Need to fly tomorrow? Don’t panic—there are ways to save. Apps like Hopper and Skiplagged specialize in last-minute deals. Flying budget airlines can also help if you’re not picky about legroom. Check nearby airports as well—flying into Newark instead of JFK, or Oakland instead of San Francisco, often saves money.
Also, consider “hidden city” ticketing: book a longer route with your destination as the layover. It’s cheaper, though risky (skip only if traveling with carry-on).
Pro tip: Sign up for airline newsletters—last-minute flash sales are common for unsold seats.
