How To Find Cheap Flight Deals

Google Flights is a powerful and free flight search engine that helps you find the best airfares by aggregating prices from hundreds of airlines and online travel agencies (OTAs). You start by entering your departure and arrival cities/airports, along with your travel dates (or leave them flexible). It then displays available flights, often highlighting the "Best" options (balancing price and convenience) and the "Cheapest." Key features include an interactive price calendar and graph to visualize fare fluctuations over months, the ability to track prices for specific routes and receive email alerts for drops or predicted increases, and the "Explore" map feature where you can enter your departure airport and see the cheapest destinations worldwide.

Google Flights' "Explore" feature is an invaluable tool for flexible travelers who aren't tied to a specific destination but are looking for inspiration and the best deals. To use it, simply enter your departure airport (or leave it blank if Google can detect your location), then instead of specifying an arrival city, click on the "Explore destinations" option. You can then refine your search by:

• Dates: Choose flexible dates (e.g., "Anytime," "Weekend trip," "1 week in the next 6 months," or specific months).
  
• Interests: Filter by interests like "Beaches," "Skiing," "Europe," "Asia," etc.
• Price: Set a maximum budget.

Google will then display a map showing you the cheapest available flights to various destinations worldwide that fit your criteria, allowing you to discover affordable trips you might not have considered. Clicking on a destination reveals specific flight details and dates.
