2. Finding cheap flights is the goal of
every budget traveler, and while they
are out there they take a little know-
how to find. Because flights tend to be
the most expensive part of a trip they
can often set the tone for the length
and activities someone is able to do
while traveling.
Use these tips to find cheap flights to
just about any destination in the world.
3. No matter where you are interested in traveling to,
there are times of the year and days of the week that
will always be cheaper. This includes cheaper flights to
a destination that is on your bucket list. Rather than
search for flights by specific dates and hope that the
price falls within your budget, set up flight search alerts
by destination. This way you are notified when tickets
drop and you can snap up a flight for super cheap.
KEEP TRAVEL
DATES
FLEXIBLE
4. In addition to keeping your travel dates flexible, you can
find cheap flights by destination. Keep a few different
travel destinations in mind for an upcoming trip and when
you are able to find tickets to any one of these destinations
purchase them and plan a trip. You never know what
destination will go on sale at a particular time, so keeping
your travel plans open might mean an impromptu trip on a
budget. This is also a great idea for cities that are close
enough together making it possible to fly into one city for
much cheaper than another.
DON’T SETTLE
ON SPECIFIC
DESTINATIONS
5. Many budget ticket sites offer the
opportunity to create cheap
destination alerts or to sign up for
email alerts whenever there is a sale
on flights. These services make it
easy to track prices and mean you
won’t miss a great deal when it
comes up.

6. As airline travel increases so do airline
carriers and destinations. Many of the newer
airlines happen to be budget carriers, flying
into smaller airports for reduced fees, but
still able to get an intrepid traveler from
point A to B. Make sure you read through all
the terms and fees, but flying a budget
carrier can often be the cheapest option.
