I am traveling from Türkiye to the UK in the last week of September. In the past 2 days the ticket price increased almost 200$ !! Any chance it will go back to a more normal price?
I know flights get pricier as the date approaches but I didn’t know it could be this dramatic
Hi everyone,
I have an upcoming flight from YYZ to CDG to DLA, on November 21st. I was going through my booking and saw i could upgrade my cabin from Eco to PE for Just 273CAD. I told myself i was going to do this on a later date, but when i checked afterwards, the price had increased to 966CAD to upgrade, just in the span of 2days. But the PE seats still look empty on the seat maps. Has anyone experienced this before? Are there any possibilities for the price to go down again? or i will have to wait until check-in opens?
Thanks.

Hi I’m trying to plan a trip from Miami to Sicily (preferably Catania airport) and I can’t seem to find any reasonably priced flights in $ or points. Look to travel around oct 1-13 2026 with some flexibility.
I have the most Amex points (platinum) also chase, BILT and capital one points. I also hold a citi AA card and Wells Fargo but not many points there. At this point I’m willing to open a new card to get a decent flight ideally not in economy. I’ve been looking for months with not much luck. Any tips and advice is greatly appreciated! TIA
Not a lot, but a bit (1-4%), but it typically works regardless of incognito, VPN, third party vs airline ....
Whenever you can, book in the departing country's currency.
(Assuming you have a credit card that doesn't rinse you on foreign transaction fees, and note that some websites do have preferential pricing for USD or EUR).
people always say clear your cookies or use incognito mode but i swear the prices stay exactly the same does this hack actually work for anyone.
i always panic and book like three months early but my friends wait until the last week and somehow get cheaper tickets how does that even work.
hello there everyone
so long story short, i’m new to flying so i have no idea how to search for the best flights available. i’m trying to find a flight that either departs from boston or providence and arrives in columbus for october 15th and returning back home on the 18th.
will take any hacks or advice you have. again im a new flyer this is a whole new world to me. thank you!
Why so?
I've been looking for flight from Vegas to Chicago to New York and the prices have increased by 50% in a matter of 3 days. It's a huge increase, is there a possibility to become cheaper? The flights were in the second half of October
For example, on 26th October, flight prices from Chicago to New York were 80$ for all Delta, Alaska, American Airlines, etc, comoanies and today is 123$ for every company. What's going on?
Hey guys this may seem silly but just want to be cautious. I’m using the Skyscanner app and the link to the emirates website, not third party (with same baggage allowance and fees) shows £500 for my ticket. Whereas the same flight and allowance directly on the emirates website is £600.
Is this standard, is going through the Skyscanner link okay? Thanks guys!
Cancelled Ticket , By mistake.1.5 lakhs….
Hello me and My friends booked 6 tickets for Sri Lanka through Make my Trip and writhin 1 minute of booking we were checking the cancellation charges and during that one misclick and without any warning the tickets got cancelled with 0 refund.
We raised this immediately as it takes time to v cancel the booking and was a misclick. But they took their own time and said we have raised this but after half an hour came back we can’t do anytg about this.
We are 21 year olds and 1.5 lakh is a very big amount for us as these were round trip tickets.
Can someone please help out in this situation,
We tried checking with srilankan airlines too they also said they haven’t responded this
We want to go to the consumer court / or any other option. We just need atleast the tickets to be rebooked as where is the money even gone.
We don’t need any refund or anytg just atleast our tickets back as a lost option
Please CAN SOMEONE HELp , we feel helpless
Hello I am looking for a cheap flight on these dates, everywhere I look it’s around 400+, i found one for 226 but it seems super sketch. Is there any sites I should check?
Thankyou
Hello, fellow travel nerds. If checking flight schedules and routes is enjoyable, like it is for me, then you are in the right place.
I'm in the Midwest, though unfortunately not all that close to Chicago, looking for an overseas flight to a small airport in the Balkans. Direct flights are obviously not happening, so at this point, it's about finding the best case scenario for layovers.
