How to pay lessBook 1–3 months out for short-haul, 2–6 for long-haul; fly Tuesday to Thursday; set alerts rather than refreshing; compare one-way fares on two carriers.🧳
Moving dayCompare an extra checked bag (often $75–150) against shipping a box; airlines sell excess baggage in advance for less than at the airport.Planning a scouting trip
- Fly into one hub and out of another if you're comparing cities.
- For the relocation flight, excess baggage often beats shipping for a first move.
- Pet-in-cabin and in-hold policies differ by carrier; confirm before booking.
