5 tips to save money on flights

TRAVEL

Save money on flights

Finding cheap flights is a skill that can save you a ton of money! With a little bit of knowledge and some savvy tips and tricks, you can score some great deals on your next adventure. So, let’s dive into some of my favorite travel hacks for finding cheap flights. P.S. This page may contain affiliate links. Please see my disclosure for more information.

Flexible dates

First and foremost, be flexible with your travel dates. It’s no secret that flying on weekends and during peak travel season can be expensive. Instead, try flying on a Tuesday or Wednesday, or consider traveling during the shoulder season (the period of time between a region’s peak season and offseason). The fewer people flying, the better the prices.

book in advance

Another way to find cheap flights is to book in advance. Many airlines offer their lowest fares several months before departure, so planning ahead can pay off. However, there are also last-minute deals that can be found if you’re willing to take a chance.

use incognito mode

Searching for flights in incognito mode can save you money. Airline websites and travel search engines use cookies to track your search history and can sometimes increase prices if they detect that you’re looking at the same flights repeatedly. So, be sneaky and use incognito mode to avoid any price hikes.

flight refund loophole

Now, let’s talk about the flight refund loophole. If you book a flight and the price drops before you take off, many airlines will refund you the difference. However, most people don’t bother to check if the price has dropped, which means they miss out on potential refunds. Don’t be one of those people! Use websites like Yapta and Hopper to track prices and alert you when a refund is available.

use travel sites

Lastly, there are some great websites that specialize in helping you find cheap flights. Scott’s Cheap Flights and Secret Flying are two good ones. They send subscribers email alerts when there are significant price drops on flights or post daily deals on their websites and social media accounts.
