If you’re not aware of it, eBay does have a fairly active ‘Flight Tickets’ category. Where those who have booked holidays in the land of smiles, but who, for whatever reason, are forced to cancel, are able to offer their flight tickets, and/or packages for sale to bidders. Usually, those who are forced to sell their flights in this manner, unable to get a refund from their operator, are often selling close to the date of departure, and are just trying to recoup whatever they can.
To search for flights on ebay.co.uk, click on the ‘all categories’ on the ebay home page. Next choose ‘Holidays and Travel’, (and if primarily interested in just flights, select the category ‘Flight Tickets). You can now either browse through the category, or use the search box, by typing in something like ‘Thailand’, to check if there are any flights/holidays being offered for sale.
If there aren’t, at the time of searching, (and this is the tip), you can store saved searches in ebay (you’d be surprised how many people don’t know about this option). And what this does is, every time somebody lists a new item that matches your search criteria (i.e. Thailand - in the Holidays/Flights section), emails you to the email address associated with your ebay account, to let you know of new listings. So that you’ll never again miss out on any cheap flights to Thailand that might pop up on ebay.
And if you’re particularly free and easy with travel dates, and departure points, you could score a real bargain (I have). And additionally of course, if it doesn’t necessarily have to be Thailand that you’re looking to visit, this also works for any other search criteria too (and also works on most non-UK ebay sites too).
