Landing cheap flights to Portsmouth is as easy as booking your ticket with Orbitz. But if you want to make sure you're walking away with the best flight deals around, here are some tips to keep in mind:

• Depending on where you're taking off from, choose the 'Nearby airports' function (located under the departure and arrival options). In certain cases, alternative departure points offer better priced fares.
• Similarly, click on the 'Show flexible dates' option to compare the fares on days around your chosen departure. It's possible to pick up cheaper flight deals if you're flexible with your plans.
• To refine your results, hit 'Show options.' You can search based on airlines, seating class, nonstop flights and refundable flights. You can also choose whether you want to fly in the morning, afternoon or evening under 'Sort & Filter' to the left.
• Book as soon as you've decided on your travel dates. While you can get lucky now and then, airline tickets rarely fall in price as your date of departure nears.
• Think about bundling your hotels, flights and car rental into an Orbitz package to get more for your money.
• Flying during busier seasons often means steep airfares. Try to travel outside of popular periods, such as Christmas, New Year's Eve and Easter.

Nothing beats jetting someplace new, but it's wise to be prepared. This list of handy tips will help get your trip started on the right foot:

• Before you take your seat on the plane, you'll need to show some type of government-issued ID, such as your passport. You'll also need your boarding pass. If you're traveling with the kids, check with your airline about which documents they may need.
• Take some activities to keep you busy on your journey to Portsmouth. Books and devices like laptops and e-readers should do the trick. Don't forget to take a bottle of water as well. Even on a short flight, it's important to keep well-hydrated.
• Whatever the weather's doing outside, plane cabins can get seriously cold. Take a hoodie on board to keep yourself warm and cozy.

There are ways of booking first or business-class fares to Portsmouth that won't burn through your savings. Find a seat at the front of the plane for less with these practical tips:

• Flexibility is key. By being open to various travel dates, you'll have a better chance of spotting a sale on first or business-class airfares.
• Budget airlines offer first or business-class seating at a fraction of the normal price. Skip the full-service carriers and consider these cheaper options.
• Make a bid for an upgrade. Some carriers hold online auctions that let you put down a price for a seat at the front of the plane. You may also be able to upgrade with points earned through a loyalty program.
