Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the cheapest days to fly?
Use low‑fare calendars and consider nearby airports. Shifting by 2–3 days can cut prices substantially.
Where should I save vs. spend?
Spend on experiences you value most; save on transit, cooking some meals, and free attractions like parks and viewpoints.
Are budget airlines worth it?
They can be—if you travel light and understand fees. Add baggage/seat fees to compare apples‑to‑apples with legacy carriers.
