The Best Websites to Find Flight Deals

When it comes to affordable travel, flight deals are life! If you follow me on Instagram you know I post flight deals on my IG stories. From our $98 flight to Denver, $175 deal to Aruba, $520 to Kenya, to the $580 RT flight deal I caught to Australia in 2016 there is no reason to spend thousands of dollars on flying to your dream destination. The key to securing a flight deal is to be flexible with your dates, destinations, and even your arriving and departing airports. If you can do that you can save a ton of money, making travel a lot more affordable. Here are the best websites to find flight deals followed by a step by step video on how to book them.

Websites That Help Find Cheap Flights for Specific Dates or Destinations

SkyScanner

SkyScanner is the best website to search for deals if you have specific dates or a specific destination in mind. You can enter your departing airport and then select “Everywhere” as your destination and put in the dates you can travel. SkyScanner will then provide a list in order of cheapest to most expensive of places you can go from your airport on those dates. When you have a particular destination in mind and have flexible dates you can enter your originating and arriving airport and then search based “cheapest month” to travel and SkyScanner will provide the results and then you can easily see how much it is to leave and come back on each day of that month. They also have an app you can download here if you are on a mobile device.

    I’ve been using the app Hopper to keep an eye on flights that become available for a cheaper price.

Hi! We’re The Hambricks

Hi! We’re The Hambricks

If kids live there, kids can visit! That's our motto and you'll often find us exploring destinations most don't find "kid friendly". We've traveled to 35 countries on 6 continents with our children since they were 10 weeks old and share tips to make it easier and affordable. But mom and dad are people too so we also write about solo travel, baecations and girlfriend getaways.
