Find Flights for Cheap

Booking a vacation that requires flying? Well, chances are you are going to have to book a flight. Booking a flight can sometimes take forever, because you are waiting for rates to go down. Well, you can also use a wide variety of services to help you find low rates. Many of them can even send you notifications if the price changes. Booking direct from the airline can be a good value only if they have a sale going on, but we recommend not buying from them at their regular price. Contacting a travel agent is also a nice option, however sometimes websites have even cheaper options. But the question is; what website do I use?

Well, there are a LOT! Therefore, we have created a list below of some of our favourites

Services:

Hipmunk-Hipmunk is our favourite because of its really simple look. You don't have to worry about confusing options, its all really simple. It also is pretty fast and you can easily set up an account. After finding an itinerary, you can also share it, possibly to get advice. You also view the prices in a visual way and you can easily view stopovers, departure times, time differences, and airlines without having to click. The website version also has different tabs for viewing multiple routes at once. They also have an excellent iOS app. And did we mention, you can also search for hotels.

Kayak-Kayak is another great service that gives you a huge selection of prices from a lot of sites. They have a nice orange design, however it was more difficult to get used to than the extremely simple Hipmunk. However Kayak offers some really nice features and options and if you are looking for a good price and can travel from nearby airports as well, you may want to check out Kayak. They also have an iOS app, however for mobile we recommend Hipmunk
