Before I start, please note that I am not affiliated with any airline companies or travel agencies, I'm just someone who happen to observe patterns in seat sale promos that may be useful for those who'd like to travel in a budget. My conclusions may go offset in the future as airline sale gimmicks change over time.
Tip no.1 - Airlines send seat sale updates via email, so subscribe to their promo updates. If you really want to get ahead, then be the first one to be informed. Filter and have a separate folder for these so it wont mess with your regular inbox. During big sales, seats are taken already even by the first 2-12 hours of the sale period. Last January, I waited for AirAsia's big sale and for the first hour, I can feel the website crawling already due to heavy traffic.
Domestic flight promos last about 3 days at least. For example, AirPhilExpress right now has their Php 0(zero) Express Easter Sale for selling period April 8-10, 2012 with travel period July 1 to Sept 30, 2012, and Feb 1-28, 2013.
