BUY ECONOMY It may be a small compromise of comfort, but economy seats require less space and allow more people on the same flight. Every bit accumulates to make a huge difference. Plus, you can use the extra bucks saved to indulge in a treat after. 3. PICK NEWER AIRCRAFTS Choose airlines that offer the latest range of aircraft such as A350 and A787.
