How to book the cheapest flight to Illinois?

Scoring cheap flights to Illinois is as easy as booking with Orbitz. But if you're eager to make sure you're nabbing the best flight deals around, here are some tips your wallet will love:

To fine tune your results, click on 'Show options.' You can search based on airlines, seating class, and nonstop and refundable flights. You can also select your preferred departure and arrival times under 'Sort & Filter' to the left.
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 is the cheapest month to fly to Illinois?

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.

How do I get cheap first-class/business deals to Illinois?

There are ways of booking first or business-class fares to Illinois that won't burn a hole through your savings. Pick up a seat in the pointy end of the plane for less with these helpful tips:

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.

What is the best time to go to Illinois?

Illinois is a lively place in May, June and August. If you're thinking of visiting during these months, it would be wise to book early to ensure you pick up the greatest deals.
