Top Tips for Booking & Enjoying Your Next Flight

Whether you are a seasoned traveler or a novice, we could all use some extra tips and tricks when it comes to booking our next flight.

When should I book my flight to get the best deal?

How far ahead should I book my flight?

What should I pack in my carry on bag?

Airplane food, yeah or nay?

Traveling can be an exciting and memorable experience. But there are numerous decisions to make before you even get to the airport, and each one can have a significant impact on your trip.

I’ve teamed up with Quill.com to offer tons of tips to make your next flight more enjoyable and affordable.

Flying decades ago? It was full of glamour and fun, with amazing meals, great seats, and better service.

Flying today? Well, flying today is a trial in patience and endurance. You’re lucky if you get food, and that food is usually just a tiny bag of pretzels. You’re lucky if you get a drink, and it better be the non-alcoholic kind.

And when it comes to legroom or comfy seats? Those too are a thing of the past.

However, just because airlines have radically changed doesn’t mean you still can’t have a good flight. You just have to know what to look for and what to ask for.

For example, booking far ahead – like, seven weeks – is going to pay off for you in a lower price (which means you might have money to buy an in-flight drink).
