The Best Tools for Flexible Date Searches

See recent posts by Peter Thornton

If you have flexible travel dates, you’ll have a much easier time finding a cheap flight. Searching for flights only on specific travel dates leaves little wiggle room to find that amazing deal you’re looking for on your next trip. You can often save hundreds of dollars by simply flying when it’s cheap and sometimes it only requires shuffling your travel dates by a few days.

How to Find Cheap Flights with Flexible Travel Dates

While there is no magic day to buy a fare, there are certain times of the year and days of the week when it’s usually cheaper to fly . This varies by market but it is usually cheapest to fly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and in the shoulder seasons—late January to early March; May to early June; September to mid-November; and early December.

Flight Search Engines with the Best Flexible Date Tools

However, this is not an exact science and cheap flights can pop-up at any time. Luckily, there are some excellent tools out there that will search multiple travel dates at once so you can always find out when (and where) it’s cheapest to fly. Here are some of our favorite tools for finding the cheapest flights.

How to Use Google Flights to Find Cheap Flights  

Pros: Fast, comprehensive filters integrated into the flex search, explore map.

Cons: Occasional price lag, limited OTA pricing, missing prices on some airlines.

Ever since Google acquired ITA Software, it has added more search features that make it the best overall flexible date search tool. To initiate a flexible date search with a calendar view, just enter a departure city, arrival city, and any desired travel dates. It will then show you a list of flights for those travel dates along with many other search filters where you can fine-tune your search by the number of stops, airlines, price range, flight times, connecting airports, flight duration, and even add any potential bag fees.

Pro Tip: You can enter up to 7 airports in both the departure or arrival fields to search for flights from or to multiple different cities at once. Just use the plus icon to the right of the "Where from?" field.

Adjust the filters as you wish and then click on the calendar icon in the “departure date” field to see two months of pricing at once. You can easily scroll through the months to find the cheapest flights by clicking on the arrows on either side of the calendar. Adjust the trip length it searches for at the bottom left of the calendar box. Unfortunately, you can’t choose a range for the trip length and Google will only search for a specific trip length at one time. It may help to search one-way flights in each direction first and then combine cheap dates in a roundtrip search since not all airlines sell one-way tickets for half the roundtrip price.  

If your dates are set in stone, but you’re flexible on where you want to travel, Google’s explore feature is an excellent tool to just browse where there are cheap flights on the map. Just enter your departure city and travel dates—leave the arrival city blank or just type in a general region such as “Europe” or “South America”. It will then give you a map view with prices all over the globe. You can zoom in/out and scroll around the world to find where it is cheap to fly on those dates.

And for the holy grail of flexibility, just enter a departure city and choose the “flexible dates” radio button when choosing dates. It will give you the option to choose any month in the next six months or all months. And you can choose to search for a weekend, 1 week, or 2-week trip. The map will then show the best pricing from your city to destinations all over the world with those parameters.

Although I consider Google the best overall flexible date search tool, it’s not perfect. It does not show pricing on all airlines—most notably Southwest and often misses other airlines such as Aeromexico and Turkish Airlines. Occasionally, the pricing is off and will jump during the final step. Sometimes you can find lower prices on other search engines that link to smaller online travel agencies (OTAs) or airline sites that save the best fares for direct bookings.

If you want to get into an even more detailed search, you can try ITA’s matrix , but for a simpler and faster search tool with most of the same filters, I would recommend starting any flexible date search with Google Flights. But don’t forget about the others or you may miss out on a cheaper flight.

How to Use Kayak to Find Cheap Flights

Pros: Combines airlines, a thorough search of OTAs, holiday travel search.

Cons: Slow, filters don’t always adjust results, lag on updating prices.

Kayak is a good search tool for those who want to search for a cheap flight with a range of trip lengths. You may be willing to stay an extra day or two or leave a day earlier in order to find the best deal. To start a flexible date search, enter your departure and arrival cities (you can insert up to 3 in each). When choosing your dates, you’ll see color-coded approximate pricing on the calendar, but for a better flex search choose either “Weekend” or “Month” from the left-hand column.

The weekend search allows you search for cheap flights departing Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, returning Sunday or Monday, over a 4-week period. The month search allows you to choose a start date for the search and your desired trip duration. You can make this a set number or a range of up to 7 nights. For example, you can choose a trip length of 7 nights, 6-8 nights, 4-11 nights, or 26-33 nights, but not 10-20 nights. It will then search flights for 4 weeks from the start date and give you the results in a calendar view.

You can then adjust a number of filters on the side to refine your search, but be warned that these filters may not always adjust the prices in the calendar correctly. If you’ve done a roundtrip search, you’ll choose a departure date first and then it will give you a range of dates to choose for your return flight. Once you’ve chosen dates at the price you want, it will give you a specific flight. It’s always a good idea to click on the “find more options for the same dates” link in the bottom left of this pop-up. This will show you more flight options—some of which may even be a lower price.

Kayak is great at finding prices from many different OTAs, which means it may unearth cheaper flights than Google. It has some excellent search filters, but the pricing on the flexible date calendar doesn’t always line up when these are adjusted. Its major downfall is that it does not include all airlines and routings. Plus, it’s a little slow and clunky to use.

Kayak also has an explore tool similar to Google. Just enter a departure city and leave the arrival blank by clicking on the “Can’t decide where to go?” text. This gives you some great flexibility by being able to choose any month up to a year out or “anytime” to search for cheap flights to anywhere throughout the year. It also has a holiday search tool where you can search for cheap flights during specific holiday periods.

How to Use Skyscanner to Find Cheap Flights  

Pros: Simple flex search in list form, includes most airlines, wide range of OTAs.

Cons: Lack of filters before search, pricing on the calendar is not always correct.  

Skyscanner is one of the most popular search engines worldwide. It was one of the first to adopt low-cost carriers in its search results and it continues to provide a very clean and straightforward search for travelers with flexible travel plans.

For flexible search results, click on the “whole month” tab when choosing dates. This will allow you to choose any specific month or just choose the cheapest month. A calendar will then appear allowing you to see the best prices for both the outbound and inbound flight at the same time. These results may not be entirely accurate since the price for the return date may depend on the departure date, but it’s a great way to get an idea of when cheap flights may be offered. You can also choose to see the results in a bar graph format if you wish.

