Although flying is getting cheaper, you can often save a little extra on your ticket. With these four apps you always score cheap airline tickets.
This way you always score cheap airline tickets
The price of an airline ticket for the same flight can vary enormously. One says that booking last minute is cheaper, the other says that seven months in advance is more sensible. In order to know what really is the right time to get the cheapest ticket, it is best to leave it to ticket comparators. We have listed the four best apps to always find cheap airline tickets.
1. Hopper
Hopper predicts the best time for you to book the flight ticket you are looking for. When you enter a destination, you can see in a clear calendar with colors which days are the cheapest to fly. When you have selected your preferred travel dates, Hopper will be on the lookout for you.
If the current price is the best deal, the app will tell you to book now. If it is even cheaper, according to Hopper, you will automatically receive a notification when prices fall. The app also shows how much more or less it costs to choose the flight directly or with a stopover. In addition, you see a prediction of when the price will fall or rise, so for which date you should or should not book.
Have you found the perfect booking moment for your flight? Because you can enter your payment details in your profile in the app, paying in this way is a matter of pressing a few buttons.
2. Momondo
Momondo does not only search large and budget airlines, but also travel agencies to offer a comparison of flights. When searching for tickets you will see all flights with the price and times in the price overview. Here you can filter extensively on flight times, the fastest flight, airline or whether you are open to flying at nearby airports.
You can also set a price alert in the Momondo app and see the price development over the last 90 days. In the price calendar you can also see what the expected price per day is. Handy when you want to book quickly and cannot wait for a price alert.
You can easily add a price alert on a trip to your profile by pressing the heart. In order to be able to book faster, you can already fill in all the necessary traveler information in the app.
3. Skyscanner
If you want to get away from it all but have no idea where to go, Skyscanner is a great option. Get inspired for destinations by using the ‘Everywhere’ search function. Skyscanner will show you the cheapest airline tickets to destinations all over the world.
To make it possible for every budget, you set a maximum price for the airline tickets yourself. Via the ‘Top deals’ function you will find the best deals from the nearest airport. During the search, you can also set flexible dates whenever you want. That way you discover the best when you can go on holiday for the least money.
Once you’ve found the perfect trip, you can easily book it or set a price alert. By creating a profile you can sync all your searches and price alerts with all your other devices, so you can always continue planning your trip.
4. KAYAK
KAYAK is very similar to Skyscanner, but is also a useful assistant during and after booking. The app keeps users up-to-date on their journey by providing notifications about flight status, gate changes and baggage claim.
In addition, the app offers navigation at the airport and an estimate of waiting times at customs. Timers keep track of the progress of your flight and remaining transfer time. When traveling with a group, you can easily share search results, flight information and more with each other.
Also in KAYAK you set a price alarm for your desired trip and search for affordable destinations worldwide via the Explore function. KAYAK is also ideal if you own an Apple Watch, as it supports the KAYA on the go feature. You can see your travel plans on your wrist and you will receive alerts on your watch when the status of your flight changes.
