Now that people are getting back in the air, airline ticket prices are going UP. But If you're interested in finding some useful hacks for getting inexpensive flights, you've come to the right place.

#1: Pick The Best Day

The day of the week you look for flights on is crucial! Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday are typically the cheapest days – so make sure to do your research then if you want a good deal.

#2: Keep It Private

Set your internet browser to “incognito” mode, so travel sites can’t check your location, or track that you’ve been looking for a while to raise your rates. Even better? Use a “VPN.

#3: Flexibility 

Unless you have an airline-specific rewards card, try Google Flights or Kayak to search all airlines and find the best possible prices. It's also good to be flexible with your dates – this ensures you get the best deal for your desired destination!

#4: Direct Flight? Round Trip?

Selecting “direct flights only” can increase your price, so instead weigh your options – layovers are annoying, but they can save you a LOT. Sometimes, two one-way tickets will be cheaper.

If you feel safe traveling and are ready to jet, these tips will help you save!
