Finding Cheap Flights
Helping you travel for less: Finding Cheap Flights
Finding cheap flights doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With a few clever tricks and an open mind, you can unlock a world of possibility. We have spent years helping people just like you get away on a tight budget. Once you have found your cheap flights, you then need to consider booking cheap accommodation.
Let’s explore some great tips and additional tricks to ensure you make the most of your travel budget.
Be flexible with your dates
Use our ‘Start your Journey’ feature to input your availability, let us know how long you want to be away for and we will source you the best flights for your period. On top of that we will provide some great rated hotels that fits within your budget, oh, and its free to use!
Travel during the week
Be flexible with your destination
Check routes from an alternative airport
We all have our favourite airport, the one we know like the back of our hand and fly from all the time because it’s close and familiar. When finding cheap flights it’s important to remember that your local airport wont always have the best prices.
When we plan our trips we always check out a bunch of airports. Sometimes it is worth travelling to an airport a bit further afield if it offers a bargain route, better flight times or more destinations to choose from. A recent example meant we saved £500 flying from London compared to our local airport. It did mean an additional 3 hours of driving, but we decided this was worth it for the savings.
When searching for a trip, our platform lets you input your favourite airport, but also an alternative, making finding cheap flights even easier.
Travel light
Adding check-in luggage to your budget-friendly flights can quickly add over £100 to the price. By mastering the art of traveling with less, you can save a small fortune. If you need a little bit more than just a rucksack, a more cost efficient luggage option would be to take a carry on suitcase. Usually, this upgrade only costs around £20 more each way and is a lot cheaper than adding a big check in case.
