Cheap flights: Offers at the best price

If you're planning a getaway, a holiday or that trip you've been dreaming about, then no doubt you've started by looking for plane tickets. Saving on the price of your flights will be a great start and will give you more freedom to organise the rest of your trip. What to know how to get the best flight deals? Here are some tips on finding the cheapest flight. Take note and start planning that trip you have in mind without spending too much money:

• Book in advance. Sure, it can be exciting to improvise, but if you want to get the best price, buy your ticket well in advance. How far in advance should you book your flights to get a real saving? As far in advance as possible, especially if you're thinking about a weekend getaway because weekends are when most people tend to take the opportunity to travel. As the seats on the plane fill up and the cheapest fares sell out, the lowest prices fly. So think ahead: plan, book early and save.

• Be flexible if you can. Flying a day earlier than you planned or returning two days later can get you the best price. You can even find different prices on the same day. So as far as possible, look for those slight date and time variations because you might be very pleasantly surprised. We want to help you find the best deals: when you use our cheap flight finder, we'll show you prices for the date you searched and the surrounding days as well, so you can compare them. It's that simple!

• Select the return ticket. It seems obvious but it's easy to forget, especially if you have some wiggle room regarding the dates of your trip. If you buy the outward and return tickets at the same time, you will usually get lower prices than if you book them separately.

• Avoid peak season. You'll find cheaper tickets if you travel outside the busiest days and months. Although it really depends on the destination, school holidays, Christmas and Easter are usually peak season. And outside those dates? A world to discover. Step outside the box and you'll discover some amazing experiences, as well as the best flight deals.
