Take a few minutes to look before you book. You could save hours of travel time and hundreds of dollars.

The next time you’re scheduling a flight online, take a few seconds to compare DLH to MSP when selecting departure and return cities. Then grab your calculator.

If you drive to Minneapolis to save a few dollars on airfare, you have to add:

• gas at $3 per gallon
• the cost of meals
• a night before your flight in a pricey hotel
• parking
• hours wasted in traffic (and if this is a business trip, that’s billable time)
• plus the hassles of long lines and baggage claim areas the size of small cities

It can cost you hundreds to fly out of Minneapolis, and when you fly back, how much would you give to skip that long drive home?
