Tips
Book international tickets 8–12 weeks ahead — fares jump for Independence Day (late May) and Christmas. Internal flights are weather-sensitive and can shift mornings — leave a buffer day on either end of an interior trip. If transiting US (most JFK/Miami connections), check whether you need a US transit visa for your nationality.
