Who doesn’t want to know how to make their flights cheaper? Love that feeling of booking a flight? Hate how much it can cost? Me too! So here’s a few of my favourite hacks to finding the cheapest flights out there.
My number one tip above all is delete your search history or search on an incognito tab. Flight providers will know if you searched for that flight recently, and will hike up the prices to make you book sooner.
Timing is everything. Research shows that the cheapest flights come out on a Tuesday, and the most expensive on a Friday. It also shows that midweek deals are the best, so look out as you approach hump day.
Use flight search engines like Skyscanner and Kayak so you can compare times and prices to get the best deal for you. You can also set up a price alert on your preferred route so you can be alerted if the price goes up or down.
Be flexible! If you’re not set on a date and time to travel and aren’t precious about travelling at antisocial times, then you can save yourself loads of money. But maybe not sleep. But it’s worth it, right?
If you can avoid it, don’t travel in the holidays or if there’s a big event going on in the country you’re travelling to. You will never find a cheap flight during this time. Ever. So don’t bother.
Check to see if it’s cheaper to fly into a surrounding airport as bigger airports tend to be cheaper to fly into, especially in Europe. So you might save money by flying into a bigger airport that’s a little further away and then just get a bus or train to your final destination.
Sign up to airline deals and be the first to hear when the best prices go live.
And finally, if extra luggage is not included with your flight, then try to fly with only hand luggage. Not only is this a fun challenge (it is fun I promise) it will also save you bags of Monday. And it will stop you buying stuff when you’re out there, because you’ll have no room to take it back! Double money win.
So those are my set of hacks for finding cheap flights but I’m sure you’ve got some of your own, so please share them in the comments below so we can all learn from each other.
