  Airfare Booking Strategies

When you are planning a trip, you probably know exactly where you want to go. However, sometimes you may be open to several possible destinations, depending on what type of deal you can get.

Several tools are designed to uncover well-priced airline tickets for your next trip, letting you easily browse airfares to many different destinations. These tools are the best way to find a great deal on airplane tickets and can provide inspiration for a trip to a fantastic destination.


"Explore" Tools

  • Google’s Explore Map. Google lets you view possible destinations on a map. You can view prices for specific dates or for a weekend, one-week, or two-week trip across the following six months or for a specific month. The prices displayed on the map are only approximates. You’ll need to click through to individual cities to see the real fares. At least with Google flights, this will be blazingly fast.

  • Kayak’s Explore Map. Kayak / Momondo has a similar map, which allows you to more flexibly control your date options but doesn't let you search an exact set of dates.

Scanning through fare deals

Another approach to finding a good destination is to scan through recent “deals” that are posted on several websites that focus on spreading the word about unusually low prices. These websites aren’t so much airfare searching tools as they are listings of airfare alerts. They are designed to provide notifications about new deals and just show a list of each deal in the reverse order of when they found them.

The most convenient way to view recent deals is with All the Flight Deals. This website searches several of the other “fare deal” websites and pulls together all the deals in one easy-to-view listing. You can also sign up for email notifications for flights from your city.
