Tips for flying cheaper in 2012

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

I just flew from Jackson,WY to San Francisco on Delta with three, larger sized, wheeled carry on bags. The flight was full so they checked them for free at the gate and there was no charge when I picked them up at baggage claim. I didn't have to lug them through the airports and they were happily waiting for me when we landed. The risk here being , your flight may or may not be full so you cant always count on the airline providing that service. I agree that this article is lacking on many levels. Most folks I know need to travel during a certain time frame, ie: an out of state wedding, a big meeting for work, a family vacation where specific reservations and therefore dates have been made in advance, and do not have the luxury of "being flexible" with their travel dates. Also, yeah if you'd like to have ALL the attention from airport security please try to sneak in bottles of alcohol. Really?
