How to Save Money on Plane Flights

There are Do's and Don'ts to picking out a Cheap Plane Flight to or from the Asheville Regional Airport.

Here are the important Do's for traveling on a plane.


The most important 'Do' is to plan ahead. You always measure twice and cut once. That's planning, and the same principal applies to getting ready to fly on a plane. This may be a family vacation or a get-away on your favorite holiday. It doesn't really matter what its for as long as you take into consideration these things

  1. Is your departure date flexible?
  2. Do you have to be back home at an exact time?
  3. Do you want to book in advance?
  4. Would you be willing to drive to a different airport?
  5. How many transfers are you willing to make?
  6. Are you okay with taking a minimal amount of luggage?
  7. Do you need your seats together (only if you aren't traveling by yourself)
If you are okay with leaving or departing at possibly different times than you may have first assumed, you might be able to get onto a ticket that could be a whole lot cheaper. Booking in advance can ensure you a ticket, but waiting around can give you better deals. The Asheville Airport is the closest airport, but you might want to consider arriving or departing out of an airport (that is still close) but not the very closest one to your final destination. Taking a cab, or getting a friend to drive you for an hour can save hundreds of dollars if one airport is considerably cheaper. Some people don't mind having layovers (short or long) and transferring flights. We don't recommend that the elderly, disabled, sick, incapacitated, or sickly do too much transferring (at least without ample layover time) because they run a higher risk of missing their connecting flight. Luggage fees will cost you, big time. Carry on items are free, as well as a personal item, but is this what you want? Decide for yourself. NOTE: For Holiday travelers, you might be taking Christmas/Birthday/other presents of parcels with you. If you don't need to take these things back with you (in the case of presents) make sure not to make the mistake of paying for luggage on the way back if your extra suitcase is empty. If you are traveling with your family or friends, especially little children, its definitely wise to sit together. But if this isn't important, you can save money by taking random seats along the plane. This doesn't apply with all flights out of Asheville Airport, and some plane hosts (Delta, American Airlines, etc) might not even offer discounts.

Get Your Money Back on Filled Flights

Always remember the extra bonus if your flight is full: You can often get a free flight, plus a plush free stay in a hotel with free room service. Jumping on these deals if you are single, or don't mind being separated from your party can reward you handsomely. 

Remember, the Asheville Regional Airport is always welcoming for new visitors! Asheville North Carolina is a wonderful City is Western North Carolina that offers great diversity and culture. Its also a very convenient airport and the size is very easy to handle for anyone. There are fewer problems in small airports and friendlier and more personal attendants and air marshals.
