In recent years, the demand for domestic air flights has increased at a steady rate. The main reason for this increase in demand is that the air fare has decreased significantly, making air travel an attractive option to the people. There are 2 other reasons for this increase. One reason is that air travel options of today are much more user-friendly than in the past, thereby making air traveling an attractive option. The other reason is that today’s airlines have a broader target audience.
In the event of an emergency, a person may need to acquire air tickets immediately in order to travel by air. There are several means by which a last minute air ticket can be obtained. One of the most basic, but efficient method is to personally travel to the airport itself and then register the person’s name in the flight standby or waiting list. This might provide the person with the chance of obtaining a cheep, but quality air ticket, even in the eleventh hour. Another method is to visit the airline website and search for possible air tickets which are available even in the last minute. It might be possible to get such an air ticket, at a reasonable price over the internet.
It might be possible for a person to get an air ticket even in the last minute because seats in the flight may not have been filled up. Therefore tickets are only assigned to people in the waiting list, a few hours before takeoff. This ensures that the flight carries the maximum number of passengers possible. This is a very large advantage to the airlines because they don’t have to leave with empty seats. It is also advantageous to the passenger, as the passenger will be able to reach his/her loved ones immediately, incase of an emergency.
As aforementioned, air tickets can be obtained over the internet. Most of these airline websites will provide the passenger with all possible routes that can be taken to reach a destination. In addition, the passenger will also be informed about any last minute air ticket offers which are available. These air tickets maybe offered at special discounts to the passenger. As such offers will only last a couple of hours, the passenger should immediately apply to any such offers available.
If the person travels to the airport to get a ticket in the last minute, he/she should contact an airline official. These officials will try their best to ensure that the passenger arrives at the required destination in time to be with his/her loved ones. All baggage of the passenger will also be attended to immediately (any loss in baggage will be compensated satisfactorily).
All passengers who wish to purchase an air ticket in the last minute should arrive at the airport a few hours early. This is because the passenger will have to go through formalities at the airport, such as any security checks and checking of all luggage of the passenger. Passengers who wish to take laptops will have to present their laptops for checking at the security checking counter.
