Close out all those tabs. Turn off your incognito window. At Going, the most exciting flight opportunities find you. But that doesn't mean there aren't a few tips and tricks to get the best deal possible.
1Start with Google.
While there are dozens of search sites for cheap tickets, Google Flights offers the most tools and features to help you quickly search for flights and find the cheapest tickets so you can book directly with the airline. Or, if you prefer to book with a site where you can earn booking rewards, start with Google Flights to see all your options and then move over to the other site once you've chosen your flight and are ready to book. No matter where you do your searching, the same best practices for finding cheap tickets apply.
2Be as flexible as possible
The more narrow your search, the fewer your options and the lower your chances of snagging a cheap flight. If you can be flexible on the days you fly, the airlines, and the length of your trip, you can increase your chances of snagging a great deal.
3Focus on getting across the ocean as cheaply as possible.
You're probably wondering why you'd be flexible on where you're going. If you want to go to Amsterdam, you want to go to Amsterdam. But what if it was $300 cheaper to fly to Paris, which is just a few hours from Amsterdam by train? When you're flying long-haul internationally, take a look at options near your final destination. It may be cheaper to fly there and then connect to where you want to end up.
4Book during the right window.
Meaning, not too far in advance and not too late. The best deals are usually found 1–3 months in advance for domestic flights and 2–8 months in advance for international tickets.
5Act fast.
When airlines drop prices, they don't usually do it for long. If you want to snag a cheap ticket, you have to move quickly. Sometimes the price rises within hours or even minutes. Not sure if you can get the time off work? The 24-hour rule can help. This US DOT regulation says airlines have to offer you the chance to hold your fare or to get a cash refund within 24 hours of booking (and most airlines choose the latter). This means you can book and then figure out your plans. If it doesn't work, you can cancel within 24 hours and get a full refund.
