As much as we wish we could travel without limits, it usually comes at a high price. But what if you didn’t have to scour the web for hours to book the cheapest flights?
Enter these five handy websites and apps — they do the math and plan a trip to fit your budget, dates, location, and more so you don’t have to pay top dollar ever again. Who knows? You might even score a cheap hotel room in the process.
Fareness
This website is one of our more recent obsessions. They help you find and book a flight on the lowest priced travel dates and destinations. This is a great resource for anyone with more flexible flying dates or no specific destination in mind. Just enter your departure city and get to searching!
Hopper
Stay updated on flight prices wherever you are with this amazing app. Put in your trip and Hopper will tell you the best time to buy, even giving you dates when prices are guaranteed to rise. You’ll get push notifications along the way so you never miss an amazing opportunity to travel to your dream destination.
WhereFor
Use this site if you need to stay within a certain budget, but are open to different types of trips. You’ll find options ranging from Asia to stateside and everywhere in between. Here’s another perk: WhereFor takes the cost of hotel into consideration when searching within your budget. They give you the cheapest flight and highest-rated hotel each time, while also letting you choose your own.
Airware Watch Dog
Travel for cheap when you use this fan favorite website. Each day, they update the top fares from your departure city that are actually good deals. This means flights that have suddenly gone down are lower than their historical average and are often unadvertised or short-lived.
Kayak
This website is a one-stop shop for flights, hotels, cars, and even cruises. Use the explore option to find your next trip — simply enter your departure city, budget, and ideal dates, and Kayak will do the rest. Not only that, they’ll even let you know if you should wait to buy a flight and offer a system to alert you of price changes.
