### A few of my insights

When I'm struggling to choose a flight and considering a specific airline, I check out where their hub is. I find you get more flight options and potentially better connections in a hub location. And if there's an issue or disruption, you'll have more opportunities to rebook quickly and get the help you might need.

Hubs may also give you more layover choices. I get some peace of mind when there are four more flights out that day, so if I do miss a connection, I'll have a backup plan. And flying through a hub with the airline on the same ticket usually means you won't need to collect your luggage and have a better chance of not needing to change terminals.

When I'm uncertain or have a complex itinerary, I almost always get a ticket that's flexible, refundable or both. Once I realized after booking that the change fee would have been less than what I paid for the flexible ticket, so lesson learned to compare if you're trying to stick to a budget.

My anxiety couldn't handle this. You do you.

### Travel tip

Check the next fare up. I was booking a short domestic flight and figured economy would be fine. But I checked premium economy out of curiosity and discovered that for only $5 more, I could get extra legroom and a blocked middle seat. Sometimes the upgrade is worth a look, even when you don't think you need it.
