Airlines sell only a limited number of seats at the lowest fares, when those seats sell out, the price goes up. Normally, the best way to save money on travel is to book your trip far in advance, but the internet is full of bargains on last-minute travel. There are lots of last-minute discounts to be found because every day airline seats go unsold. The more time you spend researching, the lower the rate you'll get. Airlines allow you to bring up to two pieces of carry-on baggage and two pieces of checked luggage , plus some additional items such as umbrellas, and baby strollers. Additional baggage, or baggage that goes above an airline's weight or size limits, may cost you extra. Typically, you have to check in at least 30 minutes prior to departure for domestic flights in order to ensure that your checked luggage ends up on your airplane. Your airline may have more restrictive rules on check in time, especially for international flights. When in doubt, contact your airline |
