Accepted Answer

Landing cheap flights to Wilmington is as easy as booking your ticket with Orbitz. But if you'd love to make sure you're nabbing the best flight deals around, here are some tips to follow:

Depending on your departure point, select the 'Nearby airports' function (located under the departure and arrival form fields). On occasion, alternative departure points offer more value for money.
If your plans aren't carved in stone, click on the 'Show flexible dates' link to bring up the flight deals for alternative departure dates. You may find a cheaper fare.
To optimize your results, hit 'Show options.' You can search based on airlines, seating class, nonstop flights and refundable flights. You can also choose whether you want to fly in the morning, afternoon or evening under 'Sort & Filter' to the left.
Lock in your fare as soon as you've decided on your travel dates. While it does happen on occasion, airline tickets rarely get more affordable as your departure date nears.
Consider combining your hotels, flights and car rentals into a package with Orbitz to stretch your budget even further.
Flying during peak season can mean costly airfares. Try to vacation outside of popular periods, such as school breaks, Thanksgiving and Easter.
