Summertime means traveling and unfortunately, air travel and all the related expenses are not cheap. Here are a few money saving tips to help you cut those expenses in the air.

1. Leverage the power of the internet and book online. You will save the fees associated with telephone bookings and charges at the reservation counter.

2. Pack light and carry it on. Avoid the fees for checked baggage by packing light and carrying your baggage on board with you. If you are staying with family or friends, consider shipping your stuff via Fed Ex or UPS to your destination a few days before you leave. This is a great money saving tip if you have kids or a large family and want to avoid the luggage fees.

3. Read the travel agreement carefully. Make sure you read the fine print and pay attention to any hidden fees.

4. Bring your own snacks. Avoid the expensive airport and airline foods. Pack trail mix, nuts, dried fruit, and other snack foods that travel well.

5. Take advantage of credit card rewards. Charge your travel expenses to your credit card with the best rewards program.
