When to buy airline tickets 

The best time to book your airfare depends on your destination of choice. Recent data suggests that domestic flights should be booked 28 days before departure, whereas international flights should be purchased between 60 days and 4 months out. Interestingly, Sunday tends to be the cheapest day of the week to book flights in 2024, so buy your plane tickets on the weekend if you're keen to get the biggest bang for your buck. 

How to save money on your airfare 

1. Book in advance: Flight tickets tend to be cheaper when bought well ahead of time. 
2. Fly to a different airport: Flights to certain airports tend to cost less than others. For instance, fares to airports slightly further away from the city center are often cheaper.
3. Travel in the off-season: Summer and winter breaks, for example, tend to push the prices of flights up. If you can be flexible, traveling at off-peak times is a common way to secure cheap flights. 
4. Pack light: Try to take hand luggage instead of a checked bag, for instance. That's not always possible, especially if you're traveling with children, so if you do need to purchase extra luggage, it's usually cheaper to buy it online than waiting until you're at the airport. 

What to look out for 

All kinds of things shape your in-flight experience, such as the cabin class you're flying and whether food and entertainment are provided onboard, for instance. The airline you choose also has an impact: Just use Travelocity's handy filter to refine your search results to specific carriers known for things like their family-friendly approach, such as Virgin Atlantic and Southwest. Don't forget to consider your luggage allowance, too. The permitted baggage weight, for instance, could determine whether you can take an additional change of clothes for the little ones or bring back an extra souvenir. 

Where to visit 

Whether you're traveling with the family in tow or escaping on an adults-only getaway, there's no shortage of amazing destinations to explore by plane. From the beaches of Cancun to the bright lights of the Big Apple, from a sprinkling of Disney magic in Orlando to the charming streets of Vienna, the world is your oyster. Regardless of where you're jetting off to, kids are always amazed by the experience of being above the clouds. 

Cancelling your flight ticket 

No matter how much you're looking forward to your getaway, life has an uncanny knack of getting in the way at the most inconvenient times. If you need to call off your trip because your kid's gotten sick, you have a work commitment, or a scheduling conflict pops up, rest assured that you will probably be able to cancel your Travelocity flight booking at no extra cost. This depends on various factors (such as your airline and fare type), so read through your ticket's terms and conditions to know exactly what to expect.
