  • Consider other airports for a cheaper fare. Enter your preferred departure and arrival airports in the form fields, then choose the 'Nearby airports' function below. It will show you any available options.

  • Save even more on your vacation by bundling your flights, hotels and car rental into a package deal. Your travel budget will thank you for it.

  • Stuff your carry-on bag with snacks and things to keep you busy and you'll happily pass the time on your medium-haul flight. If you get the chance, hop on the airport's Wi-Fi and transfer your favorite podcast or playlist to your device prior to take off.

  • Flexibility is essential. By being open to a few travel dates, you'll have better odds of landing a great deal on first or business-class airfares.
  • Budget airlines offer business-class seats at a fraction of the usual price. Give the full-service carriers a miss and look up these cheaper options.
