Cheap flights To Fort William (INV) from $46

Landing cheap flights to Fort William is as easy as booking with Orbitz. But if you're eager to make sure you're grabbing the best flight deals around, here are some tips to keep in mind:

• Depending on where you're leaving from, click on the 'Nearby airports' function (located under the departure and arrival options). On occasion, alternative departure points offer more competitive fares.
• If you're flexible with your itinerary, click on the 'Show flexible dates' link. It'll bring up flight deals for the days around your chosen departure. Fares often vary depending on the day of the week.
• You can also hit the 'Show options' function to filter results for your preferred airline, seating class, and nonstop and refundable flights. Under 'Sort & Filter' to the left, you can even choose the time of day you want to fly.
• Reserve your airfare as soon as you've sorted your travel dates. While it does happen now and then, tickets rarely get cheaper as your departure date gets closer.
• Make greater savings on your trip by combining your hotel, flights and car rentals into an Orbitz package. Your bank account will thank you for it.
• If it's an option, don't travel in high seasons. Airfares significantly increase during summer, school breaks and other vacation periods like Easter and Christmas.

Any lengthy journey can seem daunting, but it's nothing a little preparation can't solve. We've compiled our top suggestions to ensure your trip is a smooth one:

• In all cases you'll need some identification. How much? This depends on which airport you fly from. When reserving your tickets, you are encouraged to put down the same name, birth date and gender as indicated on your government-issued ID.
• Take a good book or a tablet filled with your favorite TV series — it'll help to keep you occupied during your long journey to Fort William. Or if you'd prefer to get some sleep, an eye mask will shield you from those bright cabin lights.
• Cabin temperatures can quickly change, so it's wise to dress in comfortable layers. Also consider wearing compression socks. They can help prevent your legs from getting achy.

If you think a business or first-class ticket is beyond your reach, think again. Here are just a few tips to help you land a premium flight to Fort William for less:

• Being flexible isn't just for your yoga class. Leave some room to move around your travel dates so you can snap up more affordable airfares when a huge sale drops.
• Search for a budget carrier that offers business-class seats. They usually come with more space and a glass of Champagne — but without the premium price.
• Bid for an upgrade in online auctions (if available) or upgrade your ticket with points earned through loyalty programs.
