Summer flights are about to get a lot more expensive. Don’t wait.

Some domestic fares are already up 10–15%, and summer airfare is already around 19% higher than last year. 

If you’re waiting for prices to drop, you’re probably going to be disappointed. Here’s what to do instead:

1️⃣ Book now, but book flexible. Spend a little more for a changeable ticket. If prices drop, rebook and get the difference back. 

2️⃣ Set up price alerts. Keep watching even after you book. Price drops → rebook. Doesn't drop → you already locked it in.

The people saving on summer travel booked early and stayed flexible. Save this before you book. ⬇️
