To get the cheapest price on your flight, it pays to compare. Consider checking an aggregator – a site that searches multiple airlines' websites and online travel agencies at once – to get a wider range of available flights. Some flight aggregators include the following:
Comparing prices is one way to find the cheapest flights, but if you have a trusted website or preferred company, ask if they price match.
Booking with a company that will price-match your fare will also guarantee the lowest price for a flight. Usually, you'll need to compare apples to apples, so make sure you're looking at the same airline, the same departure date and time and the same inclusions (if you're needing extras like checked baggage). To learn more about this, read our guide that lists out booking sites and airlines that will let you price match.
Knowing which days flights go on sale is also key when booking. Many airlines have regular sales, whether weekly or annually, and booking during one can reward you with a low fare. We've seen prices drop as low as $19 recently with Jetstar during one such sale.
Through our research trawling through flight searches to learn – and booking plenty for ourselves too – we've found that flying in the early morning or late at night tends to reward the lowest fare.
When it comes to the days of the week, Tuesdays and Wednesdays tend to have the lowest fares.
Learn more about our research on the cheapest times to fly.
We're not the only place you can find some flight deals. Here's a couple of sites we love for finding the best deals on flights:
The days of running up to the counter at the airport and asking about standby flights are well and truly behind us. For last minute flight deals you can't look past aggregators including: Lastminute.com.au, Skyscanner and KAYAK.
In the days leading up to your preferred travel dates make sure to check sites frequently and note down the prices. Follow airlines on social media as they'll often announce last-minute deals there. Most airlines have their own newsletter announcing sales and reminders for their weekly specials.
If you want a round-up of the best flight sales without having to sign up to multiple newsletters you can join our flight deal alert mailing list.
If you know where you want to go and when, then booking ahead of time can save you money. "The early bird gets the worm" as it were.
If you've got flexibility on dates and/or destinations then you'll want to look out for last-minute sales. As take-off dates draw closer airlines tend to put the remaining seats on sale to make sure they fill-up the plane.
It doesn't hurt to try. Some experts swear that booking sites are tracking you and will put their prices up when you visit their site a few times.
There are a lot of normal factors that can result in prices changing, from a fare class selling out to high demand for a particular date.
While you can try clearing your cookies, using incognito mode or a VPN, we recommend you always do your research and compare fares to find the cheapest or best deal for your circumstances.
It depends on whether you're flying domestically or internationally and there are exceptions to the rule.
It can be cheaper to buy two one-way fares. For example, when you search for return airfares on Skyscanner it looks for deals and offers from multiple airlines and travel agents, not just individual flights.
Apart from circumstances like in our example, budget airlines like Jetstar usually sell one-way fares for the same price each way opting to charge per kilometres travelled.
Whether you purchase two one-way tickets or book the return airfare, the price should come out roughly the same.
Do look out for Jetstar "return for free" fares though, they're a steal.
It's often cheaper to buy a return ticket. Pre-COVID-19, a lot of airline revenue came from business travellers jet setting across the world. Busy C-suite executives are less picky about pricing when their company is picking up the bill.
A cheaper return airfare provides an incentive to book with the same airline rather than go looking for flights via a competitor.
Flexibility provides more opportunities for saving. For our Sydney-London return example we found one-way flights from $736 (via Japan Airlines) and $1,797 (via SWISS and ANA) totalling $2,533. Compared to the Qatar return airfare, you save 6%. Of course, that's if you don't mind an extra stopover.
Consider all your options and fly smarter. You can find savings on flights and compare prices for yourself with Skyscanner.
