  • How to Save Money on Flights When Travel Prices Are High

    Gas prices are up, airfare is following, and it’s tempting to just stay home. I’m not ready to do that, and you don’t have to be either. I’ve picked up a few tricks over the years that have saved me real money, and I’ve used each of them more than once. In this post, I break down five of them, from letting Google Flights pick your next destination to flying into alternative airports and catching a train the rest of the way. I’ll share a real example from our upcoming December trip to Boston, where flying Breeze into Providence and home from New Haven costs less than half the price of a direct flight. I’ll also walk through Avelo’s routes out of Wilmington and the bigger trips you can build from each one. What’s your go-to trick for saving on travel? Let me know. I’m always looking to add to my list.
