Yapta is a great resource for this kind of thing; it shows exactly which airlines offer refunds and how much of a price change there needs to be. (Spoiler alert: Only Alaska Airlines is cool, offering a refund for any price drop. Most of the major airlines won't credit you unless there's at least a $200 change.). When you sign up for Yapta and supply your flight details, the service will notify you of any available refund. But it'll be up to you to call the airline and claim it. Looking for the sweet spot on a Boeing 737? Or just want to ensure that your window seat actually has a window and not a bulkhead?

In-flight Wi-Fi: great invention, right? Definitely, but it can be crazy expensive, Prices vary from airline to airline and route to route, but I've learned that it's almost always cheaper if you buy in advance, For example, right now Delta sells a 24-hour Wi-Fi pass for $16, I've seen that same pass for twice the price when purchased in-flight, (Some airlines charge even more.), Again, depending on the airline, you might also get a deal by purchasing your pass from Gogo proper: An all-day pass now runs $19 there (until recently it was $16 -- sigh), and it's good on any Gogo-equipped flight and airline, If olixar colton iphone xs max 2-piece case with screen protector - red you fly a lot, Gogo's Monthly Plan -- $49.95 per month for one device or $59.95 for two -- quickly pays for itself..

Bottom line: Whenever possible, buy Wi-Fi in advance. Chances are good you'll save at least a few bucks. My wife and I have nicknamed ourselves Mr. and Mrs. Badpacker, because we always seem to plan poorly when taking trips. We either forget important things or don't bring enough other things. Apps to the rescue! Packing Pro ($2.99), Packpoint Packing for Sheraton (free) and TripList (free) are among the many apps that can help you get organized even before the suitcase comes out. Packing Pro and TripList rely on categories so you can be sure to remember all the necessary clothing, accessories, toiletries and so on. Packpoint (the Pro version of which is currently being offered free by Sheraton) can connect to apps like Evernote and TripIt; it also checks the weather where you're going so you can pack accordingly.

My advice: Try a bunch of apps and see which one best fits your organizational style, And while we're on the subject of packing, here's a pro tip: Always, always pack an e-reader stocked with books, Even if your phone's dead, you have no Internet and the airport shops are all closed, you'll have an ample supply of reading material, The Boy Scouts certainly weren't thinking about air travel when they advised, olixar colton iphone xs max 2-piece case with screen protector - red "Be prepared," but the motto definitely applies to anyone headed to the airport, Flight delays are a common occurrence, especially during the bad-weather months..

For starters, consider a bit of "trip insurance" in the form of Freebird, a flight-rebooking service that helps you out in the event of a canceled or significantly delayed (more than four hours) flight. If the delay is because the plane you're supposed to be on hasn't arrived yet, use an app like FlightTrack to find out exactly where it is. (The information shared at the gate, if any, is rarely accurate.) That'll give you a much better idea how long the delay is going to be -- and what you might want to do about it.
