Booking Advice from Your Airport
It’s always a good idea to book early so you can have as much flexibility as possible. Keep in mind, colleges and schools around Wyoming have spring breaks in March, so travel expenses tend to be higher, and tickets book sooner. Our best advice: book your tickets now.
Timing is everything when booking flights. For domestic flights, we suggest booking at least 1-2 months in advance. If you’re traveling in March, we recommend you book in January to avoid price spikes and limited availability. Heading abroad? You’d do best to plan for 2027!
When it comes to air travel, flexibility pays off. You’ll typically find the best airfare on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. Plus, there are always early-morning or red-eye flights, which often cost less. Tools like Google Flights Explore can help you compare destinations, nearby cities, and more. As we said, flexibility pays off, so if you’re open to adjusting your destination and the days you travel, you could save on airfare.
Pro Travel Tip: Make tech work for you! Track prices through Google Flights, Skyscanner, or Capital One’s travel portal. Subscribe to newsletters that notify you of flight deals, explore booking options that allow you to fly into one city and depart from another, and when you find a great fare, try to book directly with the airline. A little flexibility and early planning can go a long way, especially before Spring Break surges hit.
Travel Hacks from an Airport
Follow these steps for the best travel experience as you jet-set for spring break:
- Download your travel materials, including boarding passes and in-flight entertainment, to save you time and data.
- Check in online for your flight to avoid the ticket counter.
