Air travel has become quite expensive these days, and everyone wants to find the cheapest tickets possible. Most people simply rely on popular portals like MakeMyTrip, Goibibo, Ixigo, MyTrip and compare prices there. They buy the ticket from whichever portal looks the cheapest at that moment.
But friends, did you know that apart from these popular portals, there are many other platforms where you can check or buy flight tickets? Prices always differ slightly from one portal to another, and it’s not possible to check each one manually. It takes too much time, and in many cases, we don’t even know these portals exist.
In this article, you will learn about some useful tools that allow you to compare flight ticket prices across multiple portals at once. Wherever you find the cheapest ticket, you can book it from there. I will also share a few bonus tips based on my personal experience, which can help you save even more money.
So make sure to read this article till the end without skipping anything, so you don’t miss important details.
Skyscanner – The Most Popular Tool
The first and most popular tool to check cheap flights is Skyscanner. You may have already heard of it.
Using it is very simple:
- Go to the official Skyscanner website.
- Search for your flight just like you do on MakeMyTrip or any other portal.
- Enter your destination.
- Select your travel date.
- Choose the number of passengers.
Once you search, Skyscanner scans multiple portals and shows you the best available prices. After comparing, you can choose the flight that suits you best and complete your booking.
Google Flights – The Second Tool
The second tool is Google Flights. When you search for flight tickets here, it automatically checks multiple portals and shows you where you can get the cheapest option. After that, you can decide which flight to book and move forward accordingly.
Bonus Tips to Save More Money
Along with these tools, following a few simple habits while booking your flight can help you save even more money.
1. The earlier you book your ticket, the better
The most important factor affecting flight prices is how early you book.
- Booking early increases your chances of getting cheaper tickets.
- If you book 2–4 months in advance, the price is usually lower.
- So, if you can plan your travel early, book your ticket as soon as possible.
2. Don’t search the same date and destination repeatedly
Many people check the same flight multiple times hoping the price will drop, but often the opposite happens.
Flight pricing is dynamic.
The more a particular route and date are searched, the higher the chances that the prices increase because the system interprets rising demand.
So once you finalize your date and destination, check the price, and if it seems reasonable, book it without unnecessary repeated searching.
3. Travel on weekdays
If possible, choose Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday for your journey.
- Demand is usually lower on weekdays.
- Ticket prices can be slightly cheaper.
- Most people travel on weekends, which causes prices to rise.