Once you’ve chosen dates, it will bring you to the list of flights where you can filter your search further to weed out any airlines, trip durations, or the number of stops as you wish. One nice filter on Skyscanner is the ability to choose “only show airlines with flexible tickets”. With the recent uncertainty surrounding travel plans and restrictions, having flexible tickets can give you some much-needed peace of mind when booking a future flight.

Like Google and Kayak, Skyscanner also allows you to be flexible in where you want to travel. You can search for flights from your city to specific countries or to everywhere in the world. Just like with set destination searches, you can choose specific travel dates, certain months, or just choose the “cheapest month”. It will then give you results in list form, giving you the cheapest prices by country. After clicking on the country, it will drop down a list of prices to individual cities.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to filter out airlines or certain schedules before doing a flex search. The only filter possible before you conduct your search is to choose nonstop flights only. This means you can’t weed out any low-cost airlines until you are on the specific dates landing page.

Skyscanner is great for its simplicity and it includes different OTAs that sometimes have lower fares than what you’ll find on Kayak. The lack of filters available before you conduct a search, however, means it’s often easier to find exactly what you’re looking for with a flex search on Google or Kayak first, and then checking Skyscanner to see if there is better pricing.

How to Use Momondo to Find Cheap Flights

Pros: Searches the most OTAs, often has lowest prices.

Cons: Slow to show all results, lacks a true flex search, requires researching policies on smaller OTAs.

To be honest, Momondo is not the best at flexible date searches, but I decided to include it in this list simply because it is the best meta search out there for finding the absolute lowest prices available. This is because Momondo sources the most OTAs—some of which you may need to research more on your own to know any caveats when booking. It’s safe to book with any of these OTAs, but there may be different change/cancelation policies and additional fees. Also, there may be a delay in ticketing on some of the smaller OTAs and prices are not guaranteed until your flight actually gets ticketed.

Momondo, managed by Kayak, has a similar flex search function in which you can opt to search for and compare cheap flights by selecting "weekend" or "month". Additionally, you can enter specific dates and select the option to show flights for anywhere within a range of up to three days from those selected dates. Once you conduct a date search, flexible or exact, you’ll get a bar graph showing pricing over a three-week period around your chosen travel dates. This graph is not completely accurate most of the time, but it can be a good indicator to check other dates if you see a big swing surrounding your dates.

My best suggestion is to first use another search engine, such as Google or Kayak, to find dates with the best price. Then, double check those exact dates on Momondo to see if you can find a lower price. Sometimes, the exact same flights are hundreds less on Momondo than other sites—especially on Star Alliance carriers. Other times the price difference may be minimal and you’ll have to decide if it’s worth it for the potential drawbacks. Just make sure you read the fine print about any extra change, cancelation, or foreign transaction fees on the actual booking site before you purchase.

Airline Sites with the Best Flexible Date Search Tools

In addition to meta search engines and OTAs, there are plenty of airlines that have great flexible search tools on their own websites. Although you won’t be able to compare other airlines with these searches, you can sometimes find lower fares on an airline’s site than anywhere else. And in some cases—like Southwest—it’s the only place you’ll find those airlines’ fares. These flexible date searches can sometimes be hidden or hard to find, so I’ll give links and/or explain how to find the most popular airline-specific flexible date search tools below.

How to Find Cheap Flights on Southwest

You won’t be able to book Southwest fares anywhere else so it’s always a good idea to check its low fare calendar in addition to other search engines. There is a link right below the arrival box on the home page or just go here .

How to Find Cheap Flights on JetBlue

JetBlue has a somewhat hidden flex search tool. You can find a link by clicking on the “Book” header and then choosing “ Best Fare Finder ” or just go here . It will first display just the current month, but if you scroll you can see other month options. It’s somewhat annoying that you can’t just jump to a specific month, but you can eventually see JetBlue’s entire booking calendar on one page.

How to Find Cheap Flights on Delta

Delta’s flex search is also hidden from its homepage. Use this link to start a search in calendar view by clicking on the “my dates are flexible” check box. Delta’s flex search has a unique feature that allows you to filter out Basic Economy fares if you wish.

How to Find Cheap Flights on United

From United’s home page, click on the “Calendar Shop” checkbox before searching. Then, just choose a month and desired trip length and you’ll be brought to a flexible date calendar. Another option is to start your search from the advanced search page and click on the “My dates are flexible” checkbox.

How to Find Cheap Flights on Alaska Airlines

On Alaska’s homepage, click on the “ all search options ” box just below the “adults” dropdown field. From there, you can click on a “Flexible dates” checkbox to start a search with a calendar view. You can also switch to a calendar view after doing an exact date search by choosing the “calendar” radio button in the “view by” section on the left-hand side of the page when choosing flights.

How to Find Cheap Flights on Hawaiian Airlines

At the bottom of the search box on Hawaiianairlines.com , you’ll see a link for a “Price Calendar”. Click this link to see fares in a calendar view. You can also toggle to a bar graph chart if you prefer.

How to Find Cheap Flights on Spirit

To find a monthly calendar on Spirit.com , you’ll first have to conduct an exact date search. This will default to a one-week flex search. You can toggle to a month view search by clicking “month” at the top of weekly view of fares. Toggle between the months using the arrows on either side of the calendar.

How to Find Cheap Flights on Frontier

Frontier also requires you to first search for exact dates and then shows you comparative prices for surrounding dates on a slider at the top of the following page. Unfortunately, you can’t exclude Discount Den fares from the calendar view, but you’ll notice that the standard fares are usually only slightly higher than the Discount Den fares you see on the calendar view.

How to Find Cheap Flights on Allegiant

Like the other ultra-low-cost carriers, Allegiant requires you to search for exact dates first. On the following page, you’ll see a “calendar view” button on the top right of both the departing and returning flight sections. Click these buttons to see fares on a flexible date calendar. Booking a roundtrip flight on Allegiant often gives you a small discount.

I’ve only listed the major U.S. airline sites that allow you to see fares on a monthly calendar, but there are many international carriers that have this feature on their websites as well. Since there are many airlines around the world that only sell tickets on the company’s website, it’s always a good idea to do a Wikipedia search for the airport you are flying from to find out if there are any specific airlines you should check separately.

