Top Travel Tips: Flying Guide

Written by on in Blog, Blog post, Travel, Uncategorized
  1.  Purchase Your Flight on Tuesday Afternoon: If you’re trying to get the best airfare, when you book can make as big a difference as when you fly. The results of a recent FareCompare study offer some very specific advice: For domestic airline tickets, the best time to buy is Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. ET. The study also cautions against booking on Saturday or Sunday, since airlines tend to pull discounted airfares in advance of the weekend.
  2. Choose Your Travel Days Wisely: Choose your days wisely and you can save hundreds of dollars. If you’re looking for a deal, you might find that flying on lower-demand days means better prices for you. For example: consider a Sunday to Wednesday trip vs. Thursday to Saturday.
  3. Fly in the Morning: Although I know it’s hard but air traffic drops off significantly late at night and in the early morning. Booking an early-morning flight can mean avoiding the worst delays of the day.
  4. Get to the Airport Early: Yes, it still needs to be said. You just never know what might happen so give yourself enough time.  TSA recommends at least two hours to get through the security checkpoint.
  5. Follow the 3-1-1 rule!: Lastly, please follow TSA rules: All liquids brought onto planes must be in 3.4-ounce bottles or smaller and inside a single, clear, quart-size zip-top bag. This will help you to avoid any delays or having to voluntarily abandoned your very expensive Dior perfume.
