Cheap flights aren't luck — they're a habit.
1. Be flexible by ±3 days
Most search engines let you toggle this. It can cut 20-40% off the fare.
2. Tuesday & Wednesday departures
On average the cheapest, especially for short-haul.
3. Book 6-8 weeks ahead for short-haul, 3-4 months for long-haul
Last-minute deals are mostly a myth on busy routes.
4. Check nearby airports
A 30-minute train can save you €100.
5. Set price alerts
Let the deal come to you.
