• Booking:
  • Discount flight notifications for deals from your nearest airport delivered to your email nearly daily for $25/year – NextVacay.com
  • Join frequent flyer programs and look for ways to double dip
  • Prices often change late Monday nights so Tuesday is the best time to shop. Some advice suggests 3pm EST is the best time to shop for a fare on Tuesdays.
• At the airport:
  • Research baggage prices and buy ahead – find out if the prices will increase if you wait to purchase at the airport
  • Also research size requirements as weight and dimension can differ by airline
  • Container store has nice small bottles for carry-on fluids
  • TSA Pre-check or Global Entry are nice options for reducing your wait and streamlining your security experience; your credit company may reimburse this – look into it
  • Clear is a new option in a few airports
  • Global Entry is also a nice option which helps you clear customs faster when returning from out of the county; it includes TSA pre-check benefits
