Sometimes, it’s a spontaneous city break. Other times, it’s a necessity. Whatever it is, we’ve all needed a cheap flight as soon as possible. Here’s how Skyscanner can help you limit the stress of last-minute travel.
📍 Nearby airports
When you select the “Nearby airports” option on the search bar, you’ll see flight results for the origin and departure airport that you picked, as well as other airports close by. This increases your chances of finding the ideal flight!
🛫 One-way flights
Searching for round trips is convenient, but it’s not always the cheapest. Sometimes, it can be cheaper and more effective to run one-way searches for each leg of your trip, giving you more airlines and options to choose from.
🕓 Pull an all-nighter
If you have the time, you could look at red-eye flights. Overnight trips can often be cheaper and quieter because they depart at less popular times. Hey, you can sleep when you get there!
📞 Get in touch
Booking through a travel company or travel agent? Sometimes, it’s worth reaching out to these places directly. There are often last-minute cancellations from other travelers, meaning you can get a ticket at a huge discount if you’re lucky!
🤞 Wait it out…
If you’ve got nerves of steel and can afford to wait until the real last minute, then it might pay off to wait before booking that flight you have your eye on. Prices can sometimes drop at the last second if all the seats haven’t been filled.
