Question: My trip is coming up and I need to get there affordably. Where can I find cheap flights?

Kayak : Useful for comparing multiple booking sites at once and using their "Hacker Fares" which combine two one-way tickets on different airlines for a cheaper round trip.

KAYAK — good for comparing fares and searching flexible dates; its flexible-date search can check up to ±3 days.

- Save money on your next flight!!✈️ 1. Be flexible with your trip! The difference of a day can be the difference of hundreds of dollars. Go Friday, not Saturday. Go off-season. Go wherever it is cheapest. There are ALWAYS deals when you’re flexible. The more flexible you can be, the more you’ll save. 2. Use points and miles Points and miles are the best way to get a free flight as you can. Travel credit cards offer huge welcome bonuses, access to airport lounges, travel insurance, and much more. If you’re not collecting points for flights, you are really missing out. (Comment THPAGE and I’ll send more info!) 3. Search multiple websites Not all flight search websites are created equal. They all have their pros and cons. Some don’t list budget carriers while others may obscure foreign carriers. Or they might send you to a sketchy third party rather than the airline. Some buy different fare classes than others. In short, be sure to search multiple booking sites before you purchase. My three favorites are Google Flights, @Momondo, and @Skyscanner. 4. Keep an eye out for special deals There are ALWAYS flight deals happening. You just have to keep up with them! Sign up for (opens in a new tab) · <1%
