Flights

Why should I use this site?

You should simply use this site because it is extremely unlikely that you will find cheaper flight prices anywhere else. This website is the fastest way to compare the best comparison sites online comparing over 1200 travel sources in seconds. It is highly likely that the website you usually go to to book your flights is automatically searched by one of the search engines we compare. To prove the point do a simple test - First go to a website that you usually book your flights with, get a quote, then come here and conduct a simple search. (making sure you click the tabs to compare multiple sites on the search results page).We are highly confident that our site will equal if not beat the quote that you have obtained!

How do I use this site?

You will see a simple flight search form on the homepage . Simply enter your travel details into the form and press the button which says 'Search for Flights'. After that you will see search results from the best search engine for your route in the main window with clearly visible links to numerous other sites on the top of the screen. All you need to do click the links at the top of the page to compare their offers and ultimately discover the best price (please bear in mind that some results from other sites open in new windows). The more sites you compare the more certain you can be that you have found the best price.

Why do you search 10 comparison sites?

We search numerous travel search engines because it is a fact that no single comparison site will not find the cheapest deal every single time. By giving consumers the ability to search 10 comparison sites we are giving them a larger choice of flights and an assurance that the flight that they eventually book is the cheapest from amongst a number of flight comparison sites. Searching multiple flight comparison sites compares over 1200 travel sources and airlines practically guaranteeing consumers the cheapest flights online. For more information about this please read about us.

Why can't I just go to my favourite travel agent and book my flights?

You can do if you want to, but you may end up needlessly throwing money away. This is because one particular travel agent has limited relations with the airlines and it may be that that particular travel agent does not have any seats left on a flight whilst another travel agent that you have not checked does. The best way to discover seat availability is to use this website which effectively searches 1200 unique travel sources for you. At the end of the day there is no harm in trying your favourite travel site and then coming here to see who wins!

How are you funded and how do you make money?

FlightsFinder.com is privately funded and makes money through referral leads and product transactions. We are currently commercially affiliated with KAYAK, Cheapflights, Momondo, Kiwi.com, Skyscanner, JetRadar and many others. The commission that we make does not affect the final price of your flight whatsoever. You would still find the same flight from a particular provider had you gone to them directly. Please note that we do not have a commercial relationship with some of the flight providers on our site, and they were simply included on the site because of the excellent value they offer to consumers.

What is a Meta Meta Search Engine?

Meta Meta search is a phrase we coined when we first launched our website to succinctly describe the nature of the search we facilitate. A meta search engine is a site that compares numerous travel agents and airlines to find the cheapest flights. Our site compares flights from multiple meta search engines performing a task that can be described as a meta meta search. As Cheapflightsfinder.com is the only site to compare 10 meta search engines we proudly describe ourselves as 'The Worlds First Meta Meta Search Engine For Flights'.

Are the prices on display accurate?

The prices are in general highly accurate. Their may be instances however, where you click through to a provider to see that a particular flight is not available. The chances of this happening are slim but do occur. Simply select another site on our results page if you cannot find the displayed flight.

Can I find cheaper flights offline?

You may be able to find special deals to certain destinations via specialised travel agents offline. However, it would always be advised to look online aswell because of the sheer number of sites which are capable of being searched in such a short time. Obtain quotes online and off so that you can compare prices before you settle on a final option. Our directory of articles is a good place to peruse other avenues where you could find really cheap flights.

Do flight prices include taxes and fees?

Most of the comparison sites we feature on our site include all taxes and fees in their prices. Exceptions to this are extras for checked baggage, seat selection or pet accommodation etc. Make sure you check all extra fees before making your final purchase, over and above the base fare.
