How do I find the cheapest dates to fly?

The number one factor which affects your flight price is the dates you choose to fly on. The more flexible you are with your flight dates, the cheaper your flight can be. Thankfully, our Flight Finder has a powerful, flexible dates flight tool. This tool allows you to see the cheapest return flight 3 days before or after your chosen dates, the entire month, or even the entire year. For example, if you wanted to fly to New York from London in May, It could set you back by about £350. However, if you used our flexible search, it will tell you that if you traveled in February, the price would be around £212. The best way to find a flight that suits you is to play around with the flexible calendar function and see what comes up.

What is a flight comparison site/ metasearch engine?

A flight comparison site, flight aggregator, or metasearch engine is a website that utilises complex technology to compare flights from multiple data sources. For Example, Skyscanner is one of the most popular flight comparison sites. They work by combining the APIs of many travel agents and then sorting the results so viewers can see the cheapest options quickly. To this date, there is no single comparison site that is entirely comprehensive; this is because different places tend to form various partnerships and search different data sources. A quick comparison of the comparison sites reveals that prices vary drastically between them. The best way to ensure the cheapest flight is to check multiple sites via our flight finder dashboard.

What is Meta-Meta flight search®?

'Meta-Meta flight search'® is a unique term trademarked by FlightsFinder to describe our search engine accurately. It means searching multiple search engines or comparison sites to find the cheapest flights online—a single comparison site in the travel industry is known as a meta-search engine. Because our site compares multiple meta-search engines with one query, we proudly represent ourselves as the world's first 'Meta-Meta flight search'® engine. It is necessary to query a selection of the world's best flight meta-search engines to find the cheapest flights as prices can vary drastically between them.

Are the prices on Flights Finder accurate?

The first thing to note is that FlightsFinder has no control over the flight prices on display. We aggregate the best third-party flight search engines on one platform. It is similar to Google in that sense; we display information found by others. However, the flights that our metasearch engine partners provide are usually very accurate. There may be the odd occasion where a flight is no longer available on click-through - or a flight that was listed has now gone up in price. We recommend that if such a thing was to occur, click another search engine tab on our dashboard and look for an alternate flight.

Which search engine is best for finding cheap flights?

In our opinion, the best sites to find cheap flights are flight comparison sites. You could go to a Travel agent like Lastminute.com or Expedia, but you don't get as many options as you do on a flight comparison site. For example, a simple search on Expedia for a round trip flight from London to Dubai in August returned the lowest price of £313. The exact search done on FlightsFinder found a cheaper flight via Skyscanner for £115. The simple answer is no search engine is best for finding cheap flights every time - your best bet is to search a few of the best flight search engines via our convenient flight finder dashboard.

When is the cheapest season to fly?

In airline terms, there are seasons known as peak seasons, when fares are at their highest, and off-peak seasons or 'shoulder seasons', when flights are cheaper. Seasons vary from country to country; for example, the hot summer months in Dubai, where temperatures can reach a blistering 50 degrees centigrade, would fall in the off-peak season. Alternately, snow resorts have their peak season in the winter months when the weather conditions are ideal for skiing. Generally speaking, for Europe and the USA, summertime is the busiest season to travel in, and fares tend to drop after September. The best way to find the cheapest time to fly is to use our flexible date calendars. Our calendars will show you which month is the most affordable to travel in the entire year.

What are some other top tips to get the cheapest flights possible?

Other strategies to find cheaper flights include booking your flight and hotel together if you also require accommodation. Sometimes agents bundle prices together, leading to a discount, so it's always worth checking that out on our flight and hotel search page. Another option is flying into a close-by city to your intended destination; if it's a cheaper city to fly into, then take a road trip to your desired destination. You can check various open-jaw options using ourmulti-cityorone-way flightspage. This way, you may save a bit plus take in the sights of another city to boot. Also, make sure you maximise your frequent flyer programme so you can access discounted flights. Finally, we recommend you start looking for a flight about 54 days before departure.
