For example, that means you could easily save $40 on a roundtrip flight.If you flew even just five times a year, that’s already $200.Still, it’s worth checking with your preferred airline before trying this strategy.Many TikTok users pointed out that various companies, like Delta, do not charge a separate fee for booking online.However, other users called the hack “game-changing” and were excited to try it.“Been doing this for years,” one user added
