Question 3

How to book the cheapest flight to Switzerland?

Accepted Answer

Snapping up cheap flights to Switzerland is as easy as booking with Orbitz. But if you want to make sure you're grabbing the best flight deals around, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

Depending on where you're leaving from, choose the 'Nearby airports' function (located under the departure and arrival options). On occasion, alternative departure points will have more competitive fares.
If you're flexible with your travel itinerary, click on the 'Show flexible dates' option. It'll display the flight deals for the days before and after your chosen departure. Fares often vary depending on what day it is.
To refine your results, click on 'Show options.' You can search based on seating class, airlines, nonstop flights and refundable flights. You can also choose whether you want to fly in the morning, afternoon or evening under 'Sort & Filter' to the left.
Lock in your airfare as soon as you know your travel dates. While you can get lucky now and then, tickets rarely drop in price as your departure date nears.
Bundle your hotels, flights and car rentals into a cost-effective package deal. Save your dollars for things that really excite you, like discovering every corner of Switzerland.
Flying during peak season can mean expensive airfares. If possible, plan your vacation outside of popular periods, such as Christmas, New Year's Eve and Easter.
