How to determine if you are paying too much for airfare.

It is no secret that those of us who travel are always looking for the best deals. And one price that never makes sense for us is the cost of airfare. Too often those cheap airline tickets send you on a time-wasting detour.

The flux in the price for airfare is what maintains the balance of supply and demand. But the question, we are still asking is “am I getting a good deal or is this a total rip off?” The way that these airlines are determining what to charge per mile is the yield or percentage they can charge per mile. There are so many factors though that go into how much is charged for an airline ticket. Air traffic and congestion of airports can play a big factor in the total cost for airfare.

This is one of those instances where doing the math and the research on what it should cost to fly to a particular destination could help keep some money in the bank for you.
