It’s a bird, no, it’s a plane, no, it’s… oh. It is a plane.
Plane travel has really become the most popular. Some people even say it’s safer than car travel because you’re more likely to get through a flight without an accident. Well, enough of the cotton candy, fluffy talk… have you seen the prices of plane tickets recently?
Ok, granted, the price of tickets has gone down from their high a couple years ago, but still. It’s even worse when the airlines charge for bags or your little bag of pretzels, since peanuts are no longer allowed due to allergies.
But do we really know what those random fees are for? I mean, if they’re paying my pilot to be uber awake and not to fly through the biggest storm in a century, then I’m totally fine paying a couple extra bucks. I want to be safe. But the thing is, extra fees can almost double the price of your ticket – read up on what they are. Some airlines don’t use all of them, so be sure to shop around, now that you’re all educated about what you’re buying.
But BEWARE! Sometimes the cheapest fare is not the best idea, even if it really will save a bunch of money that you can then spend on my special souvenir ;-)
Definitely read the fine print. Are you getting no flight attendants because you’re trying to go cheap? Will it work for reward programs? What is there are flight changes? What about all those extra fees, like for your pretzels or luggage (priority listed first, of course)?
Well, there are plenty of ways to save money on airfare, especially if you do your homework. Look around at the “Big Three”: Travelocity, Expedia, and Orbitz. Be flexible and don’t fly on peak days. Switch around airports to see if there’s a cheaper fare from another one halfway close-by. You could even go directly through the airline’s website. There are dozens of ways to save.
Well, without further ado, here is your surprise! Hope you enjoy it!
