Cheap Air Travel Tickets
Start your shopping well ahead of your flight if possible by shopping on the web for
the best price and of equal importance, the best connections.
With the Airlines reporting significant delay rates you will want to be sure you leave
enough time to make a connection especially if you will travel internationally.
Try to have at least one and a half to two and a half hours between planes
domestically and three hours on an international flight in case your plane is late
leaving the gate or arriving late.
You Can Save Time and Money On Air Travel by searching on the
web
but be careful of the layover and connections offered they are
not always reasonable.
..  Confirm your flight with a phone call (or web
click) well ahead of your travel day and then
again 24 hours before flight time. Let them check
your seat assignment (a double check) and
make sure the flight is still scheduled.
Check smaller airports and regionals where savings can be realized in parking and rental cars.  All the
same services may exist, parking,(less expensive) rental cars, bus service, free shuttle from a major city
but without the crush.  Investigate possible savings at satellite airports.

Have
flexibility in your travel days if possible. Significant savings can result if you can change your
dates to accommodate both the flight out and the return.  
Investigate Saturday to Saturday flights. This day is often undersold; business travelers are off and
vacationers have reached their destinations. Mid week flights are often less expensive and the early
morning flights will often have a lower price.
Don't travel on Holiday weekends and school vacation weeks if possible. Think twice about Florida
during Christmas Vacation, Europe in July and August, Mexico at Christmas.
Air Travel is not easy these days with all the security at airports and the struggling airlines cutting back
wherever they can. The tips listed above were collected from a few frequent fliers and veteran travelers. They
might help you travel more comfortably.

Passport:
The passport, once an option for travelers from the United States to Canada and Mexico, is an absolute must
have document for travelers.
Travelers by land and sea should also get their documentation in order; the passport will be mandatory for
any cross border travel anywhere in the hemisphere.  Have at least six months remaining on your passport.

For Air Travelers: Before your flight get the latest security information.   www.tsa.gov   
Don't loose expensive items like perfumes, nail clippers, face creams, medications, etc. at the security
check. Get the latest info on the restricted items at the TSA website and put these items in the required bags,
in checked luggage, or leave them at home.

visa:
Travel to a foreign country may require a visa. Check on the web to see what the requirement is and apply
for the visa well in advance at the country's embassy or consulate if the airline does not supply the visa form.
China and Egypt, for example, require visas and the document might not be available on the plane like it is
on flights to Mexico or to France.  It saves time through customs and immigration if you fill out the document
beforehand.  
Airlines usually supply them during the flight.  These will be the tourist visa.
Try to book your travel in the early part of the day. If you miss a connection you could still have time to
make another. Late in the day and evening there will be fewer flights and by 9:00 PM most airports roll up
the carpet and become uncomfortable hotels.

.  
Book your flight on weekdays if possible. Mid week rates are lower, lowest usually on Tuesday,
Wednesday, or Thursday. Look in to Saturday to Saturday flights

better price. If not, book on line and then call the airline to secure your
seat assignment. and try to get a
seat as far forward as possible.  This accomplishes two objectives: the ride is quieter and more
comfortable and you leave the airplane sooner to make your connecting flight.
You will have a better chance at getting a seat assignment if you have frequent flier accounts with your usual
airlines, this gets you an assigned seat on airlines that hold back assigning seats.
Assigned Seat
Many airlines hold back assigning seats and do so only if you pay extra.  You must factor this into the ticket
price, especially for families who want to sit together.  Shop for airlines that assign seats at the time of
purchase not at the airport just before boarding.
Above all, try to get a seat assignment as early as possible. When airlines overbook, the people without
seat assignments who arrive late could go on standby. If your plane is late leaving the gate or late arriving
you could, through no fault of your own, be arriving for your connecting flight at the last minute.
