Delta and the other major airlines announced their first price
hikes for the year ahead this last week. While you aren't looking
at a huge increase in price, just $20 on long-haul domestic
flights, this is in addition to the increases that they put up last
year - while you're already feeling the pinch from a stalled job
market and economy. Now is as good a time as any to start figuring
out how to save on your domestic flights, especially if something
comes up and you have to travel on short notice.
First things first, you want to be flexible on your travel
arrangements wherever possible. On a flight into Washington DC, or
to Chicago, you have more than one major airport that you can
arrive at. I found on my move to Chicago that being willing to come
into Midway, rather than O'Hare meant a difference of almost $100
on a one-way ticket. That's enough to splurge for lunch without
feeling guilty. The other major point to look at right away is your
departure time.

Money Saving Tips

$4 million dollars on a recent Hawaiian vacation, admittedly his exorbitant expenditures can serve to prove a lesson to us all on reducing costs and still enjoying the luxuries of an island vacation. You too can stay in an amenity-filled home without all the extemporaneous presidential-like fees tacked on. Planning a budget-friendly getaway to the Aloha islands is not hard. Save yourself a bundle and wear your lei with a sense of serenity vs. a foreboding fear of the credit card statement lurking in the mailbox upon your return home from your Hawaiian vacation.
