How to Make Reservations Using Arrival & Departure Dates Instead of Airline
When booking an airline reservation, you can visit the website of a specific airline or call their reservation number. However, calling individual airlines does not give the ability to compare prices for flights leaving and returning on the days you plan to travel. To book a flight using your arrival and departure date instead of a specific airline, visit a travel website and enter your plans in their format.
