Only buy a ticket on Tuesday
In the travel industry, Tuesday is
the first day of airfare sales. This is when all the deals are published and
the offers will last up to 3 days. If you shop on a Tuesday, you have a chance
of picking up one of these deals: You have no chance on a Monday.
- Tip:
When all the cheap tickets are sold, ticket prices revert to normal. This
means that you should not wait until Thursday or even Wednesday: Look for
your great deal on Tuesday
Fly early
People don’t like to fly hungry,
this means that pre-breakfast flights are among the cheapest. If you can
stand it, an early flight is likely to be a great deal and, as they are
normally less busy, you may catch up on your lost sleep any way.
- Tip:
Fly early for the best chance of getting there. If an early flight
is delayed, you still have a chance of getting to your destination, take a
later flight and a delay means you may not.
Packing
Avoid putting the
following in checked baggage:
- Valuables (e.g., cash, jewelry, expensive electronics).
- Critical items (e.g., medicine, keys, passport, tour
vouchers, business papers).
- Irreplaceable items (e.g., heirlooms, original photos).
- Fragile items. Consider shipping them in
advance. If they must be checked, wrap them carefully in padding.
- Perishables
Many airlines limit
their liability for loss or damage of these items on domestic trips. Try
to carry them on your person or in a carry-on bag.
- Put items that you will need during the first 24 hours
in a carry-on bag. Although most checked bags arrive on time, some
may be delayed for a day or two.
- When purchasing a suitcase lock, remember that security
inspectors may need to open your checked bags out of your presence.
If you wish to lock your
bags, see www.tsa.gov
for information on locks that security personnel can open and re-lock. If
you use an unapproved lock and your bag is selected for inspection, security
staff will break the lock if necessary.
- Put a tag on the outside of your baggage with your
name, address, and phone numbers.
Most airlines provide
free "privacy tags" which conceal this information from
passersby. Put the same information inside each bag, and
add an address and telephone number where you can be reached during your trip.
