Never fear! We’ve offered some best tips for finding the cheapest airfares. ◆ Be Flexible with Your Travel Dates and Times Airline ticket prices vary greatly depending on the day of the week and time of the year. In general, Fridays and Sundays are the most desirable days, so tickets will be pricier. Prices are cheaper if you fly after a major holiday. Airlines know when a festival, holiday, or school break is coming up — and they raise prices accordingly. Be flexible with your dates and times, and you’ll save yourself some major money. ◆ Use Multiple Flight Platforms Checking between the different platforms can often provide you with better insights into flight combinations and prices — for the same exact flights. Different platforms have different advantages and features, so play around with them all. You’ll quickly determine the one(s) you like best! ◆ Check for a Student Discount As a student, you might be in luck. Some airlines, say, SAS (Scandinavian Airlines), have a student ticket which means that for up to one week before departure, students pay the cheapest fare. Normal travelers at that time have to pay a much higher price, but a SAS Youth Ticket may be only one quarter the price of a normal ticket. ◆ Keep an Eye for Special Deals Before looking for specific flights, make sure you’ve signed up for some newsletters. Joining the mailing list for airlines will give you access to the absolute best deals. More often than not, cheap flights are only available for a limited window (usually 24 hours). Keeping your eye on the deals will ensure you don’t miss an amazing opportunity. 1．When might the airfares be the cheapest? A．The first day of Christmas Holiday. B．The middle day of Christmas Holiday. C．The Friday before Christmas Holiday. D．The Wednesday after Christmas Holiday. 2．Why is joining the mailing list for airlines advised according to the text? A．To make travel time flexible. B．To get access to special deals. C．To check for a student discount. D．To take advantage of different platforms. 3．In which section of a travel website can we read this text? A．Book your trip. B．Design your route. C．Enjoy your tour. D．Research your destination. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 【难度】0.65 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一些寻找最便宜机票的最佳建议。 1．推理判断题。根据第一个大标题下的“Prices are cheaper if you fly after a major holiday. Airlines know when a festival, holiday, or school break is coming up — and they raise prices accordingly. (如果你在一个重要的节日之后乘飞机，价格会更便宜。航空公司知道什么时候是节日、假期或学校假期，他们会相应地提高价格。)”可知，重要的假期后坐飞机价格会便宜一些，所以圣诞节后的星期三的飞机票更便宜。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据最后一个大标题下的“Joining the mailing list for airlines will give you access to the absolute best deals. (加入航空公司的邮件列表将使你获得绝对最优惠的交易。)”可知，建议加入航空公司的邮件列表是为了获得特别优惠。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段“Booking flights can be really exciting, but the prices might shock you into not booking your dream vacation.

We’ve offered some best tips for finding the cheapest airfares. ◆ Be Flexible with Your Travel Dates and Times Airline ticket prices vary greatly depending on the day of the week and time of the year. In general, Fridays and Sundays are the most desirable days, so tickets will be pricier. Prices are cheaper if you fly after a major holiday. Airlines know when a festival, holiday, or school break is coming up — and they raise prices accordingly. Be flexible with your dates and times, and you’ll save yourself some major money. ◆ Use Multiple Flight Platforms Checking between the different platforms can often provide you with better insights into flight combinations and prices — for the same exact flights. Different platforms have different advantages and features, so play around with them all. You’ll quickly determine the one(s) you like best! ◆ Check for a Student Discount As a student, you might be in luck. Some airlines, say, SAS (Scandinavian Airlines), have a student ticket which means that for up to one week before departure, students pay the cheapest fare. Normal travelers at that time have to pay a much higher price, but a SAS Youth Ticket may be only one quarter the price of a normal ticket. ◆ Keep an Eye for Special Deals Before looking for specific flights, make sure you’ve signed up for some newsletters. Joining the mailing list for airlines will give you access to the absolute best deals. More often than not, cheap flights are only available for a limited window (usually 24 hours). Keeping your eye on the deals will ensure you don’t miss an amazing opportunity. 1．When might the airfares be the cheapest? A．The first day of Christmas Holiday.
