Avoid Fridays: flights cost 14% more than Tuesday departures. For summer travel, book by April 15 to avoid the $22 price surge seen in 2025 data. Delta's peak pricing reached $472 on July 18, 2025.

During my March 2025 trip, I saw 34% of travelers at CLE baggage counters paying unexpected fees for carry-ons.