Outgoing flight would be ideally 10/8 in the late afternoon/early evening. Open to 10/9 in the morning, depending on the layover options. Return would be 10/17; Open to 10/16 if I absolutely HAD to. Open to 10/18, if I could get home early enough. That said, right now I am only looking at Outgoing Flights, as I would like to hit one or two cities on the way back, so I am not entirely sure where I will be flying FROM just yet.
Outgoing airport would ideally be IND. Open to some others. Destination is CFU (Corfu, Greece)
Here are some of the options I have come up with:
OPTION 1: Cincinnati to Paris CDG- Delta- $589. 10/8 DL98
Segment 1: Cincinnati to Paris- Delta
Segment 2: ??, TBD
I definitely like the direct flight overseas. Other than the price, the negatives: CDG doesn't really have a direct flight to CFU, nor many other good 1 stop flights either. The best flights are out of ORY. So, I would either have to take a long flight, out of the way, or travel from CDG to ORY....which sort of defeats the convenience of a direct flight. Also, CVG is sort of on the very edge of the distance I would prefer to drive. If it was a perfect flight, and the destination was Paris, it would be worth it. But, with additional work on the back end, I just don't know it's worth the drive.
OPTION 2: Indianapolis to Corfu- various airlines, self transfer- $272+points (or $183 cash) 10/8 WN1540, BF743 10/10 TO3544
Segment 1: Indianapolis to Ft. Lauderdale- Southwest
Segment 2: Miami to Paris ORY- French Bee
Segment 3: ORY to Corfu- Transavia
I'd have to transfer to MIA, either via Uber or train. The good deal is it flies into ORY, where I could catch a direct flight to Corfu...but unfortunately not till the next day....but how could I possibly complain about spending the evening in Paris? Here's the catches with this one: I would only be able to arrive at the first flight 45 minutes...MAYBE an hour before the flight. Which likely means parking in the garage for $$$$. But, it also leaves no room for error. And....if the IND-FLL gets delayed...I will be cutting it really close at MIA, an airport I am not all that familiar with. Also, it's obviously not the most efficient way to get over there. But, for a total of $272+points....it's a hard deal to beat. Info for these flights:
This brings us to the more basic, straight-forward routes.
OPTION3: Indianapolis to Tirana- Air Canada, Wizz Airlines- $475- 10/8 AC8896, AC880, 10/9 AC6014, W45044
Segment 1 : Indianapolis to Toronto- Air Canada
Segment 2: Toronto to Zurich- Air Canada
Segment 3: Zurich to Bari, Italy- Air Canada
Segment 4: Bari to Tirana- Wizz Air
This route, I would be on the same ticket, all the way from Indy to Bari, Italy. Both layovers, I would consider pretty decent, not too long, not too short. The Zurich layover is 6.5 hours, which does give me some time to explore a little bit, and add a city to my list. Unfortunately, no direct flights to Corfu, but there ARE direct flights to Tirana, which....is fine, as I was planning to work my way up there anyway. Might just have to switch some things around. The flight from Bari to Tirana is incredibly, like $11. And, I think it would be pretty cool to fly in/out of an airport named for Pope John Paul II, which I didn't even know existed and now I wanna go to it. Ha.
OPTION 4: Indianapolis to Corfu- Lufthansa- $547 10/8 LH6735, LH6779, 10/9 LH4426
Segment 1: Indianapolis to Toronto- Lufthansa
Segment 2: Toronto to Frankfurt, Germany- Lufthansa
Segment 3: Frankfurt to Corfu- Lufthansa
The thing that feels really good about this ticket is I am on the same ticket all the way to Corfu. Which means if anything goes wrong with any of the legs, I should be taken care of. This flight also stops in Toronto. Then, on over to Frankfurt, Germany. From Germany, direct to Corfu, getting in around 6 pm, local. Layovers aren't super ideal, about 3.5 hours each which aren't really long enough to go explore anywhere, but are longer than I would prefer to sit around the airport.
