Cranky Concierge is the world's premier air travel assistance company, and we wouldn't travel without them. They'll help find the best options for the specific situation, make the reservations, then work to help should schedule changes cause any issues. They're also proactively monitoring our flights making sure we get to where we're going. If we run into flight-related trouble, we can rest easy knowing they're on the case and are working on getting us back on track.
Cranky Concierge recommends keeping these things in mind when looking at airfare:

• Consider booking one-way flights. It may be cheaper or offer additional flexibility to do so.
• Remember, $0 change fees don't mean the same thing as a funds-never-expire gift card. Ticket validity is important.
• Check for a refundable fare. It may not be much more to get something fully refundable.

Of course, they'll be doing that for you, which is why we highly recommend them and encourage you to work with them to secure your airfare. We've arranged for our clients to have special pricing, which is available at http://crankyconcierge.com/kaanect