At Airfarewatchdog, we strive to check all avenues for cheap flights and the best way to find out when prices drop is to sign up for airfare alerts . Once you are alerted to a price you like, use these methods to search for cheap airfare with flexible travel dates and you’ll be enjoying your next vacation in no time.

Frequently asked questions

What do i need to know before booking a flight.

There are various factors to consider when booking a flight including cost, fare classes, baggage policies, the complications of flying long haul, and complying with airport regulations. To make your booking journey smoother KAYAK has developed a comprehensive flight guide including insights on finding affordable flights, packing efficiently, and utilizing the best travel tools.

What is the cheapest day of the week to book a flight?

The best day to book your flight depends on a number of factors, but there are general trends that you can follow to increase your chances of cheaper plane tickets. Based on an analysis of KAYAK data for all flights departing from inside United States over the last 12 months, the cheapest day to fly for domestic flights is Wednesday. For international flights, Tuesday had the cheapest tickets on average.

Which month of the year are flight prices lowest?

It’s well established that flights in the low season are generally cheaper than ticket prices during the high season. That means that knowing which month to find the lowest priced plane tickets will depend heavily on seasonality and your destination. While avoiding peak travel times can help you keep costs down, our data shows that the month with the lowest priced plane tickets for domestic flights based on all searches made on KAYAK in the last 12 months was January, while the most expensive was August. If you’re booking an international flight, then January is the cheapest month to fly and December the most expensive.

When is the best time to buy plane tickets - Last minute or in advance?

Last minute flight deals are definitely up for grabs but when exactly to purchase your plane tickets will depend on where you’re traveling to and from. Based on all data for flight searches made on KAYAK over the last 12 months, prices for domestic flights remained below the average price up to 1 weeks before departure. For international flights, deals could still be had up to 1 weeks prior to the departure date, with prices remaining below average. If you’re flexible, KAYAK brings you both advance and last minute one-way and round-trip flight deals.

Can flying international flights with a layover save money on airfare?

For many long-haul international flights, flying non-stop is not possible and you will have to fly with a layover. Some routes will offer both and you could consider flying with a layover for a number of reasons. Firstly, breaking up what would otherwise be a long-haul flight, taking a rest and then completing the journey might make the flight more manageable. Secondly, prices can also be lower than non-stop flights, so while it might take longer for you to reach your destination, you could save money. We’ve looked at prices over the last 12 months for the 100 most popular international destinations for KAYAK users and on average, prices for non-stop flights were cheaper than flights with a layover.

How does KAYAK find such low flight prices?

KAYAK processes over 2 billion flight queries annually and displays results from hundreds of airlines and third party sites, allowing it to find a variety of flight prices and options. It also displays results from 2M+ properties along with rental cars, vacation packages, activities and millions of verified reviews so users can see as many available travel options as possible.

How do I find the best flight deals on KAYAK?

A simple flight search at https://www.kayak.com/flights scans for prices on hundreds of travel sites in seconds. We gather flight deals from across the web and put them in one place. Then on the search results page you can use various filters to compare options for the same flight and easily choose the best flight deal from all of the deals coming straight from the travel sites to your screen, with no extra fee from KAYAK.

How can Hacker Fares save me money?

Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets on different airlines when it can save you money over a traditional round-trip ticket.

Does KAYAK query more flight providers than competitors?

Yes, KAYAK has access to more data and information than online travel agencies and consistently outperforms the competition in accuracy, globally.

How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy?

KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a given destination and date is likely to change within 7 days, so travelers know whether to wait or book now.

What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care?

Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you flights up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. That way, you can see if leaving a day or two earlier will find you a better deal. You can also select the flexible "weekend" or "month" search options to widen your search range and find the cheapest price that works for you.

Kiwi’s Flexible Flight Search – How It Works And Why It Makes Us The Best Flights Search Engine For Flexible Dates

Kiwi.com’s goal is to make travel as simple and affordable for everyone through flexible flight destination/location search and ticket types.

How To Search For Flights With Flexible Travel Dates And Locations on Kiwi.com

Get your hands on some unbeatable flexible travel deals with just a few clicks. See how you can do this below.

Step 1 – Log on to our homepage .

Step 2 – Type in the airport you want to fly from.

Step 3 – Instead of choosing a city you want to fly to, choose the ‘anywhere’ option.

Step 4 – For the departure date section, click ‘anytime.’

Step 5 – Wait for the page to load with all your travel options.

A low-fare tip: you don’t have to leave yourself wide open with the ‘anytime’ option for travel dates. You can also choose +1, +3, and +5 days to give yourself some level of flexibility. For example, say you had the whole month of June off for your summer holidays but only want to go away for two weeks; this would benefit you.

• What You Need To Know About Flexible Tickets

Flexible tickets authorize passengers to change the terms of the ticket after they have purchased it. Once someone has purchased one of these airfares, they can cancel it whenever they want with 80% of the refund returned or change the departure to a later date, depending on which one they’ve bought. While these tickets have huge benefits, it’s important to know that they come with a strict set of rules you should know before booking.

• The Types Of Flexible Flight Tickets

Kiwi provides three different flexible tickets that come with their own set of rules. Before booking a flight with us, you’ll be asked which one you want to purchase. Let’s break down each ticket.

Saver Tickets

Saver tickets are the most affordable of the three. They’re usually booked by anyone who has concrete plans and doesn’t plan on making any changes.

Saver Ticket Rules

• If you need to make any changes to your trip, you must pay the full price for a new fare.
• If you have to cancel your flight altogether, you will receive a €10 credit that can be used with Kiwi.com. This is only for bookings over €20.
• Any changes or cancellations you want can be made up to 48 hours before the departure time.
• Anyone who has booked the flight within a week of the departure date can make changes up to 4 hours before take off.

Standard Tickets

Standard tickets give travelers some flexibility, but not as much as the flexi ticket. They’re for those who think they might have to change their flight date but have no plans to cancel it totally.

Standard Ticket Rules

• If you need to change your flight dates, you’ll only have to pay whatever the difference is in price. Say the price is lower or the same; you won’t have to pay anything, it’s absolutely free.
• If you have to cancel your trip, unfortunately, you won’t get a refund; you’ll only receive the €10 credit, like the saver ticket.
• Any fare changes must be made at the latest 48 hours before departure, unless you booked your ticket within a week of the departure date. In that case, you can apply changes 4 hours before take off.

