Save Money and Travel More: The Best Flight Deal Websites That You Probably Didn't Know

Finding the cheapest flight deals can be exhausting. There are so many options out there and t can be so hard to know where to start. That's why we’re sharing with you some of our favorite flight deal websites that may not be as popular but are incredible at helping you find the best deals without sacrificing too much time.

First up, we have Airfarewatchdog. This website is fantastic for finding low-priced flights and mistake fares. Their team of experts scours the internet for the best deals and updates their website daily sharing with you the cheapest month to travel, weekend deals, and specific airline information. The best part is that they offer a fare alerts feature, which notifies you when prices drop for a specific route. This is perfect if have flexible travel dates and destinations.

Next, we have Going (formerly known as Scott's Cheap Flights) as another great option for finding low-priced flights from your home airport. Their team of experts sends email alerts when they find a great deal. You can choose to receive alerts for flights departing from specific airports or for specific destinations. While their free option provides budget travelers with tons of deals to choose from, Going also offers a premium subscription service that provides access to even more international deals. You can pay $39/year for economy class deals and $199/year for first, business, or premium class deals from an unlimited number of airports. According to their site, travelers save an average of $550 on each international flight deal and $200 on domestic flights. Sounds like a great tradeoff to us, especially for our frequent fliers.

If you're looking for "hidden city" flights, then Skiplagged is the website for you. This flight search engine specializes in finding flights with layovers in your destination city that are cheaper than direct flights to that destination. However, it's important to note that using this method can violate airlines' terms and conditions, so make sure to read the fine print before booking as you can be penalized by the airline and have your loyalty points for frequent flier programs to become compromised, or even totally canceled. And of course, this method only works if you are traveling with only carry-on luggage.

Momondo is a flight search engine that offers the lowest prices on flights, hotels, and car rentals. The site has helpful filters for finding the best deals, such as "lowest price" or "best deal." You can also set up alerts for when prices change on specific routes--say you want to know when your favorite airline drops its rates below $200 round trip from New York City to London--and Momondo will send them straight to your inbox. There are no hidden fees because the site allows you to book directly through it or via sites like Expedia and Orbitz.

Last but not least, we have Kiwi.com. This flight search engine specializes in multi-city itineraries and layover options. Their "Nomad" feature allows you to enter multiple destinations and dates, and the site will find the cheapest itinerary for you, like finding a cheap round-trip flight to your one-way trip to Miami. Kiwi.com also offers a "Virtual Interlining" feature that allows you to combine flights from different airlines to create the cheapest itinerary possible, including the unveiling of hidden cities. The other great thing - the site offers a kiwi.com guarantee that protects you in case of changes or cancellations caused by the carrier. It's available on all trips, whether you travel by flight, bus, or train.

It will take a bit of time to discover which one works best for you. But once you do, the world will be your playground!

Happy travels!
