best time of day to buy cheap airfare

What's best day of the week, or time of the day, to buy fares,Bill Miller, VP of Strategic Partnerships for CheapOair.com, has been making nationwide headlines offering travel tips for all types of travelers including budget travelers. Today's economy is challenging and leisure travelers on a budget are worried about taking a much needed vacation. Mr. Miller has provided the "how to's" of cheap travel to allay their concerns.

When asked "How do budget travelers book cheap airfare during peak season?" Mr. Miller said, "The day and even the time you book could save you big cash. Always check airline tickets on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday overnight. Airlines will update their fares through what is called a Global Distribution System (GDS) during this time and that could make a big difference on your wallet in the end." Mr. Miller also added, "Another good tactic to add to your quest for low fares is to sign up for email fare alerts. you can sign up for airfare alerts-- from Farecast, Yapta, and FareCompare, and emails can be sent to you on a regular basis to inform you when fares are increasing or decreasing."

Regarding leisure travel, Mr. Miller explained, "Leisure travel has become affordable now more than ever before. Many luxury hotels and resorts are lowering rates due to the poor economy and airlines, while not as low as 2009 fares, have many more affordable deals right now than in recent history."

Mr. Miller's quick tips for booking cheap tickets include: "Always be flexible with your search, as it has been proven that people who can leave a day earlier or later wind up saving big bucks in the end. Going to an airline direct will limit what you see to just that airline. Searching across multiple airlines provides you the best opportunity to get the best fare available."

He also added, "If you're looking to travel this year, but just do not have the time or funds, why not take a vacation closer to home. While the word 'staycation' might turn some people off, you can actually make the most out of travel without going far away. Two ways to get a break from everyday life without going into major debt are to look for deals under $199 for a weekend getaway to a nearby state or stay at a hotel in your own city."

Virgin America special requirements for pet travel

Virgin America is a pet-friendly airline that accepts cats and dogs in the Main Cabin of the aircraft. Pets checked as baggage are not accepted. Guests with pets cannot be seated in the Main Cabin Select seats (either exit row or row 3) or the First Class cabin. Also on connections with Interline partners, pets are not allowed.

Each animal should be carried in its own kennel (provided by the guest). We allow one pet carrier for each purchased seat. Puppies and kittens must be at least 8 weeks old and weaned. The total weight of the animals and kennel cannot be above 20 pounds. The guest wishing to carry on a cabin pet must present a veterinary certificate dated within 30 days prior to departure that indicates that the shots are current and that the date of birth is listed and is verified to be greater than 8 weeks of age.
Seat dimensions may vary from airline to airline, and on Virgin America, kennel dimensions cannot be more than 18 inches long x 15 inches wide x 8 inches high and must fit directly under the seat in front of the guest. The kennel must have proper ventilation, a floor designed to absorb and retain solids or liquids, proper fabrication to prevent the escape of the pet(s) and prevent any part of the pet(s) from protruding, and plenty of room for the pet(s) to move freely. It is also recommended that a soft sided case is used in lieu of a hard sided case. Pets must stay enclosed in their kennels while onboard and in the airport terminal.

We add a $100.00 fee per segment to the price of your reservation for the transportation of each pet.

Approved carry-on pets include cats and dogs, and yes, carry-on pets count towards a guest's carry-on baggage allowance. Please call reservations at 1.877.FLY.VIRGIN (1.877.359.8474) to make arrangements for traveling with pets.
