Generative AI tools can be helpful for idea generation and organization when planning a trip — but when it comes to actually booking airfare, real-time flight data provided by Google Flights or travel agents can help you snag the best deal.
When planning a weekend trip for this July, I made a common travel mistake: I waited too long to book my flight, and prices had already gone up.
It was mid-June, only about a month before I needed to fly to my hometown in the Charlotte, N.C., area for a weekend event, and I didn’t have a flight yet. Normally when I visit family, I pay a little more than $100 round trip with bags; I can usually find a Spirit Airlines round-trip flight for $20 to $50, and wind up paying $30 to $50 for checked or carry-on bags each way. But prices for round-trip tickets on the budget airline had already eclipsed $100, not including bags, which I had expected considering the last-minute query and heightened summer travel demand.
