Money Saving Tips
Searching for affordable flights can feel even more overwhelming than the
packing and traveling that follow, especially for travelers who aren't satisfied until they know they have paid the absolute rock bottom price. Fortunately, a focused search of five or six websites, plus knowing the fees that can raise airfare costs at the end of your purchase, can lead travelers to the lowest priced online tickets to and from any destination--without spending hours or days to do it.

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.
