We know how it feels. That\u2019s why we don\u2019t want you to worry anymore\u00a0as we are here to debunk all your air travel related myths. Let\u2019s glance at some of the most prominent air travel myths.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Booking window<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is the most confusing part of the booking process. That\u2019s because some people, agents or websites lure you with last-minute deals or some want you to book in advance like you would be for a big life event such as your marriage. Hold on, take a\u00a0deep breath and get this clear.\u00a0Booking too well-in-advance or\u00a0even last minute is of no use. Well, going by the rule of thumb, it is advisable to book your flight 6 to 8 weeks in advance to get the best deals. So ideally,\u00a0six weeks for short-haul and eighteen weeks for long-haul flights is a reasonable period to book.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cookies are expensive<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, we aren\u2019t talking about those baked cookies but the ones in your web history. Rumor has it, the more you visit an airline\u2019s website, the higher the prices go. And what\u2019s it got to do with the cookies? Everything. You see\u00a0cookies alert the airlines or travel websites that you are looking book tickets or vacations. So, chances are that the airlines or travel companies can decrypt this info and increase their prices, the next time they spot you online at the same website. So, our recommendation is,\u00a0delete your cookies or go into an incognito mode.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Upgrades<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Upgrades are possible, but you got to be very lucky\u00a0or impressive for the airline executive to hand you one. Unless\u00a0you are ready to pay a lot of cash for it, all your gimmicks to get one, might just be one failure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mobiles on airplane gone<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No way is this going to happen. The only reason the cabin crew advises you\u00a0to turn off your phone is\u00a0that it doesn\u2019t interfere with headsets used in cockpit, which might annoy the crew. And you would be happy to know that this rule is now being relaxed by most airlines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thunderstorms are a big risk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thunderstorms and lightning can be scary\u00a0and might make you\u00a0even chant some prayers, but that does not mean your plane will come crashing down. Pilots have undergone\u00a0thousands of hours of training\u00a0to fly through a turbulence. It\u2019s like driving your car through a thunderstorm. It\u2019s scary, but it does not mean\u00a0that you will not survive it.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we have busted your travel myths, it\u2019s best that you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtkt.com\/\">book right away<\/a>. Confused where to begin?<strong> Airtkt<\/strong> is all you need for the best air ticket prices, travel deals and discounts.
