• Think about combining your hotels, flights and car rentals into a package deal to save cash.
• If possible, don't fly in high seasons. Airfares often surge during school breaks, summer and other vacation periods like Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Whether you're a seasoned flyer or it's your first time in the air, you can never be too organized when you travel. Here are some key things to take into account:

• You'll need to take all applicable travel documents and your identification. How much is influenced by where you're flying from. When reserving your ticket, you're encouraged to use the exact name, birth date and gender as stated on your government-issued ID.
• A well-packed carry-on bag is just the ticket for a great flight experience. Given your flight to Florida Gulf Coast is no quick hop, take some snacks and activities to keep you happy. A good book or magazine will help the hours pass.
• Aeroplane cabins can often get quite cool. Even if you're flying during the height of the Florida Gulf Coast summer, be sure to bring a sweater on board to keep comfortable.
