Finding cheap flights consistently comes down to strategy. Use the ZippyTripz flight search to compare 500+ airlines, and combine it with these proven tactics.

1. Set Price Alerts

Set a price alert and act the moment fares drop. Google Flights, Aviasales, and Hopper all offer free alerts. When you get the email, book within a few hours — cheap fares rarely last long.

2. Fly Tuesday or Wednesday

Midweek flights are 15-25% cheaper than Friday or Sunday. Airlines release sales Monday night and competitors match by Tuesday morning.

3. Check Nearby Airports

Flying from a secondary airport 60-90 minutes away often saves $100-300+. Always compare all airports near your home city.

4. Use Incognito Mode

Always search flights in a private browser window. Some sites track your searches and nudge prices higher on repeat visits.

5. Book at the Right Time

Domestic US: 1-3 months ahead. International: 3-6 months ahead. Last-minute deals exist but are unreliable on popular routes.
