If you are looking for the cheapest possible round trip to a particular destination on a fixed date, it would be wise to check multiple websites because different websites have different prices. Luckily FlightsFinder has made this task easy by providing you with a convenient dashboard that allows you to compare all the best search engines side by side. We search KAYAK, Skyscanner, Jetradar, momondo, Cheapflights, Kiwi, Skiplagged and more, effectively searching over 1200 different sources for flights to make sure you get the very best deal. To prove this, you can do a simple test, go to your favorite website, fetch the lowest price then compare it with our search engine tabs. We are highly confident we will beat or equal the price you can find anywhere else.

The number one factor which affects your flight price is the dates you choose to fly on. The more flexible you are with your flight dates, the cheaper your flight can be. Thankfully, our Flight Finder has a powerful, flexible dates flight tool. This tool allows you to see the cheapest return flight 3 days before or after your chosen dates, the entire month, or even the entire year. For example, if you wanted to fly to London from New York in May, It could set you back by about $442. However, if you used our flexible search, it will tell you that if you traveled in March, the price would be around $300. The best way to find a flight that suits you is to play around with the flexible calendar function and see what comes up.

A metasearch engine is a site that aggregates data from multiple other websites for comparison. So for example - KAYAK.com is a flight meta-search engine that searches hundreds of different airlines and travel agents to find which one has the cheapest deal. Various other metasearch engines exist, such as Skyscanner, momondo, Kiwi.com, and more. We found that no single search engine finds the best deal every time without fail. Sometimes Skyscanner might find the best value, while other times, KAYAK will come out on top. This price difference is because each site has different partnerships and relies on various data sources. The best way to combat this problem is to search multiple aggregator sites/ metasearch engines we have developed here at FlightsFinder.com. Our mighty search allows you to compare Skyscanner, KAYAK, momondo, Kiwi, and more side by side in seconds. We call this process of searching - Meta-Meta Flight Search®.

In recent times, many consumers believe that the airlines and search engines are sneakily tracking their online movements and hiking up the prices when they see interest in a cheap fare. According to our research, this is nothing but an urban myth, we have done thousands of searches using incognito mode and regular browsing, and the results remain consistent. The vital thing to note is that airfare prices sometimes change from hour to hour, and you are just witnessing a price adjustment instead of a sneaky tactic. If you still don't trust the search engines, adjust your browser to incognito mode and browse away for complete peace of mind.

The first thing to note is that FlightsFinder has no control over the flight prices on display. We aggregate the best third-party flight search engines on one platform. It is similar to Google in that sense; we display information found by others. However, the flights that our metasearch engine partners provide are usually very accurate. There may be the odd occasion where a flight is no longer available on click-through - or a flight that was listed has now gone up in price. We recommend that if such a thing was to occur, click another search engine tab on our dashboard and look for an alternate flight.

In our opinion, the best sites to find cheap flights are the aggregator sites. You could go to a Travel agent like Priceline or Expedia, but you don't get as many options as you do on a flight aggregator. For example, a simple search on Expedia for a round trip flight from San Francisco to Paris in August returned the lowest price of $683. The exact search done on FlightsFinder found a cheaper flight via Kiwi.com for $575. The simple answer is no search engine is best for finding cheap flights every time - your best bet is to search a few of the best flight search engines via our convenient flight finder dashboard.

To find the cheapest possible flight to your destination, you need two things. 1.) to be flexible with your dates, and 2.) Check multiple flight aggregators. You can do this easily by using our robust, flexible date calendar, which gives you an idea of prices for the entire month or year. Then compare search engines on those days that the flights are cheapest (using our dashboard) and save even more of your ticket (even up to 20%). This strategy will practically guarantee you find the cheapest flight on earth.

