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.
  • Save big on your vacation by bundling your flights, hotels and car rentals into an Orbitz package deal. Your budget will thank you.

Reserve your seats to Illinois in January. This is the best month for low prices, closely followed by February and August. Snap up cheap flights and enjoy your dream getaway with Orbitz.

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?

  • 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.
