Travel tips.
 

I was about to book a flight to vegas and someone told me to wait until tomorrow (tuesday) to save a few bucks. This got me thinking, anyone have any other tips for savings or stuff when traveling?

edit: i guess tuesday is cheaper than monday which is cheaper than friday-sunday. Probably has to do with how many people book over the weekends.

If you're in the LA area check out flying to/from ONT instead of LAX. One of the least busy airports I've been too.

I'm incredibly fast going through security. Like, nobody is faster. My belt is off, electronics/watch/change in my carry-on, shoes are ready to slip off, laptop out. I rule.

This isn't really relevant to your OP, just wanted to say how awesome I am at security.

Some questions:

1. Does this save you time or do you still wait for the idiots in front of you?

2. Did you learn this as a male stripper?

3. Does this save you money?

4. Whats your 40 yrd dash time?

5. Do you pressure your travel mates to keep up...perhaps pushing for a race? or maybe offering to make out with a dude (remember your not gay) in order to get them fired up?

It this true? The only consistently obvious price difference I've observed involves a Saturday overnight stay. I've never noticed price discrimination between flying on Mon or Tues. This logic also totally flies in the face of charging a premium for business passengers.

it can, b/c I pass the people who are still lacing up their hiking boots or figuring out where their hat is. if I need to get to the gate in a hurry, I just saved 10 seconds!

I ran 4.7 in high school, but that was 20 pounds ago.

I usually just 'sigh' at them condescendingly. It lets them know how superior I am in a passive/aggresive manner.
