While they offer some great tips on how to find cheap flights, as folks who do a fair amount of flying, in our humble opinion, cheapest price isn't everything.
Other things to consider besides price: comfort, convenience, ease, safety, reliability, reputation, etc. (all these things have value that you may be willing to pay a little more for)
All that being said, enjoy this video and article from Kyle Potter at Thrifty Traveler:
By Kyle Potter: There are plenty of search engines out there to find a cheap flight. Maybe you've got a favorite airfare tool like Skyscanner, Hopper, or an online travel agency like Priceline or Expedia. But one option is better than all the rest: Google Flights. Yes, that's right, the search engine behemoth Google is also king when it comes to finding cheap flights. It's incredibly powerful, with tons of features that will help you zero in on the best prices for your flights … and maybe even get a refund if prices drop after you book thanks to its new Price Guarantee feature. It's got a bevy of filters you can use to find the best flights you really want – and avoid the ones you don't. Plus, you can use this tool to search almost all carriers and book directly with an airline rather than through a third-party site – something that's become even more important since the pandemic.click here to continue reading
