Cheap Flights

The first and most crucial element in finding a cheaper flight is knowing which days are more affordable. You can discover this using our calendar function by clicking the 'flexible dates' option or 'date grid' icon on our search result pages. Secondly, comparing multiple sites on those optimal dates is essential to see if you can save even more money. Our search engine allows you to efficiently compare some of the best search engines online, from KAYAK to Skyscanner to Google flights, to ensure you get all the deals.

Use our calendar to decipher this, or go to our destination pages to get a good idea of the cheapest flight by month. Generally speaking, January and February are the most affordable months to travel, but passengers can get bargains at any time of the year.

Some of the cheapest airlines in the world are - Tiger Airways (Far East), SpiceJet (India), Air Arabia (Middle East), WestJet Airlines (Canada), Air Asia, JetBlue (North America), Ryanair (Europe), EasyJet (Europe), and Southwest Airlines (North America).

Our flexible search currently offers two options. One will tell you the cheapest time to fly 'anywhere' in your chosen month, and the other will tell you the cheapest time to fly to a city you select. For the first option, choose' Flexible—search everywhere' in the search form, then select your degree of flexibility. In the other, input a city, then select your degree of flexibility. Our calendar will then pinpoint the cheapest dates to fly on.

Multiple studies by various flight search engines, including ours, have shown that flying mid-week on a Tuesday or a Wednesday is 'mostly' cheaper than flying on other days.

The optimal time to book your flight is around the 2-month mark. Other studies have shown that the optimal time is around 54 days before departure. Generally speaking, these are the best times to begin thinking about flying, leaving any later risks, price increases and limited availability.

There is no single magic website that finds you the absolute best deal every single time. You must compare multiple sources to ensure you get all the information. Some of the best sites include comparison sites. However, we always recommend searching more than one comparison site. The FlightsFinder dashboard makes these comparisons and searches effortless.

It depends. Booking two separate flights can be more economical for short-haul budget flights. For the long haul, booking a round-trip with the same airline is generally cheaper than booking two separate one-way flights.

Certainly! Our travel experts are on standby to 'beat your price' and get you a great deal. They require a small upfront payment, which will incentivize them to begin their hunt.

Beware of extra fees, such as checked luggage charges, Seat selection fees, and additional processing fees. Also, expect less plane service, such as free meals and in-flight entertainment. Finally, some cheap airlines depart from much smaller airports with fewer amenities for travellers.
