Breaking records: Experts say summer travel season is already heating up

There is a way to get flight credits which essentially means getting your money back, after you book your travel.

Here's what to do:

  • Head back to the airline app about a few weeks or even a month after booking a flight.
  • Check to see if the flight price,for the exact same flight time has gone down.
  • Do this by hitting the option to "change your flight" and then choose the exact same flight time.
  • If the price is lower, you can rebook the same flight on your app and you'll get a flight credit for the price difference.
  • There are also third party apps that monitor flight changes.
