✈️ How to Get Great Prices on Flights

Your go-to guide for booking flights without breaking the bank.

Let’s be real—booking flights can either be a thrill (yes, trip confirmed!) or a stressfest of price comparison, sketchy booking sites, and sneaky fees. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back. Here’s a quick and practical guide to finding the best deals on flights, without spending hours refreshing incognito tabs.

Skyscanner is a flight comparison tool that searches hundreds of airlines and booking platforms to find you the cheapest possible options. Whether you’re flying from Paris to Bali or Amsterdam to Brazil, it gives you a clear overview of your options, prices, and flight times all in one place.

🔍 Start with Skyscanner

💡 Hot tip: Use the “whole month” or “cheapest month” feature if your dates are flexible—you might be surprised at how much you save.

💻 Double-check the Airline’s Website

Once you’ve found your ideal flight on Skyscanner, don’t book just yet. Head over to the official website of the airline you’re flying with. Why? Because Skyscanner (and other third-party platforms) sometimes add small booking fees or commissions. The airline’s own site might offer:

  • Lower prices

  • Better seat options

  • More flexibility for changes or cancellations

  • Exclusive baggage deals or add-ons

It only takes a minute to check—and it might save you a few euros.

🧭 Other Platforms Worth Checking

While we swear by Skyscanner, it’s not the only player in the game. Some other popular platforms include:

  • eDreams – Offers deals on multi-airline routes

  • Trip.com – Known for strong deals on Asia-based carriers

  • Google Flights – Great for tracking price changes and calendar views

You can compare across 2–3 platforms to be sure you’re not missing a hidden gem—but in our experience, Skyscanner tends to consistently bring the best mix of price and variety.

✅ Search with Skyscanner
✅ Cross-check prices on the airline's official site
✅ Compare with 1–2 other platforms if needed
✅ Be flexible with dates for the best prices
✅ Book with confidence and start counting down the days!
