Air Travel In Florida

There are so many airlines out there... and so much information floating around. How do you choose an airline without wading through it all? Comparison sites like Orbitz and Travelocity are two of my favorites — where just a click serves up several available airline flights at one time. If you already know the airline you will be flying, About's Air Travel Guide has put together helpful essentials for each major airline around the world — websites, phone number, links to seat maps and airline code.

Choosing a flight to or from Florida is a matter of time and economics — booking flights as far in advance as possible can save a family hundreds of dollars. At the same time, while every region of Florida is served by major airlines, choosing the right airport can save time and vacation dollars as well. Smaller regional airports may be served by fewer airlines, but those airlines often offer great deals to fill planes. Regional airports may also be closer to your final destination, saving on those rental car miles and high priced gasoline.

On the other hand, sometimes it pays to drive farther to the airport, or so says About's Budget Travel Guide, Mark Kahler. In his article Shopping for Airports, he simply states, "Logic often has little to do with budget travel." He proves his point with specific money-saving examples.
