If you travel regularly for business or pleasure, you probably know a lot of the standard travel tips, like booking early and keeping your luggage weight under 50 pounds to avoid an extra weight fee. But for the savvy traveler, here are some lesser-known and offbeat tips to help you save money and reduce travel stress.

Sign up for the TSA PreCheck program. If you travel a lot, you may want to check out the Transportation Security Administration’s PreCheck trusted traveler security screening option. PreCheck members are eligible for expedited security checks at participating airports. More than 336,000 passengers have already passed through the PreCheck lane. PreCheck is currently available at New York’s Kennedy, Dallas/Fort Worth, Miami, Las Vegas, Minneapolis and Los Angeles airports for members of American Airline’s AAdvantage program, and at Atlanta, Detroit, Las Vegas, Minneapolis and Salt airports. Lake City for Delta SkyMiles. members The TSA announced that US Airways, United Airlines and Alaska Airlines will begin operating PreCheck later this year. PreCheck is also available to members of Customs and Border Protection’s Global Entry program.

Please note the new air ticket pricing rules. Earlier this year, the Department of Transportation (DOT) passed new rules requiring commercial airlines to be more transparent in how they advertise their ticket prices. In the past, airlines advertised only the base price of the ticket. Now, airlines must disclose to ticket buyers the full price of the ticket, including the roundtrip fare, plus any required federal taxes, airport and any other fees a passenger must pay. Please note that when purchasing a ticket online, the advertised price now includes government and airport taxes and additional fees. Please note that now, because previously hidden fees are included in the advertised price of a ticket, what we consider a good price for a ticket will be more than in the past.

Save money with smart travel apps. Are you going on a road trip? With gas prices the way they are, take advantage of technology. There are plenty of smartphone apps out there. Check out GasBuddy, FuelFinder, iGasUp and TripTik Mobile to find gas stations with the best prices. Use Route4me, Waze or Google Maps Navigation to find the most fuel efficient route. RoadAhead for iPhones lets you know your location on the highway and the prices of services and gasoline at the next exits.

When traveling abroad with your smartphone, please inform your service provider so that it is activated for international use. To avoid high pay-as-you-go rates, use the data/Internet access portion only when you need to check email. Use free Wi-Fi whenever possible, but never to access bank accounts or personal financial information. Don’t connect to networks called “free public Wi-Fi.” These are usually unsecured networks created by hackers. Also, be aware of roaming charges, especially in European countries.
