Search Tips...
- Book early – though you can sometimes snag a cheap last minute deal, most of the time the conventional wisdom stands true: the earlier you book; the cheaper your flight.
- Travel mid-week – Monday to Thursday is generally the cheapest time to fly, and try to avoid Fridays and Sundays if you want to save the big bucks.
- Fly at off-peak times – if money is more important than time, choose flights outside of peak travel hours – this often means picking the very earliest or latest flights, but at least it maximises your stay.
- Book two singles rather than a return – always worth checking the price of two singles – as sometimes it can be cheaper than a return.

Search Tips...
- Fly indirect – it may take a little longer, but flying to your destination via a two leg journey can save a lot of money. If you’re using a low cost carrier, be sure to leave enough time between connections as you’ll have to go through check-in and security clearance twice.
- Fly to/from regional airports – it can be cheaper to fly to the smaller regional airports rather than the large city hubs. Remember to factor in your onward travel expenses to your final destination. Some cities offer a group search option – e.g. London (Any) to make it easier for you to search several airports at a single click.
