What's your favorite place to find cheap flights? ✈️

Question

There are so many sites out there, would be nice to have one that covered 90% of possible flights/combos without having 10 browser tabs open.

Ben Lang · Accepted Answer

I'm a big Skyscanner user, I love their "flexible" / "everywhere" option which makes it super easy to find super cheap flights to random places.

Ryan Hoover · Answer

I've been a long-time Hipmunk fan, not just for the cute mascot.

Enter your flight details and Hipmunk presents a calendar-like view of flights across numerous airlines, sorted by "agony" which is a combination of price + layovers + time of the day.

Aliaksei Krasouski · Answer

Good decision for a small trip.

Sunil Neurgaonkar · Answer

Skyscanner compares list from various networks and help you get the cheapest one. Just like @benln said, it's super easy to use.

Jack Dweck · Answer

I used to use Hipmunk but recently switched over to Google Flights. It's a lot cleaner and easier to browse.

Kunal Bhatia · Answer

Hipmunk is my go-to starting point for any flight research. Beyond sorting by agony, it has one of the better interfaces for figuring out optimal dates to adjust flexible travel schedules. E.g., I can move my departure one day in advance and save $300.

Pana makes the actual traveling part of travel seamless, but if you upgrade to their paid version of the platform, you get access to Pana Concierge which takes care of all the booking / scheduling nonsense for you. This effectively eliminates the need for spending time sifting through travel / deal sites altogether 💁

lior redlus · Answer

You set your trip dates, and it automatically tracks the prices of flights along with predictions as to when you should book. Doesn't include all airline companies, but definitely worth a close look for traveling cheap!

Kunal Bhatia · Answer

After Hipmunk, I can double-check my deals on Google, get more data on best times to book that particular flight, etc. As a bonus, the travel guides give an awesome starting point to plan my travel.

I use 3 services to find the cheap flights, Momondo is one of them. TBH if you want to find the absolute cheapest flight, you gotta do a little bit more work by comparing at least 3 diff sites.

Dan Fennessy · Answer

Hitlist is great because you don't even need to search for flights - you just let it know where you're interested in going & they send you the best options as they come up. Amazing deals sometimes! Especially if you are a bit flexible on dates.

Product Pearson · Answer

I think this is a no-brainer - Skyscanner is superb for finding cheap flights, and it's superbly popular all around the world.

Ram Rayavarapu · Answer

SkipLagged helps find the cheapest flights even if its the layover destination. The twist is you do not board the connection flight at the layover. The only drawback with this approach is you cannot take Check-In baggage as it drops the bag at the final destination.

Ryan Hoover · Answer

AirWander is a different kind of flight search engine for those that don't mind overnight layovers.  It's ideal for longer distance travel where you might find two one-way flights on different days that are cheaper than a single direct flight.

Kunal Bhatia · Answer

Quite impressed with lola's ability to provide travel recommendations. It uses both AI and human travel agents to provide flights, hotels, and other travel services. My brother recently travelled to China and Japan with a complex itinerary/requirements. For a first experience, he saved so much time booking through lola. If you value your time, I'd check it out. Flight bookings cost a flat fee, but everything else is free. The experience gets even better starting your second booking!

Ryan Dearlove · Answer

Personalised flight deals and travel ideas all within Facebook Messenger!

Abhilash Jain · Answer

It's got so many options/filters plus they have a free api that you can use to build over.

Sabri Helal · Answer

Surprised no one has mentioned Skiplagged, personally find it's better than Skyscanner but hey to each his own!

Hanna Zhyhar · Answer

Yeah, it plans a multi-city trip by picking a route and finding the best travel for you

Answer

Data, tons of it

Nivas Ravichandran · Answer

Skyscanner is the only tab you need to have open.

Punit Makwana · Answer

It searches & compares flights to give cheapest fares

jeevan4 · Answer

if tracks down the best days to book tickets and tells us if that's the right window to book a ticket or it suggests to wait. Very good app powered by historic data

Mohit Menghnani · Answer

It gives you a thorough analysis of how the prices are going to change while giving you the option to play around with the dates. Beautiful interface. Love this app

Nagarjun Palavalli · Answer

Supremely underrated! This app tells you *when* to buy because buying sooner doesn't always guarantee you the best prices.

Ivan Dimitrov · Answer

Best place for me!

Matěj Kalužík · Answer

This one combines low cost airlines. I think it is the best to really find out the cheapest flights. The bad side is they have a high percentage fee for booking through them.

Wade Yardie · Answer

This is always my first stop before booking any flights !

Juan Carlos Haro · Answer

I use Momondo to find better flight options
