Catching a Flight From Chandigarh Airport


It is always good to do your homework before you take a flight from Chandigarh Airport. Fortunately you can now review the schedules of the flights online before you decide which one works out best for you. After you have chosen the flight that is matching with your schedule, the next step is to find out the prices for the airline tickets. The best place to start doing your research is to explore the websites that offer tickets online, like Travelocity. You can also visit the airlines' websites too.
Within about fifteen minutes of doing your research, you should have a good idea about the prices. The next step is to either purchase your ticket directly from a website or from a local travel agent. I don't really think that you will find a big difference in the prices. Purchasing a ticket from a local travel agent can be time-consuming. You will also have to pick up the ticket from their office.
If you want to save your time and energy, it is best to purchase your ticket online, print it off and make sure you show up about an hour earlier at the airport to catch your flight. If you are being driven to the airport, you don't really have to enter the parking area. Just get the driver to drop you off just before the parking entrance. That way you can save the parking charges. It is a reasonable long walk to get inside the airport, so make sure that you are prepared. Putting your luggage in a trolley would be a good idea in case it is heavy.
Here is a more definite step-by-step process that you can follow:
1. Review the schedules of flights operating at Chandigarh Airport.
2. Make a list of the airlines that best suit your schedule.
3. Visit Travelocity.co.in or Yatra.com and compare the prices offered by the airlines on your list.
4. Select the one that offers the best price.
5. Call a couple of local travel agents to find out what price they offer for the same flight. If you don't have their phone numbers, you can call Just Dial at 0172-6999-999 and they will send you a list of the local travel agents and their contact numbers via SMS or Email.
6. Decide whether you want to purchase your ticket online or through the local travel agent. If you don't have a credit card, then you won't be able to purchase a ticket online.
Good luck with your trip!
