Fall is the perfect time to fly.
It's got at all great weather and cheap flights. Here are six
simple tips to help you find the best deals for autumn.
Tip number 1: Know where to go. Historically cheap destinations for Fall
travel include
Florida. Especially beach cities like Fort Lauderdale or Miami
and kid friendly Orlando. Then there's Boston.
Ideal for Fall foliage trips. And finally
Denver for outdoor fun anytime of year.
Tip number 2: The best day to shop for tickets is Tuesday
at about 3 p.m. Eastern Time. That's usually when you'll find the most seats
on sale. Tip number 3:
Fly the cheapest days. These are usually Tuesdays and Wednesdays
with Saturday close behind. Tip number 4:
Always compare airfare prices. If you only check
a single airline site, no matter which one, you could pay too much.
Sometimes way too much. See FareCompare to know you're getting the best deal
possible.
Tip number 5: Compare
airport prices. Unless you live in a big city,
check prices to a couple of airports near you. The bigger the better
because hub airports are usually cheaper. Sure it could mean a longer
drive
but the savings might be worth it. Tip number 6:
Avoid checked bag fees by using a carry-on.
Yes a few airlines do charge for carry-on bags but most do not.
And it's an easy way to save $50 on every
round-trip flight. And remember, you can always find cheap
flights fast anytime of year on FareCompare.
