How to Get Cheap Flights for as low as $30

The most frequently asked question I get is, how do you afford to fly so much? And honestly, it's not as expensive as you think. Last summer, I flew to Belgium for only $200, and then I hopped around to 10 Countries in Europe and only spent a total of around $300 on travel. I often times find flights for as low as $30. So how do I do it? I use the Skyscanner search engine. I've linked the search engine I use down below so you don't even have to leave this page to search for it! 

In this blog post, we'll explore how to use SkyScanner to find cheap flights.

First, enter your departure and destination cities and the dates you plan to travel. If your travel dates are flexible, select the "whole month" or "cheapest month" option. This will allow you to see a range of dates with different price points, giving you the flexibility to choose the most affordable option.

Pro Tip: Flying from larger airport hubs for international travel can grant you cheaper flights. For example if you are flying internationally, check flights from airports such as JFK, MIA, ATL, LAX. If you're flying into Europe internationally, check MAD, AMS, CDG. 

Once you've entered your travel information, hit search, and SkyScanner will pull up a list of flights. You can refine your search results by clicking on the various tabs that appear on the top of the page, such as "cheapest," "fastest," or "best."

To get the best deals on flights, consider setting up price alerts. This feature allows SkyScanner to notify you when prices fall or rise for a particular flight route or date. You can set up alerts by clicking on the "price alerts" button on the search results page.

Moreover, SkyScanner sometimes offers "secret deals" on flights where they don't list the airline that's offering the flight. These deals can be significantly cheaper than the published fares, so it's worth checking out, especially if you're flexible with your travel dates.

Another option to get cheaper flights is to book early or late. If you're booking months in advance, you're more likely to find cheaper fares. In contrast, if you book last-minute or closer to the travel date, prices will usually increase.

Lastly, be flexible with your travel dates and destinations. If you're not set on a particular location or date, you can use SkyScanner's "everywhere" feature. This feature shows you the cheapest destinations for your budget, allowing you to be adventurous and explore new places.

In conclusion, finding cheap flights using SkyScanner is easy and hassle-free, provided you follow the tips mentioned above. By using SkyScanner, you can save money on flights and enjoy your travels without breaking the bank.
