Travel dates

• If you have flexible travel dates and don't mind driving to an airport farther away, you may be able to save even more. The slightest change to your itinerary can save you big bucks. Multiple stops will cut down on your ticket price if you don't mind flying on several planes to get to your destination. If you have flexible travel dates, choose your flight to depart and arrive on slow travel days such as Tuesday and Wednesday. Search for ticket prices at nearby airports because prices between airports can fluctuate drastically.
  
  

When to Travel

• Travel during certain times of the year is slower than others. Try to avoid busy times such as during the summer and major holidays. Also, be sure to check the events calendar of your destination city. Ticket prices will be sky high if there is a huge event such as the Super Bowl going on.
