Cheap airline tickets

Hi Everyone

What are the best websites to find chepa flight tickets?

Depends on where your going, what class you want, how long you are ok with traveling for, how many changes you are ok with, how close do you want your airport. If you don't know anything, Skyscanner is a good start

Thanks. Going from Boston to Miami on May 15, checked CheapOair.com, FlightPapa.com and Skyscanner.com and looks like last two got lowest prices.

Kiwi can be good for prices, depending on destination and flexibility

Skyscanner would be my go to, but recently starting using Google Flights, when I'm looking for somewhere different to go, as it shows the location on a map, I like the layout of it

There is no cheap air fare fairy. Avoid the ota's and book directly with the airline.

sorry to jump on this but any website which will alert you to price release? Want to book for 2025 but wondering can any website then alert to say the Ryanair/aerlingus flights are available?

OTA's (often) sell the cheaper tickets though, so if you want to take a risk - they are the cheap air fare fairy!

I've found if you stick to direct / popular routes, you will be fine. Avoid multi-ticketed routes as any delays will screw you over.

Google Flights let you set up alerts to track prices.

Typically Ryanair / Aerlingus release flights 9-12 months in advance.

Airhint.com is good if you know the dates, you can get email notifications if it drops or increases, but its usually 24h lag, at least in my experience. Just keep checking.

With Ryanair we booked flights 8 months in advance once, but those schedules were not 100% confirmed. Couple of months later they changed departure times online, but no email notification about it. When I contacted them, they said its not final, not confirmed so i should wait. And then 3months before the flight, i received the official confirmation about the schedule change. The new departure times didn't suit us, but we could pick the different dates/times free of charge (popular destination, 3 flights daily). But we still had to pay for additional night at the hotel. So keep that in mind

Hey. I usually start with Google Flights and Skyscanner. They're user-friendly and offer good deals. Then, I cross-reference with airline websites for any promos.
