Using Travelocity

Although Travelocity does not always have the cheapest fares, by using the flexible fare finder you have the best opportunity to save money.  You can search the flexible fares and find results up to 330 days ahead, which is unique to Travelocity.  Also very helpful is the no restriction searches.  Since you do not have to limit your search to a specific trip length, you will end up finding the best deal possible on flights, hotels, and cruises. 

Travelocity Tips:

  • Search using flexible travel dates.  This will ensure you get the best flight times with the best prices.  By simply rearranging your departure and arrival dates, you can save a lot of money.
  • Always book in advance.  Although your biggest money saver will come using flexible dates, booking in advance will help offset the price of travel.
  • Take advantage of travelers’ reviews.  When booking a hotel through Travelocity you have the luxury of reading traveler reviews.  Posted are both good and bad reviews, which ensures you will get an honest opinion of your choices.
  • Pay attention to auto suggestions for lower fares.  Travelocity will automatically suggest lower fares from nearby airports.   Driving a few extra miles to your destination will usually be outweighed by discount fares.
  • Be sure to designate each passenger’s name.  By leaving the default name of the first passenger, you will be charged a name change fee to correct your mistake.
