  • Reserve your fare as soon as you’ve sorted your travel dates. While you can get lucky on occasion, airline tickets rarely get more affordable as your departure date nears.
  • Think about combining your flights, hotels and car rentals into a package with Orbitz to make your dollar go further.

  • A well-packed carry-on bag is a must-have for any medium-haul journey. With at least a few hours to kill, you’ll want something to keep you busy while in the air. We recommend a good book or magazine, and something to snack on.
  • Aeroplane cabins often get chilly. If you decide to travel during the height of summer, be sure to take an extra warm layer with you.

  • Flexibility is essential. By being open to a few travel dates, you’ll have a better chance of finding a deal on business or first-class airfares.
  • Many low-cost airlines these days have comfortable business or premium-class seating that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
  • Bid for an upgrade. Some carriers hold online auctions that let you put down a price for a seat up the front. You may also be able to upgrade with points earned through a flight loyalty program.
