How to get cheap flights?

Here are the strategies that have consistently worked for me over years of booking flights: 1. Use Google Flights or Skyscanner to compare prices across airlines. Google Flights has a price tracking feature that emails you when prices drop. 2. Be flexible with your dates. Flying on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday is usually cheaper than Friday or Sunday. The flexible date calendar on Google Flights shows you the cheapest days. 3. Book 1-3 months in advance for domestic flights and 2-8 months for international flights. Last minute deals are rarely cheap anymore. 4. Consider budget airlines like Spirit, Frontier, or Allegiant, but factor in baggage fees when comparing total cost. 5. Use airline miles or credit card points if you have them. Sign-up bonuses on travel credit cards can cover a round trip flight. The incognito mode trick is a myth - airlines do not raise prices based on your search history. Focus on flexibility and timing instead.
