Depending on your place of departure, select the ‘Nearby airports’ function (located under the departure and arrival form fields). In certain cases, alternative departure points offer more competitive fares.

You can also use the ‘Show options’ function to filter results for your preferred airline, seating class, nonstop flights and refundable flights. Under ‘Sort & Filter’ to the left, you can even choose the time of day you’d prefer to fly.
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.
Flying during busier seasons can mean steep airfares. If possible, plan your trip outside of popular periods, such as Christmas, New Year’s Eve and Easter.

Travel paperwork such as e-tickets and some identification will be required. To avoid any last-minute delays when you check in, make sure your booking is under the exact name, gender and birth date as indicated on your current ID.
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.

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.
