Ever been daydreaming of jetting off for the weekend while staring through 20 Excel spreadsheets at work? Well, with so many new tools which focus on finding the lowest priced flights you can make that happen with ease and without breaking the bank. Let’s go over some of the best flight search tools:
Google Flights: Google flights has made it possible to search with very specific parameters, while still leaving your destination, origin and other values very flexible. This site is more useful while on the desktop version. Navigate to the ‘Explore’ option to enter your destination city and other parameters. A map will appear which shows which airports you can connect to for your set price, dates, acceptable flight duration, etc.
Airfare Watchdog : This site is best for travelers who are flexible with their dates and even destination. If you enter your origin city and click search without a destination it will list flight deals from least to most expensive. You then can go into the details to see the dates of travel. Often you can find flights from $40 round trip.
Google ITA Software : The best thing about this flight search tool is that you can use the flexible date option which will let you make a search for one month for the number of days you may want (i.e. 2-4) and you can search to and from multiple airports/cities at the same time. Because the parameters are so wide it does take some time to pull results but being able to look at endless options for a one month period at a time makes it worth it.
