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.
