WSJ Your Money Briefing · It’s Not Too Early to Book Your Holiday Flights · 5 Oct 2022 podcast

So rather than just booking through the main airline that you look at, you can book through one of these partners rather than the carrier that is operating the route. matched

And if you notice that a flight is being operated by another airline when you're booking, be sure to compare prices directly with that carrier beforehand by going to their booking sites. matched

As always, you should be careful when trying to resolve customer service issues. matched

So that's one big downside is trying to figure out who to contact if an issue does arise. matched

And the policies around those never-ending cancellations and delays depend on the airline operating the flight, not the one that you booked with. matched

So for international flights, this can make a big difference. matched

For the holidays, if you can be flexible on time, it can be better for you financially. matched

For example, early morning flights might be the best option because they can be cheaper and they're also less subject to the delays that pile up throughout the day. matched

Usually points experts will say not to use any points or miles redemptions on domestic economy bookings. matched

But there is an exception during the holidays, and that's because prices can be sky high. matched

So you should take a look at the cost. matched

And if you're looking at a flight that typically costs, you know, $200, $300, and you see it for $900, $1,000, then turn to your points and miles. matched

You might not be getting the optimal redemption, but it will save you a lot of money compared to shelling out for a really expensive ticket home. matched

That person has already done something right because they kept checking the price even after they booked, which is important. matched

So if you do notice that that happens, you can cancel your flight because airlines have pretty generous policies right now when it comes to rebooking. matched

So if you see a cheaper flight emerge, then cancel your original ticket and then use the credit that you get from canceling the flight to book the new fare. matched

And then you'll still have some leftover to use for a future trip. matched

There sure are. matched

So according to travel data from Kayak, it can be cheaper to go abroad for the holidays than it can be to stay in the U.S. matched

So, for example, it costs about $432 to fly from Chicago to Lisbon during Thanksgiving week. matched
