I wonder if it's still true. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-find-the-best-deals-on-flights#post-1458898 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 16:32:21 +0000 sunny 1458898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once you book, register your trip on Yapta to see if there are price drops that are greater than the change fee.</p> <p>Also my #1 tip is to accumulate airline miles and credit card points. We are flying to Japan for the taxes alone which are just $300 for 3 of us (including the 10% infant fare) I've flown for (nearly) free a bunch this way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-find-the-best-deals-on-flights#post-1455908 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 17:41:31 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1455908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've also heard that the more times you search for the same flights on the same IP address the more expensive the flights become and that sometimes searching from a non-apple device can give you a better price. I have no idea if that's true or not, but I'm tempted to believe the multiple searches one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-find-the-best-deals-on-flights#post-1455795 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 17:07:30 +0000 jedeve 1455795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you use a site like Priceline be sure to check it against the airline website itself. I've found it's often the same price but that I won't get the miles if I go through a third party. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-find-the-best-deals-on-flights#post-1455776 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 17:03:17 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1455776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: ah interesting! will be sure to check that out!</p> <p>will wait until next tuesday.... ticket prices are so high! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-find-the-best-deals-on-flights#post-1400290 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 10:45:32 +0000 LindsayInNY 1400290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: Ahh, I gotcha. We have two trips coming up so I'll have to start checking prices on Tuesdays now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-find-the-best-deals-on-flights#post-1400241 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 10:30:24 +0000 septca 1400241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just realized my last post didn't make any sense... you want to SEARCH on Tuesday afternoons. Flying mid-week is usually less expensive than flying on weekends, but that's not what I meant. Airlines post the cheapest flights on Tuesday afternoons, so that is always when I buy tickets.</p> <p>@LindsayInNY: Yes, I have been burned before - I would see a good price Tuesday, and it would be gone that night or the next morning. That said, the prices you see on Wednesday morning are likely to be better than the prices you will see on Friday of that same week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-find-the-best-deals-on-flights#post-1400234 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 10:27:29 +0000 LindsayInNY 1400234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: So searching Wednesday morning wouldn't give the same results? (That sounds dumb, I know, LOL) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-find-the-best-deals-on-flights#post-1400233 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 10:27:20 +0000 regberadaisy 1400233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: I've heard that's when most airlines put sale prices up! And midweek is obviously always the cheapest to fly.</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: also do you follow @jetbluecheeps on Twitter? They often post Twitter only deals on Tuesdays for crazy cheap. They usually fly out of major airports like JFK </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-find-the-best-deals-on-flights#post-1400224 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 10:25:15 +0000 septca 1400224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: and @skipper2010: Yep. There is something about the pricing system that makes Tuesday afternoons the cheapest time to find a flight. Friday and Saturday are the most expensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-find-the-best-deals-on-flights#post-1400210 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 10:22:21 +0000 skipper2010 1400210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard that the lowest prices are on Tuesdays. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-find-the-best-deals-on-flights#post-1400207 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 10:21:22 +0000 LindsayInNY 1400207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I set up alerts on Kayak, sometimes with a price limit. Then just monitor. I check Southwest separately too since they're not on Kayak.</p> <p>@septca: Is Tuesday best?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-find-the-best-deals-on-flights#post-1400199 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 10:18:36 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1400199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always fly southwest because they always seem to have the cheapest flights. I've gotten a lot of free flights with their credit card too.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-find-the-best-deals-on-flights#post-1400194 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 10:16:56 +0000 septca 1400194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kayak, use the multiple dates tool, and search on Tuesday afternoons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-find-the-best-deals-on-flights#post-1400156 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 10:05:30 +0000 regberadaisy 1400156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Travelocity Farewatcher!

Typically we flew Jet Blue because it was the most convenient, but now that we have to buy 4 tickets since Olive is 2, I'm looking for the best prices.</p> <p>How do I find the best deals? What websites do you use? </p>
