Airfare Alerts Really DO Work!

No one can predict when airfares are headed up or down..and if we could we surely wouldn't be writing this article.  Even if you knew all of the variables involved in flight pricing it would nearly impossible to track them all.  Many websites offer free email alerts when fares hit your "sweet spot."  But don't wait around for a better deal to come along - act fast!  These airfare deals can last days, hours and even minutes.  Not every alert program offers the same options, the same airlines or the same number of routes you are watching.  If you're flexible in your travel dates and want to go only when the price is lowest, sign up for alerts that show you the lowest possible prices - they do work!  Read more at:  www.airfarewatchdog.com/alerts

 Don't Be Late! Arrive On-time!

To get a general idea of when you should arrive at the airport, add the required check-in time below to the current security wait time. It is your responsibility to arrive at the airport with sufficient time to complete all ticketing, baggage check, and security clearance procedures and to arrive at the gate ready to board by these deadlines.


We recommend you arrive at the airport 75 minutes prior to departure for travel within the U.S. (must be checked in 30 minutes prior to departure). If you're traveling within the United States and you're checking bags, your baggage must be present at the check-in counter and checked in at least 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time.
