Best Cheap Flights Websites NOBODY is Talking About | How to Find Cheap Flights 2023

today i'm going to show you four of the

best cheap flights websites that nobody

seems to be talking about it's not that

popular tools like google flights

skyscanner and momondo are bad by any

means they're actually some of the best

websites to find cheap flights it's just

that today i want to show you how to

find cheap flights using a few clever

specialty tools for anyone who wants to

take their travel hacking game to the

next level if you've already heard all

four of these consider yourself a cheap

flight finding expert alright chief

airfare here we come

[Music]

first up on our list is skip lagged and

skip lagged shines in its ability to

help you find hidden city flights hidden

city flights are when you can save money

by getting off at your layover instead

of your final destination for example

let's say you wanted to fly from new

york to orlando and for some reason the

tickets were super expensive

so you could use skip lag to look for

one of these hidden city flights and you

might find that say a flight from new

york to dallas is actually cheaper and

it has a layover in orlando and you can

just get off on your layover instead of

taking your final flight to dallas i

have no idea why some of these flights

are cheaper when they actually have more

stops and travel more distance but

sometimes they are on skip lagged you

can see which flights are hidden city

flights because the last flight in the

itinerary will be crossed out this works

best where the place you want to go is a

popular airport hub where there's lots

of connections and it doesn't work on

all routes if you do decide to do this

just be careful not to check any bags

even at the gate because your bags are

going to continue to your final

destination even if you get off early

also airlines don't necessarily love it

when you do hidden city flights so it's

probably not a good idea to do the same

route over and over with the same

airlines that said if you follow all the

tips on the skiplag faq page this can be

a pretty sneaky travel hack speaking of

travel hacks i made a free download

revealing 15 tricks that professional

travelers use to pay about a third of

the price as everybody else so if you're

interested in saving money grab that

down below the next tool up on the list

is called ita matrix and we made a whole

video about how to find the cheapest

flights on google flights that was super

popular and in that video many

commenters said that they actually

prefer using it matrix over google

flights by the way if you haven't

already seen that video there's some

really good tips in there so i'll link

that down below as well anywho ita

matrix is basically the technology that

powers google flights and many other

search engines it's similar to google

flights but it gives you some extra

advanced features for travel hackers

like you and me to nerd out on that said

it kind of comes down to personal

preference and so you'll have to test it

out to see which you prefer some people

swear by it saying that it's more

accurate and better at finding the

cheapest prices possible and a lot of

people use it for open jaw flights where

your origin and your destination aren't

exactly the same both ways it's also a

powerful tool in finding long stopovers

which can add an extra destination to

your trip for free or really cheap for

some of these search features you need

to know how to harness all the search

power that ita matrix gives you and

maybe i'll make another video about that

in the future

but in most cases it's going to take a

little bit to get the hang of it the

last two i'm going to show you guys

makes finding these long stopovers dead

simple and is a lot more user friendly

now one thing to know about ita matrix

is that unlike google flights you can't

book your flight directly with ita

matrix you have to do one extra step you

can either book directly with the

airline or you can copy the flight

itinerary that they give you on ita

matrix and paste that into a website

called bookwithmatrix.com

next up on the list is scott's cheap

flights which is a newsletter that sends

out epic deals that are personalized to

your airport you set the departing

airports that you're interested in and

whenever they find these awesome cheap

deals they send them directly to your

inbox and they only send the best deals

usually forty to ninety percent off

these usually aren't last minute deals

either so you'll have plenty of time to

plan your trip after you buy a ticket

they also tend to shy away from more

basic uncomfortable airlines so when you

see their deals you know they're for

actual quality flights speaking of which

if you're thinking about flying with

spirit airlines don't book your ticket

without first watching our video on tips

for flying with spear airlines which

includes our nightmare experience scotch

jeep flights has both free and paid

plans but i just recommend signing up

for the free plan to start the free plan

will send you all the deals for

international flights if you fly

domestically a lot you might want to

sign up for their premium plan which

just costs a few bucks per month premium

members save an average of 550 dollars

per ticket so even if they just help you

find one flight the savings you'd get

would basically pay for your membership

for over a decade i can personally

attest to this because the newsletter

once helped me and my wife save a

thousand dollars on two tickets from la

to asia now it's important to note that

they currently only focus on flights

that are leaving from the united states

and so if you're based outside of the

united states it really doesn't make

sense at this time before we move into

the last one i just want to mention that

all four of these tools can help you

find super cheap flights but there are

other travel hacks that allow you to fly

practically for free i'm gonna make a

video on exactly how i traveled all the

way from detroit to spain for just five

dollars so subscribe and hit the bell if

you want to be notified when that video

drops alrighty last up on the list is a

site called airwander airwander helps

you find long stopovers which

essentially lets you add another

destination to your itinerary on the

cheap stopovers are long layovers where

you have time to leave the airport and

do exploring before taking your

connecting flight sometimes these

stopovers can last for days and so you

have plenty of time to see a bunch of

awesome stuff here's how it works with

airwander first you search for your

origin and your destination like you

normally would then all you have to do

is hit this little plus button when you

do this it will search for flight

itineraries that have long layovers and

it will tell you exactly how much extra

it would cost to add a pit stop into

your itinerary you can even set the

length of the layover that you're

looking for so if you want to explore

for let's say three days before moving

on to your final destination it will

tell you exactly how much extra it would

cost to do that in some cases it's just

a few dollars extra to add a whole

another destination to your trip

cha-ching once you finally find your

cheap flight this next video will show

you some sneaky personal item packing

hacks that will save you loads of money

on checked bags check it out bye bye
