Flying on a plane can cost a lot of money. Now is a good time to buy plane tickets at a low price. Many airlines are selling cheap tickets.
A woman from a news station says that there are good prices now. She also says that you need to be careful. The tickets may not really be a very good deal.
These cheaper plane tickets come with many rules. If you do not follow the rules you may have to pay more money. People need to be very careful when buying these tickets.
You need to be sure that you want these tickets before buying them. If changes need to be made it will cost a lot of money. Buyers also need to use their tickets before the middle of December.
The airlines will not lose any money by selling these cheaper tickets. They are sure that many people will buy them. They will sell more tickets now because they cost less money.
