How To Book Your Flight
« on: December 01, 2007, 06:57:49 AM »
    * Book Nonstop flights - Don't be fooled by the words "direct flight." If it doesn't say "nonstop," the flight makes more than one stop. Obviously, the more stops the flight makes, the more opportunities for it to be delayed.

    * Compare the on-time performance of flights serving your route - the cheapest flight might also be the one that is chronically late. So use FlightStats.com to compare the performance of the various carriers and flights serving the cities you expect to visit. Chances are, you can find a higher quality flight for the same money or only slightly more.
    * Fly early in the day - Many travel consultants say fly before 4 p.m. Delays tend to ripple through the system throughout the day. If there are travel interruptions early in the day, later in the day they only tend to get worse. Avoid booking the last flight of the day. If that flight is canceled, you may end up staying overnight.

    * Fly midweek - At most airports, there usually is lighter travel on Tuesday and Wednesday than on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

    * Book an "originator" flight - If your flight is an originator flight, it begins at your specific airport at a specified time. These flights are less likely to be delayed because they are first 'out of the system.' You won't be waiting for another flight that may be delayed. You can find out if your flight is an originator flight by calling the airlines and asking if the flight originates in your gate city. Don't assume that if you're departing from a large hub like Chicago on an early morning flight, you're on an originator flight. Call before booking.

    * Think about the direction of your flight - If you're flying to the East or Gulf coasts, book departures early in the day. In general, storm systems throughout the country tend to kick up later in the day, so avoid early evening departures.

    * Avoid major hubs - With the exception of booking originator flight per the above rule, if you're flying to and from major hubs like Atlanta, Chicago O'Hare, and New York, you might avoid delays if you book flights at secondary airports near these hubs. Use the web resources listed above to check on time records of all the major airports. If traveling to San Francisco, you should fly into Oakland. When flying into New York, go with La Guardia or Newark. You should avoid flights going through O'Hare and Atlanta altogether if at all possible.

    * Don't book flights with tight connections - Even if flights are completely filled, airlines don't have an obligation to hold flights for passengers making connections.On some flights that took off later than scheduled, onboard flight attendants may call the passengers' connecting flights to keep the connecting flights informed of the late arrival. This is more apt to happen when a connecting flight is the last flight of the day and it affects several passengers on the delayed flight.
