How to find a cheap flight. Tips and tricks from travel bloggers

by Larisa · November 15, 2017

Dreaming about a holiday? We can relate! Some people even joke around and say that they only want two holidays a year, 6 months each. Although choosing a holiday destination is not difficult because we usually know what we want to visit and where we want to go, we might have some difficulties finding a great deal when it comes to plane tickets. Of course we can always turn to some travel agents and thus get rid of this headache because they will deal with all the details in terms of transport and accommodation. Today, however, we will not talk about holidays purchased through an agency. Instead, we will give you some tips and tricks on how find a cheap flight – so cheap you will not believe it is true.

How to find a cheap flight. Best time to book a flight

Although it may sound strange, there seems to be an algorithm that travel bloggers have discovered and there is no doubt that they are the poeple we should trust the most when it comes to traveling. Ready? Take notes!

The 60-day rule – apparently, the best prices are about one and a half – 2 months before the trip (no sooner or later);
If you want to find a cheap ticket, you should book your flight from January to March;
Also, you will find the cheapest tickets on Tuesdays between 2 and 4 pm (we know, it sounds weird, but we tested this theory and we can vouch for it);
If you plan to go on a city break, try to opt for a flight on Friday or Saturday evening, not Friday or Saturday morning, because those tickets are the most expensive ones;
After booking your flight (but not buying the ticket), check the price again, the next morning and if it is cheaper (there are high chances that the price will drop), cancel the reservation and buy it at the new price
