7 Ultimate Hacks For Finding The Cheapest Flights Possible

Traveling is a lifestyle you can choose that will not empty your wallet that easily! Despite the fact that traveling is so much fun, it can be a stressful and troublesome process to find the cheapest flights and save some coins. There are a few steps you can follow that will help you find the cheapest flight possible – but remember to be patient and triple check if necessary! Traveling opens your eyes, mind and your heart, and it is definitely worth every coin! Once wisely done, you can both enjoy and save up! Here is the ultimate list of hack for finding the cheapest flights!

1. Find The Best Search Engine

Choosing the search engine is fundamental since it gives you a wide spectrum of options and compares the deals for you! You don’t necessarily need to use incognito mode and private browse when searching for flights. However, what I personally find interesting is that the prices sometime vary when I look for tickets in a private mode vs public mode. It does not always help, it depends on the search engine and your past actions.


2. Choosing Cheap Places To Go To

If you’re unsure of where you want to go and which place is currently the most affordable then enter ‘anywhere’ while searching for tickets and see what’s on offer. The website, such as Skyscanner, allows you to do that and it is definitely worth trying since it gives you an overview of the budget places you can go to in this particular moment.

3. Finding the Cheapest Airports To Fly To

If you’re flexible, that’s great – it will make things easier for you! Flexibility will give you a vast array of options for finding the cheapest flights. Most big cities have more than one airport, and very often choosing the least popular airport may save you hundreds! Also, flying to the city located closest to your destination and later taking a bus or train might be an option to consider too!

4. Time Of The Year Matters

Time of the year really does matter when it comes to budget traveling! It won’t be a surprise if I tell you that off-season is way more affordable and easy on your wallet. Various search engines have options which allow you to find truly the cheapest flights possible! For instance, Skyscanner gives you the option to choose ‘cheapest month’ so that you have a bigger picture of when and where you can fly to for the minimal price of tickets!


5. Book In Advance

I’m adamant you’ve heard this before but it is immensely important to reserve your flights ahead! The price tends to be roughly the lowest when bought 5 to 6 weeks before departure! However, it is crucial to keep an eye on the ticket prices as it does really vary depending on many factors!

6. Plan A Layover

This is such a great hack! Booking one-way tickets is not only less pricey but it gives you various options to pick from! Why not plan a layover and make the most of the time you spend there? Go and sightsee during your layovers – this will save you lots of money and, most importantly, will broaden your horizons!

7. Backpacking

Backpacking is the greatest teacher! It helps you understand the culture better by meeting new people and exploring on the budget. When you interact with locals and go where locals do, this is how you truly get the most of your trip! You learn and you grow! However, backpacking may help you in many other ways too – you save up on your luggage which means no extra costs, and you carry only what you need!
