Avoid Extra Costs When Traveling By Air, Says ParkSleepFly.com
Suffield, CT – Getting to the airport on time, finding reasonably priced, secure airport parking, and departing as scheduled are some of today’s toughest challenges. People who flew frequently just a decade ago today would rather avoid hassles like heightened airport security, long waits in line, missed flights, and new amenities fees. Many find it hard to afford increasing air travel expenses. Some delay their trips or defer them altogether as a new frugality sets in nationwide.
Jack Lambert, managing partner of ParkSleepFly.com, Inc., would like people to be confident about traveling by air within their budgets. “Rather than cut back or eliminate business or leisure travel, there are ways for companies and individuals to effectively manage their travel costs in a challenging economic environment,”
Get the best value in airfares
Go online to compare a vast array of ticket prices. Don’t be rigid about the time of day you want to travel. It’s better to have a general time (morning, afternoon, or evening) in mind and investigate three or four departures offered during that period. Moving your departure or return time by just an hour can save on your ticket price.
Be flexible on days and routes
Check if a particular flight may be cheaper on a Tuesday than a Monday or a Saturday instead of a Sunday. Savings from moving your departure or return day can give you what amounts to a free one-day “vacation”
Reduce luggage, in-flight amenities and standby fees
Do research online before your trip to understand and compare which airlines offer what amenities for free or at cost, including luggage checks, in-flight entertainment, meals and snacks, pillows and blankets. Limit yourself to carry-on baggage, and bring your own comfort items. Competitively, more airlines are starting to reduce a la carte fees. Make sure you won’t need to change to a different flight on the day of your scheduled departure or it could cost you $50.
Avoid pricey long-term airport parking lot fees
Consider a park and fly package that includes free parking and shuttle service. Lambert’s website www.ParkSleepFly.com offers pre-flight hotel and airport parking at special discounted rates. A package price includes a night’s stay at an airport hotel, free shuttle service to and from the terminal, and 7 to 14 days or more of free parking.