Changes to a standard ticket can only be made once. If you have to make another change, you must follow the same rules for saver tickets.

Flexi Tickets

Flexi Tickets guarantee travelers the freedom to book airfares without worrying about not getting their money back if they change their mind last minute. Backpackers, in particular, love our Flexi Ticket option.

Flexi Ticket Rules

• If you want to change the dates of your departure, you can do so freely. All you have to do is pay the difference between flight tickets, or if it’s less, you don’t have to pay anything.
• If you need to take advantage of the free flight cancellation option for your booking, you can do so up to 48 hours before departure, and you’ll receive 80% of the fee you paid to the carrier, including bags and seats. You’ll have a choice of how you want to be paid, either through money or Kiwi Credit.
• Like the other options, if you booked the fare within a week of departure, you can amend it up to 4 hours before.

Please note that when a customer cancels a Standard or Flexi Ticket with us, we usually refund them even if the carrier has a different refund policy. If, in the future, they decide to reimburse you with the money, we will keep that as a service fee for refunding you already.

Standard Ticket VS. Flexible Tickets – Which One Should You Choose

Standard and Flexible Tickets both come with their perks, but they’re also for two different kinds of travelers. Standard tickets are for someone who will travel to the destination, regardless of whether their plans change; it just might be later. In comparison, flexible tickets fall into the category of people who may or may not actually go on the trip but want to have something booked just in case.

Before choosing the right ticket for you, ask yourself the following questions.

• Is there a chance your dates of travel will change?
• Could there be a possibility that you don’t go at all?
• What Is The Difference Between Flexi And Saver Flights?

Flexi and saver Tickets are completely different from each other.

Flexi Tickets come with a variety of advantages, such as an 80% refund and simple flight changes, with you only having to pay the difference. Whereas with a saver ticket, you don’t get any of these perks. If you run into any trouble and need to adapt your itinerary, you’ll be forced to pay for the change, or if you cancel, you won’t get a refund.

How to Find Cheap Flights When Dates are Flexible

• Kenneth Holland
• September 18, 2023

We’ve all been there, haven’t we? You’re planning that dream vacation, daydreaming of exotic places, only to be rudely awakened by exorbitant flight prices that could fund a small kingdom.

But hold on my dear co-hort. If you’re not bound by pesky things like specific travel dates, you’re already ahead of the game.

Yes, knowing how to find cheap flights when dates are flexible is like having a golden ticket in the travel world. Some may say it’s all luck, but it’s not. Buckle your bib…eh, seatbelt, because here are some top tips and strategies to snag the best deal on those sometimes elusive airfares.

Be Flexible on Departure and Arrival Cities (If Possible)

Ah, flexibility – not just a useful trait for yoga enthusiasts. If you can be flexible with your departure and arrival cities, you’re one step closer to bagging that dreamy airfare deal. Here’s how to work this little bit of travel magic:

1. Opt for Alternate Airports

Many major cities have more than one airport . Flying into or out of an alternate airport can sometimes mean significant savings. For instance, instead of flying into LAX in Los Angeles, consider Burbank or Long Beach. In New York? JFK might be the crowd-pleaser, but don’t snub LaGuardia or Newark. Your wallet will thank you.

2. Consider Nearby Cities

Sometimes, you find the cheapest savings aren’t even in your desired city. Plot twist, right? If you’re aiming for San Francisco, flights to San Jose or Oakland might be cheaper, and they’re both just a short drive or train ride away. You get to see an extra city, and you save money. It’s like buying one shirt and getting a second one at half price. Score!

Use Google Flights

Alright, put down that crystal ball. You don’t need psychic abilities to find cheap flights; you just need Google Flights. The future of cheap flight- booking is already here, folks.

1. The Price Graph Feature

Why guess when Google Flights can literally show you when it’s the cheapest flight to fly ? The Price Graph feature gives you a visual of prices over a range of dates. It’s like having X-ray vision, but for flight prices.

2. Explore Destinations

For those times when wanderlust hits and you think, “I just want to go somewhere… but where?” Google Flights has your back. Their “Explore” feature lets you input your home city and see prices for the cheapest flights to various destinations. You might discover an affordable gem you hadn’t even considered.

3. Price Tracking

Are you the sort who sets ten alarms in the morning? Then you’ll appreciate this: Google Flights can notify you when prices drop for a return flight on your desired route. It’s like having a personal butler who taps you on the shoulder saying, “Pardon me, but your cheaper flight is ready.”

4. Mix and Match Airlines

Don’t be loyal to just one airline . It’s not a relationship; it’s business. Google Flights allows you to see combo options, which means departing on one airline and returning on another. It’s the mixtape of flight bookings.

Speaking of Google Flights, Check Out These Engines & OTA’s:

While Google Flights might be the dazzling starlet of the flight search party, it’s not the only one on the red carpet. There are a bevy of other options out there, each with its own set of features that are almost as irresistible as a plate of freshly baked cookies. Let’s take a look at the competition:

Skyscanner (Use the Flexible Dates Feature)

Now, if Google Flights is the diligent student in the front row, Skyscanner is its laid-back, yet equally intelligent counterpart chilling in the back. Its flexible dates feature lets you see prices for a range of dates, much like that aforementioned starlet. Oh, and its “Everywhere” search? It’s like the mystery flavor lollipop of flight searches – you’re not sure where you’ll end up, but the journey’s sure to be sweet.

Momondo is like that friend who has the inside scoop on all the best deals and isn’t afraid to share. Its colorful interface isn’t just pretty; it’s also incredibly functional, offering multi-city searches and even a nifty flight insights feature that gives advice on the best days to fly. Who knew a search engine could also be a travel guru?

Kiwi? No, we’re not talking about the fruit or the bird here. Kiwi.com is a gem for those willing to be a bit adventurous. Its specialty? Piecing together different airlines for the cheapest possible journey. The result? Occasionally quirky layovers and a truly unique itinerary. It’s like making a pizza with both classic and unexpected toppings. A bit of a wild choice, but oh so satisfying.

Kayak (Can be good… sometimes)

Kayak is the classic hit that’s been on the charts for years. Sometimes it’s the top song, other times it’s overshadowed by newer tunes. While it’s known for its comprehensive searches, be sure to cross-check with other platforms, as sometimes the deals might not be as hot as they seem. Remember, even the best of us have our off days.

