Despite high gas prices and skyrocketing airfares, there are a few options for smart travelers.

to meteoric air fares, the cost of travel in the U.S. is skyrocketing — compounded by huge reductions in capacity. Airlines are cutting more flights from their schedules because they have been over-scheduled and understaffed. As a result, virtually every flight is full, andMany hotels — also challenged by staffing problems — have capped occupancy at 60% because they do not have the staff to support the other 40% of their room inventory, which they could easily sell.

If you have a lot of frequent flyer miles lying around, it might seem like a good time to redeem them is when ticket prices are high, but not this summer. Airlines have been increasing the number of eligible miles needed to redeem frequent flyer award tickets. The best strategy for your unredeemed miles is to look beyond Sept. 15 and another 270 days after that. Preliminary demand projections show a huge drop after Sept. 10, when booking patterns change. With a huge number of open seats, that's when award availability suddenly becomes noticeable — not only with available award tickets, but with more reasonable redemption levels.When booking tickets, don't necessarily think round-trip.

It's also which U.S. airports have the lowest fares. And in many cases, they're also less expensive taxi rides or parking. Consider Long Beach instead of LAX, Providence instead of Boston, Baltimore instead of Washington, Oakland instead of San Francisco, Milwaukee — which is thought of by many as Chicago's third airport — and my favorite, Long Island MacArthur Airport in Islip, New York, a great alternative to either JFK or LaGuardia.
