changed. There are a number of low cost and budget airlines that have increased the competition in the aviation
sector.
With the growth and penetration of the internet in our lives, there has been an easy availability of information. There
are a number of websites and travel portals that provide you the facility of booking the air tickets right within the
comforts of your home. Here are some of the advantages of booking tickets online.
a. First and foremost, the internet has been flooded with many websites that claim to provide you the best discounts
and deals. So this has improved the competition and the best part of this is that we are at the receiving end of it. But
also check the authenticity of the place from where you are purchasing your tickets.
b. Many websites have their agreements with major airlines that provide them with discounts and other freebies.
These websites pass on a part of these discounts to the customers and as a result, you get cheaper flights as
compared to the travel agents who charge their commission on the tickets as well.
c. You always have the option of comparing the prices of various websites and travel portals. You can also try various
packages that are introduced by them and they include hotel stays, car rentals and other things. There are a number
of travel review websites that review various airlines and hotels. You can read their reviews before booking your
tickets.
d. Another major advantage of the online air ticket booking is that you can book them anytime and anywhere. You
can check the status of the flights from your home and you don't have to pay any commission or fees to anyone.

These online sites have started their voice support service where you can contact their customer care executive if
you have any doubts related to bookings.
e. Another factor that rules in favour of online ticket booking is that it is much more secure and convenient than ever
