Who does not want to go for the flight deals? If these
promise you the prospect for saving hundreds of dollars in a single trip, would
you not like to go for these? And, the hurry is so much that you want to be
ahead of others in grasping these offers, even if it means falling into a
quagmire. It is to be understood that the deals have to be evaluated against
certain touch points. We mention some of these touch points here:
1.
Airline Matters
The first thing to note is which airline is
offering this deal to you. Is it the airline which is reputed or the one which
is close to bankruptcy. If it is the latter case, then there are good chances
that either the services will not be up to the mark or the scheduled flights
would be cancelled. You will be running the risk of uncertainty by taking the
flight offers from this airline.
Now, how will you know whether the airline
is doing fine or not? One of the first things to check is the news item related
to the airline. This will certainly throw light on its financial condition and
whether it will be able to fly as per schedule or not.
2.
Country Matters
US aviation regulators are very strong. They
do a comprehensive check on airlines and airplanes to ensure that air travel is
safe all the time. So, travelling is US airlines, or for that matter, on
airlines of other countries which have good record and have the young fleet of
airplanes is safe to fly on. There is no problem in accepting the flight
discount offers on that airline. However, if the airline is from a country
which is not very reputed for maintaining good airplanes, then this would be a
riskier proposition to accept flight deal from such an airline. A general check on average age of the fleet of airplanes is a good way to keep a check.
Countries have their own regulators and
some of these might not be as strict as some of their counterparts in other
countries. This could mean compromising with air worthiness of the airplanes
for passenger travel. Would you like to have a flight deal from the airline of such
a country?
3.
Terms and Conditions
Every deal is designed to meet a specific
purpose. And, this deal comes with its own set of terms and conditions. It is
important to read through the fine print of these terms and conditions.
Sometimes, these T&Cs are good enough superficially. Therefore, it is also
important to understand the implications of going with these set of T&Cs.
