Look carefully at the “Stops” column and the departure and arrival times to determine whether the flight suits your needs.

What questions should I ask when booking a domestic flight?

Ask whether your ticket will be good on another carrier at no extra charge if your flight is canceled or experiences a lengthy delay, and whether the first airline will pay for meals or a hotel room during the wait.

How early should you get to the airport for a flight?

For domestic flights most carriers require you to be at the departure gate between 10 minutes and 30 minutes before scheduled departure, but some deadlines can be an hour or longer. Check-in deadlines on international flights can be as much as three hours before scheduled departure time.
