General Tips:
Below is
advice on how to get to Banjul by plane in the cheapest way
possible.
 The more flexible you are about the date
of your airline departure, the more likely you are to find
a cheap air fare to Gambia. If you persist on traveling on
certain dates you will probably pay more for you airline
ticket.
If you are able to make you holiday departure or
return a day or two earlier or later you can save a
substantial amount of cash on the price. Try using Travelocity to find
airfares for flexible vacation dates.
Orbitz and
Kayak also have the flexible date option.
When you make
your flight bookings early you can save on the cost of
your ticket making it relatively inexpensive. Attempt to
make your flight reservation 30 days before your
departure. Special deals don't hang around indefinitely so
if you see a great flight
deal you should make your reservation straightaway and without
delay.
Avoid weekend flights to Banjul
because they are normally more
pricey due to the fact that this is the time of the week
when most travellers fly. Flying between Monday and
Thursday normally results in a reduced cheaper fare.
Similarly you should try to steer clear from making your
reservation on busy holiday dates as that is when most
travellers and airlines are flying out to Yundum Airport.
The peak holiday months for visitors to is in the winter months between October to April.
Go directly to the various websites of airlines flying to
Banjul Airport and sign up
for email alerts for discounted budget deals to Gambia.
If you
have the time you can save money by using an airline
flying to the nearby Dakar Airport (Léopold Sédar Senghor
International) can often give you cheaper
airfares. You can then make the rest of your inward
journey by car and ferry.
Consider purchasing
separate air tickets for your outward bound and return
flight as this can often save you money.
If along
with your flight you will also require hotel accommodation,
then booking a
package holiday can save you money on your journey, room and
board.
 Some online booking services and airlines
have a "lowest fares"
guarantee; often if the fare drops within 24 hours on the same ticket, you can
claim the difference and benefit by getting the cheapest
possible economy flight to Gambia.
