Which website do you use to book flights at the best price?

Question

Ryan Hoover · Accepted Answer

I default to Hipmunk when searching for flights.  It sorts flights by "agony" which takes into account departure/arrival times and obnoxious layovers.

Mark Kiner · Answer

Very simple, compares basically every airline flying from destination, can do multi-city, and don't have to know dates.

Shreya Bagaria · Answer

Love that I can set my location and it suggests me dates with the cheapest airfares.

Answer

I use Momondo - only their hotel search product is listed here, but I've found amazing deals through their flight search engine. They have a "flexible" option so you can get the cheapest date to go to your destination.

follows changing prices of your flight

Answer

Definitely Skiplagged. I've saved hundreds of dollars on flights with it... for example, turns out a flight from Cleveland --> Houston --> Cancun is $300 cheaper than a flight from Cleveland --> Houston. That's what Skiplagged can show you. It's wonderful.

Answer

They have a calendar feature, which shows all the cheapest flights in a give time range. Great place to get an idea about the prices, before you dig deeper.

PS: If you are travelling in India.

I use Adioso when I feel like travelling but I don't exactly know when/where, it has a intuitive UI and quite some exploratory features. Together with Google Flight Search these are my tools of choice.

I'd also highly recommend Skyscanner! You can filter the results with different criteria, so if you only want direct flights, you can get rid of any that involve transfers. It also lets you search for nearby airports to find the cheapest deal.

My only criticism is that Skyscanner doesn't take into account certain fares - for example, SAS does 30% discount for under 26s, but Skyscanner doesn't show this.

Pavan Sethi · Answer

Skyscanner is great!  Especially if you're travel is somewhat flexible, it does an awesome job at recommending flights at the best price closest to your desired time/day.