Timing Is Everything, Except When It's Not: Finding Flights a Week Before and After Your Ideal Date

Let’s face it: in an ideal world, we’d all plan our vacations six months in advance, nailing down the best deals with the precision of a surgeon. But back here in the real world? Life happens. Maybe you were waiting for your paycheck, perhaps a spontaneous whim took hold, or you just plain forgot. (Don’t worry, we won’t judge too harshly.) The point is, sometimes you’re trying to find that magical fare just a smidge off your perfect date. Well, dear traveler, here’s how to turn that near-miss into a near-hitch.

1. The Magical World of +/- 3 Days

Most booking engines, like the high and mighty Google Flights, Skyscanner, and even the sometimes underwhelming Kayak, offer a +/- 3 days (or similar) feature. It’s like browsing through alternate realities where your vacation started on a Tuesday instead of a Saturday. Engage this feature, and marvel as price options cascade like a waterfall of savings.

2. Fare Alerts: Your New Best Friend

If you haven’t already set up fare alerts, what have you been doing? Seriously. Platforms like Skyscanner and Google Flights allow you to track prices for specific routes. Should a cheaper option pop up a week around your desired date, you’ll be the first to know. It’s akin to having an insider at a private auction. Sure, everyone else will find out eventually, but by then you’ll already be sipping that in-flight mimosa.

3. Flexible Destinations: Go Where the Deal Is

While we’re talking flexibility, don’t just stop at dates. If you’re open to various destinations (and why wouldn’t you be, you adventurous soul?), keep an eye on deal newsletters like Scott’s Cheap Flights or The Flight Deal. Sometimes, the week before or after your ideal date, another destination entirely has a deal so sweet it’d be a crime to pass up. It’s the travel equivalent of going to the store for bread and leaving with a discounted gourmet cake.

4. Forget Round Trips; Embrace One-Ways

It might seem counterintuitive, but booking two one-way tickets can occasionally lead to better deals than a round trip, especially if you’re dancing around specific dates. Different airlines might have offers on different days, and this method allows you to cherry-pick the best of both worlds. It’s like choosing both chocolate AND vanilla when everyone else sticks to plain old swirl.

5. Cast a Wide (Flight) Net

Remember that bit about checking multiple search engines? It’s not just clever advice; it’s downright essential when you’re this close to the wire. Different platforms have varied deals with airlines and may display different fares. So yes, cross-referencing search results is a chore, but one that could save you big bucks.

Finding the Best Airfares for a Given Month: Because Who Needs a Specific Date Anyway?

Alright, you savvy wanderluster, so you’ve got a month in mind but no particular date pinned down? That’s like walking into an all-you-can-eat buffet and wanting a bit of everything. Luckily, the airfare buffet can be just as delectable (and potentially less calorie-laden). Let’s dive into the smorgasbord of options available to find the best fare for your flexible month of choice.

1. Month-View Calendar: Your Visual Aid

Many booking platforms offer a month-view calendar, displaying the lowest prices for each day. It’s like seeing the entire chessboard before making your move. Google Flights and Skyscanner, for instance, let you set your month, then visually feast on the fluctuating prices. So, if you’re a visual learner, these sites might just be your ticket to savings.

2. Fare Prediction and Historical Data

Platforms like Hopper and Kayak (yes, we’re giving them another shout-out) use historical data to predict future prices. They can guide you on whether to book now or wait for a potentially better deal in your chosen month. It’s like a financial advisor for your travel plans. So, why dive blindly into the future when you can take a sneak peek?

3. Use the “Cheapest Month” Feature

Some booking engines, like Skyscanner, offer a “Cheapest Month” option. If you have a rough idea of when you’d like to travel but can shift it for the right price and flexible date, this feature is a godsend. It’s like finding a golden ticket in your chocolate bar – a pleasant surprise that could save you a pretty penny.

4. Beware of Peak Seasons and Special Events

Knowledge is power, folks. Before setting your sights on a month, it’s wise to check for any major events, festivals, or peak seasons. Sure, Carnival in Rio sounds fun, but if you’re budget-conscious, prices might skyrocket. It’s like trying to buy roses on Valentine’s Day. Be smart and adjust your dates accordingly.

5. Join Fare Alert Newsletters

Apart from platform-specific alerts, join newsletters like Scott’s Cheap Flights or Airfarewatchdog that send hot deals for wide date ranges. They’re like those coupons you get in the mail, but for something you actually want. When an irresistible deal for your desired month lands in your inbox, you’ll be poised and ready to pounce.

Using Skiplagged: It's Like Finding a Secret Door, But Airlines Want It Locked

Alright, savvy traveler, we’re about to venture into slightly murkier waters. The kind where you find treasure but have to watch out for pirates. Enter Skiplagged – a platform so sneaky in its approach to finding cheap flights, it has airlines clutching their pearls and gasping in horror.

1. What’s the Big Deal?

For the uninitiated, Skiplagged specializes in “hidden city” ticketing. This is where you book a flight to a less popular destination with a layover in your actual desired city, and then simply disembark during the layover. Sneaky, right? It’s like buying a ticket to a concert but leaving after seeing your favorite opening act because you weren’t really there for the main show.

2. Why Airlines Aren’t Sending Skiplagged Love Letters

Airlines set prices based on demand, not distance. That’s why a direct flight to a popular city might be pricier than one with a layover there. Skiplagged capitalizes on this quirk, but airlines see it as a violation of their fare rules. It’s the equivalent of finding out someone’s exploiting a loophole in a game you created. Can you hear the distant sound of lawyers rubbing their hands in glee?

3. The Legal Tangle

A few airlines have taken legal action against Skiplagged. While these attempts haven’t been particularly fruitful, it’s a stark reminder that this method is frowned upon. It’s a bit like sneaking into the VIP section of a club; just because you haven’t been caught doesn’t mean the bouncers are okay with it.

4. Risks and Tips for the Bold Traveler

If you’re thinking of dabbling in the “hidden city” arts, remember:

Never Check-In Luggage: It will go to the final destination on your ticket. So unless you’re planning a surprise visit to a random city, carry-on only.

