How to Find Cheap Flights: The Ultimate Guide
Stop overpaying for flights with these 5 expert tips
Finding a cheap flight isn't just about luck—it's about strategy. With airline pricing algorithms becoming smarter, you need the right tools to stay ahead.
1. Be Flexible with Dates
Flying mid-week (Tuesday or Wednesday) is often significantly cheaper than weekends. Use our flexible date search to compare prices across the whole month.
2. Set Price Alerts
Don't book the first price you see. Set up an alert and let us notify you when the price drops.
3. Book at the Right Time
For Europe, book 3-5 weeks in advance. For long-haul flights, 2-3 months is the sweet spot.
4. Check Nearby Airports
Sometimes flying into a secondary airport and taking a train can save you hundreds of dollars.
5. Use Incognito Mode?
Myth busted! Airlines don't actually raise prices based on your cookies. Focus on using the right comparison tools instead.