To find the cheapest flight to a particular country, you need to enter a broad search in our 'recent deals' carousel engine. FlightsFinder allows you to search from country to country to discover the cheapest route, for example - the USA to France. Our current deals carousel search will show you the most affordable airlines and flights between the two countries. You can also do a broad city-to-country search such as New York to the United Kingdom or Miami to Ireland - this will give you the cheapest flight to the most affordable route between that city and country. You can find our recent deals carousel below the top search engine form:

If you wish to find the cheapest flight price to a particular city, enter your departure airport to the required city destination, e.g. San Francisco to London - then select flexible dates. You can choose flights for the whole month or even the entire year to discover the best time to fly.

Sometimes airlines publish error fares; these are substantially cheaper fares than usual caused by several reasons. The main reason is usually a technological problem with the airline pricing system; on other occasions, it could be human error, where an employee might type in a wrong price by accident. Other times the error occurs when a currency conversion goes awry. Whatever the reason is, the bottom line is that you could potentially save hundreds off your flight by booking these fares. Our unique flight finder can uncover these fares quickly through a broad, 'everywhere' search; after that, select > flexible dates > whole year: this will show you the cheapest published flights from your airport in the entire upcoming year. Bear in mind sometimes very cheap fares may not be errors but just a great and legitimate deal.

Hidden city ticketing is a relatively new cheap flight strategy where the consumer buys a ticket to a destination with a layover in between; however, instead of continuing the entire journey, the consumer departs at the stopover and foregoes the rest of the trip. For example, there are two flights from London to Chicago. The first flight is direct and costs $400; the second is a flight to Milwaukee with a stopover in Chicago for $300. Taking advantage of this hidden city would be to book the second flight, getting off at Chicago and not continuing to Milwaukee. The only downside to this tactic is that you can not check any baggage in as it will arrive at the final destination - not the stopover. Moreover, airlines aren't overly enthused about travellers using this tactic, and they may penalise you by canceling your frequent flier miles; however, no such case has been enforced yet. Skiplagged is a specialist site in hidden city ticketing; luckily, you can compare Skiplagged flights by selecting their tab on our flight results page.

You will see a small icon on our primary search results page which indicates whether a cabin bag and checked in luggage is included with your flight. Another option is to add it using the filters on the left hand side of the results page which will then update the final price once your bags have been added. On some occasions the baggage is unknown and you will have to contact the agent or airline you are booking with and confirm with them whether baggage is included with your flight or you will have to pay extra. On many international routes checked baggage is included. To double check this we recommend you Google your airline name + 'baggage calculator' and you will be able to see what your allowance is for your specific route.

Sometimes agents will charge you extra for choosing a particular form of payment. KAYAK (our primary search results) has a handy function which is available on certain routes that allows you to select which form of payment you will be using and then see how that affects the final price. Other than that you can see what extra an agent or airline will add on their checkout page when selecting your method of payment. The other option is to ask our experts to do the searching for you, simply tell them what payment option you wish to use and they will find you the best deal with no surcharges for your preferred method of payment. 

On our primary search results page on the left hand side you will see a heading titled 'Flexible options' - under that heading is a no-change fee checkbox. Checking this box will update the flight results and show you the best flights which will allow you to change your flights for no extra charge. Alternately, you can usually select a flexible fare option when booking your flight which will allow you to make changes to your ticket. Be aware that you may have to pay a surcharge for selecting this option. Some people are reluctant booking with an agent due to worries that changing their ticket may be difficult through a third party booking agent. We recommend checking third party reviews on such booking agents before you purchase your ticket or alternately book your ticket directly with the airline. our search engine gives you the option either way of booking with an agent of your choice or booking with the airline of your choice directly.

A hacker fare is when a flight is cobbled together using two separate airlines which traditionally do not work together. By combining 2 one way fares from different airlines you can potentially save more money on your overall flight.

Be aware though that sometimes you may need to self transfer in between flights so you need to make sure you have enough time to make the transfer. Kiwi.com offers a guarantee that if miss your connecting flight for a valid reason beyond your control they will compensate you and book you on another flight.
