These days, with everyone seemingly going the “cheap” route and trying to save every penny it’s no surprise that the same attitude would eventually spill over into domestic flights. Say you want to spend a little time in quaint and friendly Dallas, Texas but you are on a tight budget, what do you do? Well, that’s simple. You look for a cheap flight to Dallas! With travel websites such as Travelocity and Orbitz, finding the cheapest airline ticket to Dallas has never been simpler.
There is, however, another neat trick often used by savvy travelers. While some airlines don’t really encourage the use of this tactic, Overflying, works best for destinations that are near a specific airline’s hub city such as Dallas. Overflying is simple. All the passenger has to do is to book a flight to a relatively cheaper destination (one that is cheaper than a direct flight to Dallas) and make sure that said flight has a stopover in Dallas. Once there, the passenger would simply deplane in Dallas and not board the connecting flight.
