Once you know your travel dates, don't delay booking your flight. Fares normally get more expensive as the departure date nears.

Don't travel during the busy season if you can. By steering clear of summer, school vacations and other popular dates, you can save plenty on your airfare.

What do I need for the flight to Illinois?

The secret to a hassle-free flight is preparation. Listed below are some useful tips that'll help get you ready for your journey:

Before you step on board the plane, you'll need to show some type of government-issued ID, such as a passport. You'll also need your boarding pass. If you're traveling with children, check with your airline about which documents they require — if any.
Take some activities to keep you occupied on your trip to Illinois. Books and electronic devices like tablets and laptops will do the trick. Be sure to take a water bottle with you too. Even on a short flight, it's important to stay well-hydrated.
It can get very cool on the plane. If you'd prefer not to shiver your way through the flight, wear an extra layer of clothes.

Be flexible. By being open to a range of travel dates, you'll have a better chance of finding a deal on first or business-class airfares.
Budget airlines offer first or business-class seating at more affordable prices. Give the full-service carriers a miss and go with one of these cheaper options.
Take advantage of your airline's customer loyalty program and use points to upgrade your seat. Alternatively, you can try bidding for an upgrade in online auctions.
