Do you take repositioning flights? Repositioning flights are flights you book separate from your main itinerary to get you to an another airport in order to take the flight to your final destination. This often occurs where it is much cheaper buying those tickets separate than buying it all together. As a traveler, strategically repositioning myself to major flight hubs allows me to access better flight deals and opportunities. By being flexible with my travel plans and considering flights to and from these key hubs, I can take advantage of discounted rates and special offers that airlines often provide. My husband and I have done this multiple times as we live in a non hub city so we have to get to an international airport. We have done repositioning flights to get to Denver, LAX and multiple times to SeaTac. Is it a risk? Of course it is but there are ways to lower the risk by doing this. 1. Make sure there is 4–5 hours between your repositioning flight and your flight to your final destination. This just builds in some time for delays. 2. Make sure the repositioning airline has another flight leaving before your next flight. That way if they cancel your flight you still have an opportunity to get on the next flight. 3. Try to buy your repositioning flight with points or at least main cabin. This will give you greater flexibility if something has to be rebooked. 4. If you can drive as back up that is a fantastic option.
