Small changes to travel dates or departure times can change the practical experience of a trip. Consider commute time, connections, local arrival time and your own schedule.
1. Compare travel days
Look at the days that fit your plans rather than choosing a date in isolation.
2. Compare departure times
Early, midday and late departures can create very different airport and arrival experiences.
3. Consider local time
For longer journeys, local arrival time may affect sleep, meetings or ground transportation.
4. Review the full itinerary
Check every segment and connection before deciding which schedule works best.
