Finding a flight
How do I find a deal?
We have three tools for finding the best deals: our price comparison pages, the handpicked deals and the search by date.
Price comparison pages: This is the raison d'etre of the Cheapflights site. If you have a destination and departure point in mind,simply type them in and we will bring up a list of prices for flights from a huge range of providers. Compare all of the prices and details on one easy-to-navigate page and simply select the best deal and click on the link to the provider. Book directly at the partner's website or by phone.
The offers we bring you come from the biggest airlines, such as BA, to the smallest specialist providers, so you can be sure you're getting the best option, regardless of where it is to be found.
Handpicked deals: This is the place to come if you're looking for inspiration. Not sure where or when you want to fly, but just know you need to get a good deal? Our handpicked deals page brings together the best offers around, hand-selected by one of our travel experts. From a holiday in Kenya to a domestic flight, this is the place where the cheapest offers are rounded up.
Search by date: Have a fixed destination and time of travel in mind? If your dates are fixed, use our "search by date" tool, the online booking engine. Enter your departure and destination point, select your dates and then search with one of our online partners for live availability.

Why can't I find a deal listed on your site?
Our deals listings are not an availability search but a comparison of the best advertised prices. In order to book one of the fares on the Best Deals page, select the website of the airline or agent you wish to book with. Please be aware that the top deals sell out quickly and the flight that you've seen advertised at a certain price may have sold out before you have a chance to book a seat. We do our best to keep the deals correct and up to the minute, but sometimes seats sell so quickly that we cannot keep up. However, if you believe that one of the deals listed is simply inaccurate or unavailable, please let us know. We don't want any mistakes on the site and any feedback you have helps us stay as accurate as possible.
If you are looking for specific dates, we recommend our Book Flights Online page, were you can compare up to six search engines for your dates.