Use Sparingly: Airlines might not notice one skipped leg. But if it becomes a habit? You risk losing frequent flier points or even getting banned. It’s like stealing cookies from the jar; once might go unnoticed, but do it often, and there’ll be consequences.

One-way Tickets: If you miss one leg of a round-trip journey, airlines usually cancel the rest of your itinerary. So, for this trick, it’s one-way tickets or the highway.

So, while Skiplagged offers a tantalizing option for scoring great deals, it’s essential to tread with caution. Remember, in the grand game of airfare chess, it’s always good to be a few moves ahead, but never at the cost of getting checkmated.

To Conclude This Flexy Party…

We’ve danced through the quirks of flight bookings, side-stepped some airline pitfalls, and winked at a few sneaky tricks along the way. From the classic moves of Google Flights to the daring cha-cha of Skiplagged, you’re now armed with a toolkit of strategies that even the savviest globetrotters would envy.

Remember, the travel world is your oyster (even if airlines sometimes act like the grumpy oyster farmers). With a touch of flexibility and a sprinkle of cunning, the world’s best deals are yours for the taking. Go forth and conquer those skies!

1. Is there really a big difference between various flight search engines? Absolutely! Each flight search engine has its partnerships, quirks, and special algorithms. It’s like comparing shopping at Walmart to browsing Amazon. They might have overlapping deals, but each offers unique finds. The more you check, the better your chances.

2. What’s the deal with Skiplagged and hidden city ticketing? Skiplagged capitalizes on the “hidden city” method – booking a ticket with your destination as a layover and skipping the departure city until the last leg. While it’s sneaky and often cheaper, airlines aren’t fans, and there can be repercussions. Use at your own risk!

3. I’ve heard of fare alerts, but do they really help? Would we lie to you? Fare alerts are like having a personal shopping assistant who only buzzes when they spot a killer deal. Perfect for those with a touch of laziness or just really busy lives.

4. Can airlines really take action against me for using tricks like Skiplagged? In theory, yes. They can revoke frequent flier miles or even ban you. It’s a rare occurrence, but remember: every time you play the game, you’re rolling the dice.

5. How reliable are month-view calendars for flight prices? Pretty reliable, actually. They give a broad view of flight price trends for the month, helping you pinpoint cheaper days. Still, as with everything in life and online travel agencies, it’s always a good idea to double-check.

6. Why are peak seasons and special events a big deal when booking flights? Supply, meet demand. Peak seasons and major events drive up demand, making prices soar. Always research flight times to your chosen destination to avoid getting caught in a tourist price trap.

7. Why would I book two one-way tickets instead of a round trip? Sometimes, different airlines offer deals on different days. By booking two one-way tickets, you could potentially snag two deals. It’s like getting the best toppings from two different pizza places for the lowest price for one epic meal.

However, this does not influence our evaluations. Our opinions are our own. Here is a list of our partners and here's how we make money .

So you want to travel on a budget. Who doesn’t? Yet it’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the cheap travel tips, hacks and strategies out there that promise unbelievable deals on airfare and hotels.

In reality, there’s only one important tactic for traveling cheaply: being flexible with your travel dates, destination and plans. It might sound simple — or even simplistic — but you would be surprised how few travelers are willing to take this piece of advice to heart.

To be fair, this flexibility-first mindset requires a paradigm shift for many in terms of how they start planning vacations. It requires moving from this type of planning:

“I want to go to Amsterdam from Sept. 5 through 13.”

“I want to go somewhere fun in September.”

For some, this degree of flexibility is simply impossible. Navigating travel planning between work, family and other constraints requires specific dates and plans. Yet for those who can loosen their preconceptions about how to plan travel, it can lead to big savings — and maybe even more fun.

This approach is useful whether you’re paying with cash or using miles , and even for all of the price ranges, from budget to luxury.

Why rigidity is so expensive

The cost of travel depends on the interplay between many factors, including:

Randomness.

Number of options.

When you make specific plans from the get-go, you essentially constrain the last variable — you give yourself fewer options. This means that the cost of your trip will depend entirely on the first three variables, which are completely outside of your control.

This economic interplay will sometimes fall in your favor, and you’ll score a good deal on the exact destination and dates you wanted. But more often than not, you’ll end up paying more than average simply by starting with a severely limited set of options.

How to plan travels with flexibility

You might be asking yourself, “How am I supposed to start planning travel if I have to keep everything up in the air?” While a fair question, it misses an essential component: You can still set some boundaries around your search.

Example parameters might include:

I want to travel in the fall.

I want to sit on the beach.

I don’t want to spend more than $X.

From here, you can begin weighing different destinations and dates to see which could maximize your preferences. For example, you might start with flights to Hawaii , but notice that airfare is through the roof. So you switch to the Caribbean , narrow your interest to a few destinations with cheap flights and then start researching hotel prices.

Finally, you can find the dates and destinations that offer the best combination of price and features, then book your travel.

This might sound remedial, but think about how many times you (or someone you know) have gone about it the other way — by starting with dates and a destination, then accepting whatever costs come up.

The right tools for the job

As this flexible travel approach gains in popularity, travel booking sites and services have begun offering helpful tools specifically designed for the task.

Airfare deal alerts

Airfare deal newsletters, like Scott’s Cheap Flights and Dollar Flight Club, are how many travelers start thinking in terms of flexibility. These newsletters and alert services send a blast to subscribers whenever they discover a low-cost airfare deal.

But there’s usually a catch: These airfare deals are available only on certain dates, or to very specific (sometimes random-feeling) destinations. You can’t sit around waiting for a great deal from Atlanta to Sydney, because that may not come around in time.

But you can wait for an exciting fare from Atlanta to … somewhere, and jump on it when it becomes available.

Google Flights Explore

Many travel search engines, like Kayak or Orbitz, have highly flexible search tools.

But Google Flights takes it a step further than the travel sites that let you search for flexible dates. It offers a feature that is specifically targeted to even more flexible travel. It’s called “Explore” and it allows you to search in a totally wide-open way.

To use the tool, enter your departure city, the length of trip you’re looking for and your price range, and Google returns a handful of great deals to a bunch of destinations at random times within your date range.

Compared with a deal alert service, the drawback is that the available deals displayed depend on when you conduct your search. You might just miss a great deal on Tuesday if you do your search on Monday, for example, but it’s a great way to consider many exciting options at once.

