The Ultimate Guide to Finding Cheap Flights

Finding discounts on flights can be easy if you follow a few simple steps:

1. The cheapest days to fly domestically are Tuesday and Wednesday. Saturday and Monday can help you avoid the Sunday rush and are the next cheapest days to book a flight.

2. There isn't a huge difference between the price and day of the week when flying internationally. Wednesdays and Thursdays seem to give a bit of a discount. The most expensive day is Sunday. Best suggestion is to search the airline of the country you're wanting to travel to. For example if you were interested in best business class flight deals to Italy you might want to search ITA Airways. If you're interested in traveling to Portugal, go onto Tap Air Portugal soon to see if you can grab a deal.

3. Booking one to three months in advance can help keep your ticket price down and it can help you to find a place to stay cheaper than booking last minute too!

4. Setting a price drop alert is a good idea. Allowing a computer search engine to do the work like Google Flights, Skyscanner, or Hopper is always handy.

5. Most of all stay flexible when searching for a cheap flight price. On Google Flights search for airports nearby your destination. One might end up cheaper than the other. Use the calendar view to your advantage. The deals can vary depending on where and when you are going.
