Generally I like to use one or two
airlines for all of my flights. Make sure you sign up for their frequent
flyer programs. It costs nothing and now on most airlines, your miles
never expire. You never know if you might just have enough miles on one
airline to get yourself a free ticket 10 years down the road from now. You
also get benefits from it. For example, on United Airlines, you get 5
extra inches of legroom if you fly a certain amount each year.

| A few tips on how to get a
cheaper flight |
-
Stay a Saturday
night. If you are traveling on a weekend, the cost of your
ticket will drop by about half if you stay Saturday night.
-
Traveling Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday will also drop your ticket anywhere from 10 to
350 dollars.
-
Take red-eye
flights. They may seem annoying, but when you are traveling to
Paris or London, they work just fine. Those tickets will also be
much cheaper than a 9:00am flight.
-
Purchase your tickets
online. Use flight search engines such as Expedia
or Travelocity to find cheap
fares.
-
ALWAYS sign up for the
frequent flier programs with airlines. It costs nothing and you
get lots of benefits.
