Another important rule for buying cheap air tickets is to make a reservation soon enough, even few months in advance. Thus the price of the air ticket can be much smaller than when you decide to buy it just few days before departure.
It can also pay off to monitor special promotions of airline companies and buy an air ticket during a sale. Also do not let any clerk to print out a classical air ticket for you. If possible use the possibility to be issued an electronic air ticket ETIX, which you yourself can print out later. This is another way how to buy a cheap air ticket.
