 Getting the Best Price
Bangor International Airport and our affiliated carriers offer some of the most competitive fares for travel to and from Maine. However, there are a few things you should keep in mind to find the lowest fares.
Tips for Finding the Lowest Fares:
- Be flexible, if possible, with flight times. Early morning flights and non-direct flights (those including layovers or connections) are often less expensive.
- Fly on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday if possible, as these days are typically the cheapest days to fly.
- Include a Saturday-night stay if possible. Usually, the lowest fare is available only if you include a Saturday-night stay in your itinerary.
- Fly on the same airline for all legs of your trip to take advantage of any round-trip or connecting fare discounts.
- Buy your tickets at least 14, preferably 21, days in advance to take advantage of advance-purchase discounts. For travel at peak travel periods, such as holidays, buy even earlier, as the cheaper seats tend to sell out quickly.
For finding the best fares/travel arrangements to and from Bangor, please contact your local travel agent. For a list of local travel agents, click here.
Before you call your travel agent, do some research on the internet. It will help you get an idea of prices and availability prior to calling your agent. This makes the most efficient use of your time and the agents, allowing both of you to focus on getting what you need and can afford.
