Some of the Points Chris and Craig Discussed
Summertime is one of the busiest vacation and travel times of the year and with that comes the frustration of trying to save money on hotels and airfare, especially during peak seasonal travel. We often hear about things we can do to help maximize our travel budgets and how we can “shop smarter.” Summertime is certainly one of the busiest seasons for the airline industry and thought we’d ask Chris Lopinto from ExpertFlyer a few questions and get a couple of suggestions for saving money on air travel this summer.
Frequent Flyer miles and the best way to find Award tickets and upgrades
Tips for booking tickets and getting the best rates
Don’t assume that the cheapest fare is the best fare
When to book airline tickets (at least 2 weeks ahead, 4 months ahead, etc.)
Selecting the best seat on the plane (most leg room, easy access, etc.)
Are there any tried and true methods for helping reduce the cost of an airline ticket these days?
For those of us who have thousands of frequent flyer miles we can never seem to redeem, is there a secret to finding Award tickets or even upgrades using frequent flyer miles?
By general rule, is the cheapest airfare usually the best airfare?
Is there a good time of day or day of the week to look for an upgrade?
Are there any tips for avoiding excess baggage and weight costs at the airport?
Aside from First Class or Business Class, is one row of seats on an airplane any different or more comfortable than another row?
