Find Cheaper Flights Online
Airfarewatchdog.com provides lots of cheap deals, and insider tips on how to find more. It’s also one of the few travel sites that let you search by departure city. This is ideal when you just want to get out of town for a few days and don’t really care where you end up, as long as the airfare is cheap.
Google Flights Explorer is a service built on top of Google Flights. If you’re relatively flexible in your itinerary, it will help you find cheaper flights leaving and arriving around the same time. For pragmatic fliers who don’t care how or when they get there, just how much it costs to get there, this is the perfect solution.
Before selecting your seat on the plane, be sure to visit SeatGuru.com so you know you’re picking the best one. The site has seating plans for all the major airlines and plane types, and let you know which seats have the most legroom, nearby power outlets, or seatbacks that don’t recline.
Yapta’s downloadable plug-in tracks the prices of flights you’re interested in, letting you know the best time to pull the trigger. But even if you don’t want to download anything, the service can still save you money. Once you’ve bought your ticket, enter in your flight number, travel dates, and ticket price. If the price drops below what you paid for your ticket, Yapta will let you know via e-mail so can get a voucher for the price difference from the airline.
