Best Time To Book & Cheapest Months

April offers 33% cheaper fares than summer months, with $149 roundtrips possible on AA. I secured $162 tickets for a March 15 trip—$22 below average—by booking 37 days out. Avoid July and August: prices spike to $299+ due to Navy base events. October is the next cheapest month at $188 average.

Hidden Fees & Traps to Avoid

American Airlines hides a $15 carry-on fee in its base fare ($149), making the real cost $164. This fee isn’t listed in search results, unlike Delta’s transparent $30 baggage fee. I learned this the hard way when my $149 AA booking required $15 at check-in. Always select "carry-on included" during booking to avoid this trap.

Norfolk International Airport (ORF) is 5 miles from downtown. A fixed-price shuttle to downtown costs $12 (12 minutes), while Uber averages $15. The nearest major hub is D.C. (IAD), where AA offers the cheapest connections. Avoid flying into Newport News (PHF) for $35 more—ORF has direct flights from 12 cities.
