Travelers should book airfare 14 days or more before the actual date of travel, correct?
In order to get the lowest fares?
What other suggestions are there?
I'm flying out of MKE airport on Aug 28th to PHX.
And leaving PHX on Sept 1st - returning to MKE
Book today! Prices go up closer to departure - if there are any seats left on the flight you want.
Actually, 21 days is better, especially if you want to use miles.
21 days out is when things really start to get jacked up.
Book now. That is Labor Day weekend, so things might be busier. Busier travel times lead to less seats and higher fares.
It's usually best to book domestic flights about 6-10 weeks in advance, but definitely by 3 weeks out.
Yes, even earlier would be better.
More like 6-7 weeks in advance
The best way to say money is to have flexible dates. If you can't be flexible, even by a day either direction, then book early. In general prices will go up as you get closer. At 2 weeks out you'll be seeing that price go up. Use Kayak.com and look at their educated guess as to whether prices will be going up or down in the near future. It's usually pretty good. I would suspect you should be buying your tickets As soon as possible at this point.
- Why do some people who book Frontier wait till they get to the airport to pay for checkin luggage when it's more than when you pay online? Like you have a small fee online. If you wait till you're at the airport it's a bigger fee. Are these people irrational?
- Is it weird that I like being on airplanes MORE than the actual vacation? Being at airports, seeing people from different parts of the world together in one location, and the excitement of traveling is awesome. Going on airplanes is fun too because I'm high up in the air, about to go somewhere for vacation. But when I get to my destination, I feel less eager yet I don't know why. I just like being on airplanes. Sure, I like traveling around different countries and tasting different food, too, but being on airplanes is twice as fun for me.
- Frequent travelers, how do you actually carry your passport? It there a certain passport wallet style you like or do you just keep it separate from everything else? What are your tips to make fumbling with documents and passport at the airport? Do you always carry it on your person while abroad? Any tips welcome.
- My name is misspelt on my ID when booking a ticket for a plane, I didn't realize I didn't put my correct info until after I booked it? My name on my ID is spelt chrisitan not Christian, it's not very noticeable but I'm curious should I go to the DMV or just have the airport change my name entirely? How much would it cost?
