I flew with Breeze last year, and honestly, I was a bit worried after reading some stories about cancellations. Luckily, my flight was smooth, but I did notice a friend of mine had a last-minute change. Breeze doesn’t cancel flights too often, but things can happen. When I needed to adjust my...

I remember the first time I flew with Delta, I wasn’t sure when I could check in. I arrived at the airport way too early and felt like I was wasting time. Later, I learned you can actually check in online up to 24 hours before your flight. Honestly, it saved me so much stress, especially when I...

The first time I flew with Delta, I remember wondering when I could actually check in because I didn’t want to risk losing a good seat. I learned that Delta usually allows check-in 24 hours before departure, either through the app or online. On one trip, I checked in right on time but later had...

Understanding Southwest Airlines fare classes and codes took me a few trips to really figure out. At first, I always booked the cheapest Wanna Get Away fare without thinking much about flexibility. Then one trip got rescheduled last minute because of work, and I realized how important those fare...

Booking multi-city flights on Southwest is actually easier than it sounds, but I remember being confused the first time I tried it. I was planning a trip with stops in Denver and Phoenix before heading home, and I didn’t want to book separate one-way tickets and mess something up. I used the...

Honestly, I used to believe the rumor that Southwest prices go down on Tuesday, so I’d obsessively check fares every Tuesday morning. After doing that for a few trips, I realized prices fluctuate all week — sometimes Tuesday was good, sometimes Thursday was better, and sometimes waiting only...