Points and miles

Travel bloggers love to rave about how they scored a first-class ticket to Japan using miles, but they don’t often describe their true secret: extreme flexibility.

Redeeming points and miles for reward travel all but requires a high degree of flexibility to get the most value from them. For one thing, the availability of these flights and rooms can be very spotty. Before you can even determine if an award booking is a good deal or not, you need to actually find an available award booking option.

For another, airlines often double the price or more during high-demand dates.

In short: If you’re looking to use miles on a specific flight on a specific day, you might either pay too much — or not be able to score a ticket at all.

That’s where flexibility comes in. To make things easier, many airlines offer award calendars that let you see which dates and prices are available by month, which can be especially helpful when rooting out hard-to-find premium cabin tickets.

Stretch yourself

If you’ve always wondered why other people can find great travel deals while you invariably pay out the nose, now you know why. Being flexible with your travel plans is the best way to knock down the cost of travel, period.

What’s more: It can be a lot of fun. Rather than planning exactly where you want to go and when, you can let the deals inform your next vacation. This openness can help you travel to places and have experiences that you never would have otherwise. It doesn’t mean you have to book travel last minute or scrap planning altogether. It just means letting go of two variables — the when and the where — and seeing what comes up.

If it doesn’t work out, you can always book travel the old-fashioned way.

Flights with Flexible Dates

Flexible flight search:.

Some travel search engines are more helpful than others when searching for a flexible flight. Some popular online travel agencies have disabled flexible travel date searches to comply with government rules about tax-included airfare advertising. However, travelers still have several options for plus or minus 1-to-3 day flexible searching:

• Google Flights

Keep in mind that our Tripbase Flight Search compares prices among many providers, including many that offer flexible search.

Flexible Flight Tips:

• Shop for airfare on Tuesdays in the early afternoon to find the best airline sales
• Plan to depart on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturday, which are generally the cheapest days to travel
• Set up airfare alerts to be notified when better rates become available
• Consider early morning and late night flights if your schedule is flexible
• Opt for a layover if there’s a huge price difference and you’re not in a rush
• Compare surrounding airports in case a nearby one is more affordable

Conclusion:

For budget-minded travelers, the pros of flexible date travel often outweigh the cons. But even if your travel itinerary is set in stone, these flight tips can still help you save some money. To find valuable information about flights with flexible dates for your upcoming trip, head over to the Tripbase Flight Search Tool to search by city, airport, and dates of travel. And if you’re worried about having to change or cancel your flight at the last minute, read our blog with everything you need to know about Flights with Changeable Dates .

How FlightsFinder finds you the cheapest flexible flights with the world's best comparison sites

We have developed one of the world's most powerful flexible flight search engines here at FlightsFinder. Search 'Everywhere' from your local departure airport or search for particular destinations and view flexible date prices via our calendar. You can select the cheapest flights three days before or after your chosen dates, the whole month or the entire year. You can filter results on our calendar to show direct only flights if you wish. We also have your back if you are looking for flights with no cancellation fees. Select the filter which says 'no change fees' on our primary search engine, and we will show you flexible flights that you can alter without any charge. We also allow you to quickly compare the world's best comparison engines from one dashboard, including KAYAK, Skyscanner, momondo, Kiwi.com, Jetradar, etc.

How to find cheap flexible flights: Questions & Answers

What are the top 5 flexible flight search engines.

The top 5 flexible flight search engines, if you are searching for flexible flight dates, are Skyscanner, KAYAK, momondo, Kiwi.com and Google flights. These are powerful search engines with some form of calendar view showing the cheapest days to book your flight. Here at FlightsFinder, we use data from multiple aggregators to populate our flight calendar, making it one of the most complete you can see online. The difference with our search engine is that once you have identified the cheapest days to fly, you can then go on and compare all of the world's leading search engines from one dashboard, potentially saving you up to 20% off your next airline ticket.

How much can I save with flexible flights?

The number one factor affecting flight prices are the days you choose to fly. The savings can be truly remarkable if you look a month or two either side of your flight times or even check a few days. For example, if you wanted to fly from Toronto to Mexico in May, It could set you back by about C$535. However, if you used our flexible search, it will tell you that if you travelled in March, the price would be around C$356 . If you want to check a few days before or after your travel dates, select our check box in the flexible dates field that says +/- 3 days. To find the cheapest flight in the entire month, select 'whole month' and select' whole year' to find the best possible return flight price across the entire year.

How to find flexible flights that have no cancellation fees?

In a post covid world, it has become necessary to find tickets that you can amend quickly if unexpected events occur. Common issues that may mean you need to change your booking are the travel policies shifting of a country you intend on visiting by requiring you to quarantine on arrival or on your return, which may not be feasible. Or you may become ill, requiring you to change your travel plans. Whatever the case may be, many airlines charge a premium for you to change or amend your booking once made. To get around these exorbitant change fees, it is sometimes wise to look for flexible flights that have no change fees. You can find these 'no change fees' tickets on our site via our first flight search engine results. Select the filter that says 'no change fees', and we will show you the flights via KAYAK with flexible rebooking options for no extra charge. Just check the change fees for a regular booking to see if the price is lower than booking a flexible 'no change fee' flight.

How to use Skyscanner flexible dates?

Skyscanner has one of the world's most comprehensive flexible date flight engines. They offer users the ability to search from entire countries to 'everywhere' - for example, Canada to anywhere in the world. This search shows you the cheapest airports to fly to from your departing country. Moreover, Skyscanner lets you select on their calendar which month you would like to travel in (for a monthly overview) or select the 'cheapest month', which will tell you the cheapest month to fly in the whole year. They have flexible calendars for both one way and return flights. The downside to the Skyscanner flexible dates calendar is that it only shows flights found by users in the last four days, which sometimes mean the results can be outdated. Moreover, less travelled routes contain fewer historical prices and sometimes none. We use Skyscanner data to populate our calendars; the only difference is that we let you compare numerous flight comparison site results alongside Skyscanner results which often lead to savings, sometimes up to 20%.

How to use KAYAK flexible dates?

