Does the thought of booking a flight make you nervous or even break out in hives because the choices confuse you? Well, on this week's episode, we discuss our best tips for booking a flight.
1. Nover book with a third-party app - This could lead to disaster if something goes wrong, whether the flight is canceled or you can't make your flight. If you go through the third part app, you have to go through them to solve any issues, and you are behind the passengers that book directly to get your issues solved.
2. Join the airline's frequent mileage program - No, we are not telling you to play all the credit card games to get airline mileage. What we are telling you to do is join the program because you will have an easier time getting things solved if you have an account with the airline.
3. We will go over the basic booking categories such as basic economy, economy, refundable fares, regular fares, light fares, and all the other types of fares the airlines will throw at you.
4. There are many types of seats on the plane, including economy, extra-leg room seats, premium economy, domestic first class, business class, and international first class. We will give you the basics.
5. Is there a best day to fly?
6. What are some ways to find the best flight?
7. What about children flying alone?
8. Is it cheaper to fly with connections?
In this episode, we also recommend you check Seat Guru to find the best seats on the particular kind of aircraft you are flying. It will tell you if the row of seats you are sitting in has no window, limited recline, is too close to the restroom, etc. It is an excellent source of information, and this podcast is not sponsored by them.
Let's talk about this episode on our Facebook page.
We also have a Twitter page where we post airfare specials we see or articles important to those looking to travel now or in the future.
