Deciding on a honeymoon package at one of the many exotic honeymoon destinations such as Hong Kong, Thailand, and the Maldives might not be for everybody. Reasons can include a phobia of creepy crawlies infesting lodgings or the cash drain inflicted by your marriage, which may encourage you to decide to create your own customised package and save a little money in the process.

If you decide to be your own travel agent, than here are a couple of basic tips to help you get the most for your efforts. Getting the best deal on cheap airline tickets is difficult online. You will find a cheap deal at Expedia or Travelocity, only to check out the lesser known Cheap Flights.com and find a cheaper plane tickets at albeit a month later. If you are not familiar with the way online airline ticket sales works this statement may come as a bit of a shock.

Online agents can sell greater amounts of tickets applying lower margins as they employ less staff and in the majority of cases this equals lower overheads than traditional Travel Agents who are likely to be less able to compete. Another reason that online agents fare better is that they buy tickets in massive volumes and pass as much of the savings onto you without affecting their margins. You should not assume that because of the benefits the online agents have that you will be able to get the best deal from them. In some instances this is not necessarily the case.

You should always try to consult at least three sites that can compare travel deals for you. To get reviews of your particular destination, or if you are undecided and open to new destinations, Expedia offer many reasonable packages that you may like. Expedia are a great option for flights to the USA and back from Britain or Europe with destinations serviced including Florida, Canada and flights to New York.

If you would prefer to deal with operators directly, consider going direct through one of the better budget operators such as Flymonarch. For shorter European flights such as most European destinations, these flights are a great option. FlyMonarch offer cheap flights to a range of favourite honeymoon destinations including Cyprus and Spain.

The advice below can make it easier for you to get the best possible deal on your airline tickets:

• Wednesday travellers often get the best price on tickets.
• Stopover on long haul flights - stopover flights are for the most part cheaper than direct flights.
• Look into flights to a second airport in the city you are visiting. However don't depend on this tactic too much as you may end up paying more than you can afford for going from the airport to your destination.
• Last Minute Flights - Last minute flights are usually much cheaper; you can grab a bargain if you are fortunate.
