Search nearby airports
A nearby airport can be cheaper than the obvious one, especially when a city is served by multiple airports or regional alternatives.
Avoid peak travel days
Friday departures and Sunday returns often cost more. Midweek combinations are usually a better place to start.
Look outside the busiest season
Shoulder-season trips can deliver better fares, shorter lines, and more flexible flight options.
Review the full trip cost
The cheapest headline fare is not always the best value after carry-on fees, seat selection, and airport transfer costs.
