The holiday season means seeing family & friends and being thankful for everything you have. It also means Sports, Sports and more Sports. Unfortunately, travling during this holiday season, no matter what your go, is an unavoidable nightmare:long lines, rude people, expensive tickets, delayed flights and stressful phone calls. So here is some advice for the travel season.
When buying tickets, figure out what a good price should be - there are plenty of sites to help you with that - and be flexible on dates and times to improve your odds of getting close to that time. I use tools like Fare Compare, which has historical data of what fares have been in the past. Also Bing Travel can help predict when they think fares will go up or down in the coming time. Adjust your expectations to your search and when you see your price, take it, dont wait
The biggest mistake you can make when traveling is choosing a flight at peak time. If you can be flexible, you can save hundreds of dollars. Try flying Tuesday Night or Thursday Morning instead of Wednesday. Also, look for last minute deals. If an airline doesnt sell out its seats it allows on standby passengers which go for free, they would rather fill up the seats with paying passengers.
If your flight is cancelled because of a mechanical breakdown or crew scheduling, you should be provided a hotel and food accomidations, if its for weather your on your own. If you need to rebook a flight, go to the kiosks and to get ahead of everyone else trying to do the same thing asyou.
