Flights

If you are looking for the cheapest possible round trip to a particular destination on a fixed date, it would be wise to check multiple websites because different websites have different prices. Luckily FlightsFinder has made this task easy by providing you with a convenient dashboard that allows you to compare all the best search engines side by side. We search KAYAK, Skyscanner, Jetradar, momondo, Cheapflights, Kiwi, and more, effectively searching over 1200 different sources for flights to make sure you get the very best deal. To prove this, you can do a simple test, go to your favourite website, fetch the lowest price then compare it with our search engine tabs. We are highly confident we will beat or equal the price you can find anywhere else.

The number one factor which affects your flight price is the dates you choose to fly on. The more flexible you are with your flight dates, the cheaper your flight can be. Thankfully, our Flight Finder has a powerful, flexible dates flight tool. This tool allows you to see the cheapest return flight 3 days before or after your chosen dates, the entire month, or even the entire year. For example, if you wanted to fly to Melbourne from Manila in February, It could set you back by about ₱30,000. However, if you used our flexible search, it will tell you that if you travel in November, the price would be around ₱21,999. The best way to find a flight that suits you is to play around with the flexible calendar function and see what comes up.

A metasearch engine is a site that aggregates data from multiple other websites for comparison. So for example – KAYAK.com is a flight meta-search engine that searches hundreds of different airlines and travel agents to find which one has the cheapest deal. Various other metasearch engines exist, such as Skyscanner, momondo, Kiwi.com, and more. We found that no single search engine finds the best deal every time without fail. Sometimes Skyscanner might find the best value, while other times, KAYAK will come out on top. This price difference is because each site has different partnerships and relies on various data sources. The best way to combat this problem is to search multiple aggregator sites/ metasearch engines we have developed here at FlightsFinder.com. Our mighty search allows you to compare Skyscanner, KAYAK, momondo, Kiwi, and more side by side in seconds. We call this process of searching – Meta-Meta Flight Search®.

After you fill out our search form with your travel requirements and dates, hit search, and we will transfer you to our flight results dashboard. In this dashboard, you should find filters on the left-hand side of each search engine so you can see all the airlines flying your particular route. The cheapest airline is displayed by default but not necessarily the most convenient; use the filters to choose the airline you desire with direct flights or flights with stops. Keeping up to date with your favourite airline on social media and via email is also helpful, so the latest cheap deals from your favourite airline don’t get past you.

The first thing to note is that FlightsFinder has no control over the flight prices on display. We aggregate the best third-party flight search engines on one platform. It is similar to Google in that sense; we display information found by others. However, the flights that our metasearch engine partners provide are usually very accurate. There may be the odd occasion where a flight is no longer available on click-through – or a flight that was listed has now gone up in price. We recommend that if such a thing was to occur, click another search engine tab on our dashboard and look for an alternate flight.

In our opinion, the best sites to find cheap flights are the aggregator sites. You could go to a Travel agent like Travelocity or Expedia, but you don’t get as many options as you do on a flight aggregator. For example, a simple search on Expedia for a round trip flight from Manila to Dubai for a week in June returned the lowest price of ₱33,500. The exact search done on FlightsFinder found a cheaper flight via KAYAK for ₱23,500. The simple answer is no search engine is best for finding cheap flights every time – your best bet is to search a few of the best flight search engines via our convenient flight finder dashboard.
