New year new me. Travelling more is always up there on our new year’s resolution lists, but there’s always that one little problem: it can be expensive! We’re always on a mission to help people travel more so we put together this little guide so you can see how to find the cheapest flights. After all, every penny saved is another you can spend in the country keeping their economy on the up and up!
Compare Prices Online
If you’re in a spontaneous mood and looking at flights in a hurry check out services like Google Flights, Kayak, Skyscanner, Hopper and Fare Compare.
You’ll be able to set options like ‘Cheapest Month’ and set your destination to ‘Everywhere’. This will then show you the cheapest time and destinations!
Subscribe to an E-Mail List
If you have a little more time to plan and are open to more destinations, you could subscribe to e-mailing lists such as Fare Drop and Scott’s Cheap Flights.
They regularly send out emails with some absolute steals on. They’ll also include information on how to find the cheapest flights, so it’s worth subscribing.
Compare Prices for Individual Legs
If you’re flying to more than one destination compare the prices for individual legs compared with multi-leg journeys and compare the order in which you travel

Look at Landing in a Major City
Even if you are flying somewhere more remote, sometimes doing a return to the major city then using a cheaper airline for the short-haul, rather than booking it all in one hit is the way to go.
You could also tie this into your trip by spending the day there. Cheaper flights and more destinations = winning in our books.
Be Flexible With Where and When You Go
Regardless of where you look, you’ll always find the best deals if you broaden your horizons. Using a getaway map without having a specific destination in mind can be really fun and open up cheap airfares you never knew existed. Suddenly you’re off to some exotic destination for an absolute steal. Our favourite is the Fare Compare Getaway Map.
Remember to ask yourself what’s more important: how to find the cheapest flights or a specific destination you’ve been dreaming of at a certain time.
