]]>Waking up early in the morning is difficult, but the saying, “the early bird catches the worm” couldn’t hold more true when it comes to flights. Early morning flights are usually cheaper because people don’t like getting up and traveling early. There’s also a better chance of empty seats because many people don’t show up for the flights due to oversleeping. Also, the first flight of the day is more likely to leave on time, setting the pace for the rest of the flights.
If you have some flexibility on your arrival time, book flights that are more likely to be oversold like those departing on Friday or Saturday between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. These flights are in high demand so airlines oversell them in the hopes of making money for seats that don’t exist. They take the risk of people misconnecting or not showing up, but they’re obligated to pay high fees and compensation if they don’t have a seat for you.
Airline miles don’t have to be used for a free round-trip ticket—you can use them for a 50 percent discount on a round-trip reservation. This way you’ll earn miles on the ticket you don’t use your miles on, putting miles into your account for the next time you pay out of pocket for a flight.
