5. Get Refunded If Your Flight Goes on Sale
If you purchase a flight and then it goes on sale you can get the difference refunded to you. Yapta is a site that that allows you to put in your flight details, and will alert you when you are eligible for a refund. Airlines that will offer these refunds include Alaska, JetBlue, Virgin America, and US Airways. However, some refunds will come in the form of vouchers and stipends of $100 – $250.
6. Use the 24-Hour Rule
The 24-hour rule is something that most airlines have. It’s a rule that will allow you to cancel your flight up to 24 hours after you’ve booked it, without a penalty. For example, if you book a flight and then check the price again in the morning (after deleting your cookies) and see that it’s cheaper, you can cancel. Then, rebook for the cheaper price.
