Sometimes you may not be aware of all your options when figuring out airline travel destinations. Many cities are close enough to one another (especially in the east coast) that you may just find a way to your destination, even when the city you intended to go to has no seats on your travel day. A great site to see if you can use an “Alternative Airport” is (LINK) http://www.alternateairports.com/ (http://www NULL.alternateairports NULL.com/) .

     At alternateairports.com you can check out a long and comprehensive list of Alternate airports next to the city name (airport name) of most major cities in the U.S. (Like the example shown for Los Angeles – LAX)

     Using the listed example, did you know that you could fly into Long Beach on an airline like JetBlue instead of crowed LAX possibly save a lot of money on airline tickets or fly into Burbank airport on Southwest and be just up the road from major tourist sites like the NBC Studios (Jay Leno) or Universal Studios Tour. 

     I have been a road warrior for many many years now, and  alternateairports.com has come in handy more times than you can believe.