KAYAK has a handy 'explore' feature which shows you the best flexible flight deals plotted on an interactive global map. All you need is to enter your departure airport, and the map will show you the best domestic and international flight deals found by other KAYAK users in the last 48 hours. You can also refine your results by searching for a particular country, a specific month, direct flights or flights with stops, budget, duration and type of trip. Once again, because it relies on other users' historical usage, you may find that less searched for routes have little data about them. You can play around with their flexible calendar here: KAYAK/explore . Once you have found a deal on KAYAK, we encourage you to use our site to price check against multiple other aggregators on our website as, on occasion, they can beat the prices found on KAYAK.

How to use Google flights flexible dates?

Google flights have the fastest search engine on the planet, results load in seconds, and they have very comprehensive calendars which show you the cheapest days to travel in the entire month. You can see their flexible flight price calendars by selecting the 'date grid' or the 'price graph' buttons. The date grid presents data in a calendar view whilst the price graph shows you flights in bar graph form. The ITA matrix provides the data and is not dependent on previous searchers to populate it, making it some of the most comprehensive flexible flight data on the web. However, it is a fact that Google flights don't always get you the best possible deal due to the limited number of OTA's Google searches. To get the best possible benefit from them, we recommend you get the best dates to fly from their flexible calendars, then come to FlightsFinder.com and compare multiple aggregators on those dates and see if you can save even more. You can often save up to 20% more simply by checking numerous flight aggregators via our easy to use dashboard.

How to use Kiwi.com flexible dates?

Kiwi.com is the Czech Republic's biggest metasearch engine famous for finding cheap flights by virtual interlining, stitching together fares from airlines that traditionally do not work together. You can find their flexible flight calendars on their search results page by selecting the 'pricing table' or to view a bar graph of the lowest priced flights instead, pick 'price trends'. Their flexible flight results are very comprehensive, and you can find data on even the most obscure routes. Once again, we suggest finding the best days to fly by using our Flexi calendars then price checking their live results with our multi aggregator tab based flight dashboard to see if you can pinch a bit more off your ticket.

How to find the cheapest flexible flight 3 days before or after your flight

Sometimes you can find cheaper flights if you look a few days on either side of your travel dates if your schedule permits. Please enter your departure and arrival airports, then select your preferred dates of flying; after that, choose our flexible dates tab and check the box which says +/- 3 days. We will then take you to our flexible dates calendar to quickly look at prices on surrounding dates. Please note that the display prices were found in the last 15 days and may no longer be available - the only way to check live availability is to select a date and click 'show flights' - then compare multiple live prices.

How to find the cheapest flexible flight in the entire month

Our flight finder also allows you to find the cheapest return flight in any particular month. For example, say you wanted to see the most inexpensive return flight from Toronto to Las Vegas or Vancouver to New York in June. First, enter your departure airport to one of those arrival cities. After that, select some dates in June in our calendar; select the flexible dates tab, and check the box that says 'whole month'. We will then show you the cheapest combination of departure and arrival dates for your search on our calendar in that particular month. Our results are colour coded so that the lowest price will be in blue, whilst lower prices will be in green while the more expensive days will be in red. Once again, prices are rough guides only found by other users in the last 15 days.

How to find the cheapest flexible flight in the entire year?

If you are highly flexible with your travel dates, you may want to know the cheapest flights possible in the entire year between two city destinations. For example - what's the cheapest flight from Toronto to Las Vegas in the whole year?. Our flight finder allows you to do this in seconds. First of all, enter your departure and arrival cities, then select our flexible dates tab, after that check the box which say 'whole year.' We will then pinpoint the cheapest date combinations to fly in seconds on our calendar in the entire year. This option is also particularly useful in uncovering potential error fares and is the quickest way to find unbelievable flight deals.

How to find the cheapest flexible flights to anywhere?

If you don't have a fixed destination in mind and are looking for inspiration on where to fly next, we recommend using our 'flexible - search everywhere' option. First, enter your departure airport, select 'search everywhere', then enter the dates you are looking to travel or look for the cheapest flights in the entire month or the entire year by checking the relevant box. Once you click search, we will list the most affordable destinations fitting your search parameters leaving from your chosen departure airport. You can also refine flights to see direct options by selecting the 'direct only' check box on our destinations list.

How to find the cheapest flight to a particular country?

To find the cheapest flight to a particular country, we recommend using the search everywhere option in our search engine. You can then select the country you are interested in visiting in the destinations list, and we will show you the cheapest cities in that country to fly to. Another alternate way of seeing the best deals to any country is by using our recent deals carousel engine. You can find this below our main search engine form. To use the recent deals engine, enter your departure airport and enter the country you are interested in visiting; you can refine flights by month or select 'anytime' to show you the cheapest deals we have ever found.

How to find the cheapest flight to a particular city?

To find the cheapest flights to any city, enter your desired destination in our search engine. After that, you choose to see the best deal in the entire year by selecting the year on our flexible dates checklist; this will give you the lowest prices ever found. Select the 'whole month' for costs in a particular month and +/- 3 days to see a few days on different sides of your chosen travel dates.

A Quick Guide to Booking Cheap Flights

Which day of the week is the best day to buy airline tickets.

For both U.S. domestic and international travel, Sundays can be cheaper for plane ticket purchases.

For domestic flights, Mondays showed the highest average ticket prices and for international, avoid booking on Fridays.

Booking on the right day of the week could save you up to 20% on your flight

How far ahead should I buy airline tickets?

Based on 2019 global flight data, 21 days prior to departure is the sweet spot for booking flights. But this isn’t a hard-and-fast rule.

Keeping an eye on prices is a good idea when trying to find the best deal. Compare fares across different airlines and set up a price alert for your preferred route.

Which are the cheapest days to fly?

Analysis of domestic and international airfare prices showed that flying out on Sundays can be cheaper.

Many traveler’s start their trips on Friday or Saturdays, so your chances of a lower price are better when departing early in the week instead.

Starting your trip on a Sunday could be almost 24% cheaper than air travel on Fridays, so book wisely!

Which is the cheapest month to fly?

The cheapest month to fly can vary depending on where you’re going, so finding the best rates largely comes down to avoiding peak travel times for your destination.

A great insider tip is to travel during shoulder season – a name for the window of time between a destination’s high and low tourist seasons.

These are the best times to score better rates and still enjoy temperate weather.

Peak times that tend to be pricier no matter where you’re headed are June and July, due to the summer break schedule for families, and December, around Christmas and New Year’s.
