Flying Tips: A series of blog posts which give tips on how to save money when flying, dealing with various situations like changing your travel plans, etc.
1. Intro


I’ve traveled a lot by air, from the UK to Australia, from the US to Europe, and on a few business trips. I’ve also had to pay for airfare in the past, when I didn’t have enough money saved up to travel without an airline transfer.
The truth is that flying isn’t so bad; most of the time it’s not even stressful. The problem is that what you pay for isn’t always what you get. If you follow these tips, you can save a lot of money while flying!

1. United Airlines baggage size requirements:
Instead of taking your carry-on bag with you and having it checked-in once per flight, learn how much space United Airlines allows for each item in your bag before booking your flights. This information can be found on their website www.united.com or by calling 1-800-772-1167
2. Booking online can be faster than booking from an agent:
If you don’t want to deal with an agent/travel consultant who is going to help book your trip and make sure everything goes smoothly (that can take days or weeks), book everything online at united.com . You only need one confirmation email for flights at unitedairlines.com (and one confirmation text message). You don’t need an account – all you need is your mobile number (it will ask if you want to create an account). Then just go through all the steps on unitedairlines.com (the first step will be where they tell you if there are any fees) and as soon as they confirm that everything went well, they will send back a confirmation email which will contain all of your information about the flight! And in case something goes wrong during booking or after traveling, this way of doing things does not require keeping track of every step from one airline or another! And if something happens on a flight – like if something goes wrong with your luggage when it arrives on the other side of the world – this way of doing things means that no matter what happens – everything stays exactly as it was planned!
3. Booking online is cheaper than buying upgrades:
If possible, try buying a ticket instead of booking upgrades twice! For example, if I buy my flights via unitedairlines.com , I do not have to buy any upgrades at all because I am using their system and there are no fees


2. Traveling Light


I’m not a traveler, but I have been on many point-to-point flights and I have seen some amazing things.
1. Flying is actually very expensive.
2. Getting to a meeting or event is usually cheaper than flying.
3. Buying a ticket before you go will save money and avoid the lines at the airport.
4. Traveling light is an option, but it can be difficult to find places to store it once you arrive at your destination.
5. Bags are not that big of an issue as long as you don’t get too carried away in one area of your luggage and forget about another item somewhere along the way! This can actually put you in even more danger!


3. How to Save Thousands of Dollars on Your Trip


In a series of blog posts, I’ll be discussing ways for you to save money when traveling on United Airlines.
I’ll talk about:
1. How much you can save for a one way flight
2. How much you can save for an in-flight meal and onboard entertainment
3. How much you can save for your United flight when flying nonstop from Europe to the US
4. What to pack with really simple packing lists (the following is what I use)
5. My favorite travel hacks, tips, and tricks (for my personal life) 6. What I recommend as your favorite hotel chains in the world 7. Which airlines are the best airlines to fly on 8. Which flights are especially good deals
For example: If you want to fly from San Francisco to New York via United, here are some excellent options: $45 roundtrip between San Francisco and New York (with no change fee) $95 roundtrip between Chicago & New York (with no change fee) $69 roundtrip between San Francisco & Denver (including both changes). If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
How Much Can You Save for a One Way Flight? Well first of all, it depends on where you are going and what time of year it is! But once again it all depends on the airline's schedule and whether or not they allow free checked bags! For example: Delta allows free checked baggage if spending over $700 a month ($1,935 per month), so if my wife and I could only spend a total of $700 per month ($1,935/month), we could get 2 full size carry-on bags along with our roller bag without paying an extra charge! This is how much I got this summer: 1st leg 2nd leg 3rd leg 4th leg Carry-on Bag ~$50-$65 ~$50 ~$42 ~$42 ~$46 Total $200+ ~$150-$200+ ~$150-$200+ Here's how much we got in previous years: 1st leg 2nd leg 3rd leg 4th leg Carry-on Bag ~$80-$100 ~$80-$100 ~$80-$100 ~$80-$100 Total $300+ Here's how much we got in previous years: 1st Leg 2nd Leg 3rd Leg 4th Leg Carry-on Bag~40+~40+~40+~40+


