Be Flexible with Your Departure Airport<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, flying out of a secondary airport saves more than you think. For example, flying from <\/span><b>Oakland instead of SFO<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><b>Newark instead of JFK<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can cut prices by 20\u201330%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re short on time, going a bit out of the way to catch a cheaper flight can pay off.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Check_Airline_Websites_Directly\"><\/span><b>3.

That\u2019s when fewer people travel, and airlines lower fares to fill vacant seats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A recent <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/media.hopper.com\/research\/summer-2025-travel-outlook\"><b>Hopper 2025 Fare Report<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> revealed that midweek last minute tickets can be up to <\/span>18% cheaper<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than weekend ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Sign_Up_for_Fare_Alerts_and_Newsletters\"><\/span><b>5.
