Which websites to find the best deal for flight fare? In this article, we list our favorite sites to travel the world on a budget.
1. Skyscanner
I guess many of you have heard about this site. It’s my favorite when finding flights.
I like the feature that you can select the whole month to find the best time by comparing all the choices. You can also choose “Anywhere” as a surprising travel option.
However, the website doesn’t show all the cheap airlines, and sometimes the combination is a bit pricey. Therefore, I will use it as one of the references when searching for flights.
Be careful when you book multiple flights through this website.
Sometimes it says that you will take responsibility to transfer on your own, so you have to make sure to pick up all the luggage by yourself, and prepare a visa if needed.
I once booked multiple flights without knowing that I need a visa to transfer because my booking was with two different airlines. As a result, I lost my reservations and all the money :/
2. Goeuro
This website is handy because you can find all kinds of transportation, including buses, trains, flights or even Blabla cars.
It evaluates the Smartest options, the Cheapest options and also the Fastest options. You can also see the time needed for commuting as well.
3. Bravofly
I just discovered this website recently and used it as one of the options to find flights. You can also find hotels, cars or a combination between flights and hotels here.
4. Kayak
Kayak is one of the websites that I used to compare the price as well.
The website is user-friendly and well-designed.
If you sign up for an account, you may be able to find suitable private deals with up to 35% savings.
5. Fly4free
This website provides various good deals with a good combination of flights and accommodation. You can read more about the description of each trip on their website, and book the trips with the links.
If you are lazy to plan your trip or look for some travel inspiration, Fly4free will be your favorite website.
6. Momondo
Momondo is one of the best flight comparison prices.
It provides cheap options for flights, hotels, car rental. You can find some trip inspiration there as well.
I love the Trip Finder option. You can enter your budget, choose your favorite destinations or just randomly anywhere. You can also select which type of places you would love to go such as cities, beaches, nature or skiing, etc.
7. Rome2rio
This website is amazing! You can find all the unique paths through this one.
The site lists all the options by plane, bus, train, ferry, and automobile, along with the price and the time needed for transportation.
Europe flights
Sometimes I found cheap flights by checking directly on airplanes’ websites since some good deals do not show up in comparison websites.
These are some budget airlines you would love to know! Most of them are only available in Europe.
1. Ryanair
Ryanair is my top website to find cheap flights. You can save lots of money with this airline. I have used it several times, and these are my reviews.
Good points:
- Incredibly cheap! You can find good deals starting from 5 Euro!
- User-friendly website
- You can bring a carry-on suitcase with a bag on board.
Bad points:
- Hassle at the check-in if you don’t hold a proper passport. If you travel around Europe, and you’re not an EU resident, you will have to do a passport checkup at the check-in luggage point.
- The seat is very tiny and not that comfortable. If you’re tall, you feel it very uncomfortable during the flights. However, I think it’s acceptable if you’re looking for a cheap option to go from places to places in a short period.
- High charge if you bring extra luggage. Therefore check out the allowance rules carefully before you fly.
- They play lots of commercials on the airplane, and it’s quite annoying. It’s quite understandable that Ryanair tries to have more income from selling stuff on the plane.
2. Norwegian
I love using the Norwegian service because it’s excellent. You can have free wi-fi access on board. There is no hassle in check in part.
Sometimes the price is a bit pricey, but if you are under 26, you can use the promotion code: UNDER 26, and you can see lots of deduction from the regular price! It can be even up to 50% off!
3. Wizz Air
Wizz Air provides cheap flights as well, even less expensive than other competitors. However, it’s quite inconvenient if you have more than one piece of luggage.
You will need to pay an extra fee if you bring more than “One piece of cabin baggage.” Read more here.
4. easyJet
I flew with this airline a few times and nothing much to complain, except it was late with the boarding time.
EasyJet is also one of the cheap options for flights, and the seat is quite small as well.
5. SAS
Some people will say SAS is quite expensive to fly, but it’s cheap if you book ” Young flights” for those who are under 26 years old.
Also, the price of SAS is a bit similar to Norwegian. You can get free coffee or tea on the plane, and the service is fantastic!
Finding cheap flights will take time, but it’s worth your effort. I hope you can find good deals based on the list of websites above.
