I wanted to share some of my tips and tricks on finding cheap flights. These tips and tricks are great for international flights and even domestic flights!
My fiance and I got our tickets from Toronto to Bangkok for $625!! That's a great price considering when we used to live in Jasper, AB our flights from Calgary or Edmonton to Toronto were roughly the same price! To fly within Canada is pretty expensive so if your not planning to travel internationally, hopefully these tricks can help you!
If you were curious as to which company we booked our tickets and which airline I will list that below:
We booked our flights with FlightNetwork and our Airline is EvaAir. We almost got our tickets from FlightHub and found it consistently had the best prices however, flight network had a sale and lowered their tickets $10 cheaper so we jumped on them and purchased!
Here are some of my tips and tricks!
TIP ONE:The best tip I could offer would be to consistently search different sites and see which sites are offering the best deals, I will list some of my favorite search engines - Flight Network, Flight Hub, CheapOAir, Travelocity, JetRadar, Kyak & Trip Advisor
My favorite site was probably Kyak - Kyak allows you to search all of the above sites in one search engine and shows you which company is offering the best deal! Its fantastic!
TIP TWO:When searching for flights make sure when you are searching your clearing your browsing history and cache, this is because the companies are tracking your browsing history and they will increase the prices of your flight if your consistently searching for the same flight. So once a day or even after a few hours of searching just delete your search history and open a new internet browser and continue searching!
TIP THREE: This one goes hand and hand with the first tip, I found this to be very helpful when I was searching for flights. I would download the apps onto my Ipad from each flight network company. This was I didn't have to clear by browsing history and it was easy to search flights everyday and see which company was offering better deals * Kyak was by far my favorite and the most useful app!
TIP FOUR:Sign up for notifications! I signed up with both FlightNetwork and Flight Hub to receive notifications when the flight I was looking for dropped in price. Sure they only email you when it goes down by a few cents but in our case the flight had dropped $10 and for us to save $20 each that's 2 nights stay in Thailand! So a penny saved is a penny earned!
TIP FIVE: Booking your flights on a Monday or Tuesday are the cheapest of the whole week! & not just cheaper by a $30 or so they are cheaper by hundreds of dollars! For example, our flight to Thailand on a Friday-Sunday was roughly $1300 and on Monday and Tuesday it was $600-700!
& those are a few tips and tricks that I found help me while searching for flights! Make sure to do your research when looking for flights! It took me about 2 months to find the flight I wanted and the price I was happy with! Remember, last minute flights are great but dont wait too last minute or else sometimes you'll end up paying more!
Hope some of these tricks help you out next time you fly!
