Just when it seemed like there was nothing left to enjoy about air travel, www.CheapOair.com sought the advice of its loyal customers to find out how they make flying fun and comfortable:
1. Act like a toddler: Bring a “blankie” and small, inflatable pillow and wake up rested at your destination.
2. Be like a camel: Bring an empty water bottle through security and fill it at a water fountain near your gate.
3. Make your seatmates jealous: Don’t pay $5 for stale bread and cheese. Pack a turkey wrap with fresh cheese, avocado and yummy sides. Fresh popcorn, pitas with hummus or even your favorite chocolate bar.
4. You shouldn’t have to amuse yourself, but you kinda have to: Bring your own headphones to watch the in-board movie or listen to music.
5. Use your luggage as a workout: If you have to pay $25 to check your bag, get your money’s worth. Before checking the bag, use it for arm raises or use it to hold an impromptu step class. $25 is much cheaper than paying for a personal training session.
CheapOair experts also suggest flexibility when booking airfare on the site. If you aren’t married to your exact travel dates and departure and arrival airports, the potential for saving money is huge. Additionally, if you can plan a trip farther in advance and try and travel during the “low season,” savings will be paramount.
