American Airlines Has Fall Flights Starting at $64 Right Now — When to Book

Thanks to the cost of gas, staffing issues, and pilot shortages, it’s not cheap to travel by plane. Here's how to still get the best deals on airline tickets.

8 Strategies to Score Lower Prices on Airline Tickets

Almost every traveler is on the hunt for a deal. Or, if not actively on the hunt, then at least passively interested in savings—especially when it comes to flying.

Free Flight Upgrades: Tips on How to Get Them

Many travelers do their best to book a direct flight to their destination, though sometimes that's just impossible. Whether it's cheaper to have a stopover on your itinerary, someone else booked the flight for you without noting your preferences, or there was simply no choice in the matter, it can add stress to your trip. One of the things that can be an issue when you have a connecting flight is getting the boarding pass for the second leg of your trip. While you usually get this boarding pass when you check in, there are times when you don't, for instance, in the case of some international flights. In this situation, you need to see a gate agent or visit the help desk or customer service.
