  • Best airline price from LAX?
    Google.com/flights is your friend to search for departure airports / dates. Source: 11 months ago
  • Cheapest flight possible
    Don't just look for round trip tickets. You can look for one way each, and sometimes that helps drive down the cost. Also, use like google.com/flights. That usually gives some cheap options as well. Keep in mind that when you fly airlines like Allegiant, Frontier and the like, you will have to pay for bags (including carry ons) and that can drive the prices up to what you would have paid on an American/Delta. ...

  • High prices LAX to Cabo San Lucas
    I'm not sure, I didn't see anything via google.com/flights or skyscanner that came close to the AA and SW pricing :(. Source: about 1 year ago
  • flights from china to thailand/bangkok
    OP, a better choice might be to search through google.com/flights, and keep in mind that if you want to make a booking or to check prices, right now it's best to ONLY do so directly with the AIRLINE, not through a travel agent. Booking directly with the airline will almost guaranteed give you the best cancellation/change/refund options. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Are Hopper app flight predictions generally accurate?
    Word of warning, if you are using google.com/flights, do not use it frequently to search the same flights, it will change the flight prices as you search more and more so then you are inclined to jump on it before it 'goes' up. The way around it is to clear the cookies. (This is what I was told by others using the same thing). Source: over 1 year ago
  • Cheap Flights
    Google.com/flights there is also a alert for prices. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Delta server down?
    No issues for me. Have all your attempts been on the same wifi network? Could be a network issue blocking it. Maybe try from your cell phone with WiFi turned off? Or try booking from an indirect like google.com/flights or AAA. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Nonstop flights to/from San Diego
    I used the Google Flight search (google.com/flights) to find the San Diego flights. Put in one-way, from/to and a dummy date to get to the flight listing, then change stops to non-stop (and airilne to Southwest, if desired). You can then either advance the date until you find flights or use the Price Graph to quickly find flights (Southwest flights never have a price, but it should say either "There are no...

  • How To Get The COVID Vaccine If You're An American Living Abroad
    Find the cheapest flight back to the US (I recommend Google Flights https://google.com/flights). Source: about 2 years ago
  • Hawaii
    Keep an eye out on google.com/flights..... You can check a calendar and it will show to the lowest prices for each day. Google covers a lot of airlines but not all of them. Source: over 2 years ago

13 Best Skyscanner Alternatives to Book Travel
The Google search bar makes it easy to search for flights and compare prices on different dates and airports near your location. Although Google Flights is a great Skyscanner alternative, it is limited to flights only and does not offer other services such as hotels and travel packages.
17 Best Skyscanner Alternatives Sites
It almost feels like cheating, but Google has access to pretty much all the best flight deals from all the best travel sites. That means you can save time and money in one fell swoop when you type your desired flight parameters into the search bar or hit up Google Flights directly. Let’s be honest, it’s probably what you were going to do in the first place.
The 9 Best Skyscanner Alternatives To Book Cheap Travel
Skyscanner is probably my second favorite place to find deals. They will have the deals being shown with the airlines, but Skyscanner will show the deals from the OTAs. To get a great idea of where to find the best flights, going to Google flights can light up your world.
Third Party Airfare Booking Sites: The Power Rankings - who to trust, who to avoid
Some of my favorite sites you may have seen me bring up time and time again over the years, such as Google Flights or Kayak are not third party booking sites. They are what are known as meta-search sites, which means they search multiple third party booking sites, and then send you to one of them, and that third party site is in control of your booking.