If anyone has any other options or thoughts......I am happy to hear.
Or let me know your thoughts of the options I have come up with.
What are your best tips for booking flights at a lower price? I already have multiple credit cards, so I can easily take advantage of bank/card offers.
But apart from those, are there any tricks that actually work—like which day or time to book, how far in advance, incognito/VPN, different booking sites, price alerts, etc.?
Would love to hear your tried-and-tested methods! ✈️
The reason we all use OTA is because they are cheaper, however, over time the math is not worth it. Once you book via an OTA, you cannot fully manage your ticket with the airline and won’t get possibilities to change your ticket to another flight in case of cancellation or for some even to select your seats (for those with status) - it varies which airline and which OTA. You only need to get screwed one time with the OTA and all of your savings from OTAs are gone. You can still use OTA for hotels but please avoid them - many complaints I see daily here from fellow travelers.
How far in advance have you bought your tickets? Are the plane tickets really running out as early as 6+ months before the flight?
I am looking to book next year in may (14th to 31st) and I checked KoreanAir app and most of the flights says they are already sold out or for the direct flight there is only 1 seat left. I think this is a marketing tactic to make you panic and buy the ticket now but I am also wondering if maybe I am too relaxed about planning my trip?
The earliest I wanted to book the tickets is december but now I'm really wondering if I should do it sooner?😅
Also what would you recommend: booking through Korean Air or booking through SkyScanner or other airlines? I'm aiming for a direct flight or a layover that has a night flight as I am traveling with a toddler.
Can I get an advice?
I am from Georgia, not state but little country between Asia and Europe. I just ended 10th grade, and in our country pupils are getting awarded by laptops. I have plenty of them so I want ro sell it for 300-400$. I was thinking how to spend that money-maybe buy car in one year (at age of 17), ot maybe motorcycle. But then I remembered that I shouldn't think about only myself. My parents always helped me at every second, they bought me and my brother everything we wanted and I love them very much. I was thinking about it and made choice-in 8 months, I want to buy two tickets to Spain or Istanbul for my parents. I will save that money from selling laptop and add money from my birthday. I am planning to spend around 600€ for tickets. Here are my questions:
I am minor, will i be able to spend that amount of money?
With 600€, which option will be better? (I think with 600€ they get just few days in Spain And maybe week in Istanbul will be better option, idk)
On which website should I book tickets? (Or should I go to some travel agencies?)
Last question, is this even possible? I mean, 600€ for two tickets (two ways, return too), direct flight?
I want to do it very much but I am afraid of making mistakes, cuz i'm inexperienced.
Also I asked my friend for his opinion. He was happy for me and my choice but he said: "man, 600€ is not big amount. If I was you, I would just gift my mom some jewelry, work on next summer vacation, and with around 1200€, I wont have problems with money and I will provide them with memories that'll last forever"
I am thinking about that too. Will 600€ be enough or should I listen to my friend?
I need tip for finding cheap flights. I read in a book that buying flights just before they take off can epbe really cheap, but I don't know how to do so or where to find these flights. She is being sent back to Peru and need a direct ticket to Canada or with layover anywhere where a Philippine passport is accepted. If anyone can share tips for getting them for cheap, please let me know. Thank you.
Hi all.
I hope this sort of post is allowed, but this weekend I built a new website to help people find cheap flights around Europe.
Basically I was frustrated with the way all other travel sites force you to pick a start and destination airport, when many people are quite happy travelling to and from a fairly wide range of airports (within reason).
So I built a site called Fuzzy Fly which lets you choose your start and end point, but then lets you decide how large to make the radius of airports you’re prepared to use.
The site then works out all the possible combinations between locations and find the cheapest flights.
It’s just a fun project - I don’t make any money from the site, and it has no adverts, but hopefully people find it useful.
I’d be grateful for any feedback!
