they offered the lowest priced ticket I could find. However, there was a catch I wasn't ready for. You know how these websites always list the ticket cost and then state "+ taxes and fees?" Well many of them say what the taxes and fees will be, but this one did not. When I clicked to purchase the ticket, it added on 114 dollars for taxes and fees. WOW, that sounds like a lot. I'm thinking that's where they make up for the extra cash they act like they're not charging you. How incredibly lame. But, I ended up buying this ticket because none of the others were any cheaper. Maybe cheap flight tickets are simply hard to come by anymore.

Just so you know, regardless of how great of deals you spot on the web for cheap flight tickets, you'd better count on waiting a little longer than expected. Although you're likely to board the plane on time, you're also likely to sit on the runway for a good 30 minutes, waiting in line to take off. This can get frustrating. Also, you should expect a crowded airplane on every flight. These companies are basically over-booking now days in order to make fewer flights and make more cash. Is this really surprising at all? It's not to me! Air travel is not like it used to be.
