Tips for finding cheap flights in no time using Free online services

In my years of traveling I have found a lot of ways to get cheap flights in a myriad of ways. I am going to introduce you to a few of them so that you as well will be able to get just that value for money as I have. Now you might say that how can a person tell you to use this one service and be satisfaction guaranteed.. regrettably it does not work like that and the hard reality is that there are a lot of factors at play that influence the value of money you will get. So the question remains how to get the cheap flights with the best ROI for your hard earned dollars?

Thera are mainly 3 easy ways to book cheap flights online:

Online flight aggregators ( basic search and display without possibility to direct booking mostly)

Online traditional booking engines ( that search and display and add a markup of a small amount to the fee of the flight)

Online company website of the respective airline ( these could prove to have cheap airline tickets on them because of discounts and the fact that they get your fees directly thus saving them money and YOU )

Online services that could be of help with this search are cheap tickets aggregators, which collect all of the information about price and availability and amenities in an easy to search and displayable form.

To name a few: Farechase( a yahoo owned company so fairly trustworthy), Kayak( clean interface and easy to use platform - with almost zero advertisement) & Sidestep

My conclusion and preference to get cheap flights:

break off with kayak, Sidestep and faracast
Look on Jest Blue search engine & Southwest
See a few of the traditional ones such as: Orbitz and Expedia
