Be flexible with your flight times. The more flexible the cheaper the deal. For example try flying on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
Try a specialist for international destinations. For example we display deals from Canadian Affair, Journey Latin America and Barwell (who specialise La Manga/ Murcia in Spain). You will find these on our destination pages but here is a useful directory.
Generally speaking you will get a cheaper fare by booking early.
Remember that travel agents do not search all the low fare airlines.
Be flexible, if possible, with your airports. Flying to or from a nearby or secondary airport can save you big bucks.
Always compare like with like: Firstly, watch out for taxes, surcharges and fees. Secondly, some airlines are more comfortable (offering seat allocation, food & drinks) - so price is not always the only factor.
Be patient when searching to save. Saving is worth it. Think of the money you can spend on luxuries when you get there.