4. United Airline website RTW Trip Budget Breakdown for an 18 Month Trip


The budget for a first RTW trip depends on the airline, your dates, and your needs.
The cheapest way to do this might be through Booking.com or Kayak (Check out my guide to saving money on flights for more tips).
If you’re not sure how much you’ll need to spend on your first RTW trip, my budget breakdown breaks down what I needed for a 18 month RTW trip from the United States to Europe (and the rest of the world).
I included multiple airlines and taxes and fees, but you can use this as a general guideline or even as a starting point if you want to be able to compare your own spending with my number.
* * * * * * * * * * * * The full-price fare is listed below in USD. If you make any alterations, please use an equivalent currency: USD - $1 = 1 EUR - €1 = 1 GBP - £1 = 1 RUR - ₴1 = 1 CZK - $1 = 1 YUAN - ¥1 = 11 AED - AED= 0.002 CNH - $4= 0.003 CHF - CHF= 2.80 MXN - $3= 0.003 MXP - $7= 0.0025 SGD $7= 0.0027 JPY$9= 0.0028 INR$9= 0.0028 CNY$13=$0.004 JPY$15=$0 .004 You need to include the cost of baggage between cities and airports in addition to any other expenses such as food and drinks during your flight, so keep that in mind when comparing total costs of flying across cities using multiple airlines or using different methods of booking flights with multiple airlines at different times of year (such as more expensive off-peak times vs cheaper peak times).


5. Where to Start When Budgeting for Your Trip


The most common questions I get about the price of a ticket are:
Where can I find this information? How much is the fare? What if I want to change my flight?
As always, I’d suggest you do your own research and determine how much you’ll actually need to budget for your trip. You can also visit airlines.com for a quick guide on how to plan your trip that includes tips on where and when, as well as an airline-specific budget calculator.
Regarding booking prices for flights, United Airlines doesn’t fly to many places in Canada; the majority of its flights are from the US, so if you are flying directly from the US, please ensure you book your flights in advance! If you have any questions about prices or availability at United Airlines check out their website at unitedairlines.com .
If you need advice on where to start when budgeting for a trip, ask yourself these questions:
What kind of trip am I planning?
What type of bag(s) will be carried? (For example, what clothes do I want to pack?)
What type of tickets will be used? Do I need a refundable ticket or non-refundable ticket? (For example: Do I only need a refundable bag?)
How long do I plan on being away? Will it take me more than 3 days away from home? If so, what will be my pay status during those 3 days away? (i.e.: working or student?)
Will there be any family members who might come along with me on my trip? What kind of vehicles will they drive (i.e.: is there enough room for luggage)? Will we rent cars/trucks/buses/etc.? What will we eat and drink while traveling together at home or out of town? Do we need extra toiletries such as shampoo/conditioner/body wash or food for us to eat while traveling together at home or out of town? Are there any special dietary restrictions that might prevent us from eating together while out of town at home or out of town?) How long will it take me to get back after my trip and what should happen in case something happens while visiting friends in another country that takes longer than expected (i.e.: plane crash)? What is my tolerance level when it comes to not hearing anything back from friends in another country until after my return date (i.e.: have


6. Conclusion


As more people flock to the age of technology, they have a tendency to give up on the thrill of travel, especially when they are bound for places where they don’t know anyone and can’t rely on the internet to give them information.
In recent years, airlines have changed their policies on how much luggage can be checked into a plane. United Airlines has a rule which states that only 3 bags of carry-on luggage can be checked in during a flight (although it is possible to check in 4 bags). Delta recently announced that starting November 1st 2018 (Japan), passengers will be able to fly with no more than 2 pieces of checked baggage.
The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) has also recently issued new regulations which allow passengers to bring up to 2 pieces of carry-on luggage on flights departing from 10 airports in the United States and 1 airport outside the U.S. Virgin America allows passengers (including children) to bring up to 4 pieces of carry-on baggage aboard flights departing from 5 airports in the U.S. Southwest Airlines allows all passengers (including children) to bring up to 3 pieces of carry-on baggage aboard flights departing from 1 airline hub airport within US airspace and 2 airports within Canada or Mexico.
As we move further into an age of technology, this means that many travellers will opt for flying light, renting cars instead, or even resorting back to their own personal vehicles when travelling light — as long as they are aware of how much baggage each airline has on board when flying light.
The final point here is that it is important for travellers who do want more than two suitcases on board their flight: In past years, a lot of airlines would only allow one piece per traveller if you were going light; but this hasn’t been the case for quite some time now in terms of what airlines will allow you to carry on board if you are going light – so make sure you know what your limitations are before you book your ticket!
