Where to find the cheapest flight? There is no one site offering the cheapest flights. The price of a flight can change like the weather. A nice sunny cheap flight one day and a terrible price if you wait too long. I’m trying to get from Detroit, Michigan to Frankfurt, Germany for the winter holidays to see my girlfriend. A few days ago I found a price for $420 round trip. Now that I’ve decided to buy the flight, it has gone up to over $900. I can’t tell you how frustrating this is.
How to get the cheapest flight
1. If you are a student use StudentUniverse.com. They offer special student prices. I managed to get round trip ticket for $490 from Chicago to Frankfurt, Germany when I was a student.
2. Try the major flight search engines. I prefer travel.yahoo.com, kayak.com, and expedia.com. Try different dates and different surrounding airports. Most of the time there might be a better deal at an airport just farther away.
3. Fly during the week. I’ve found that Wednesday is often the cheapest date to fly. Try a day before and after Wednesday.
4. Try low cost airlines. I often look at Air India for cheap flights. Though there is nothing special about this airline, they have very flexible change flight fees.
5. Book early. The longer you wait, the more you probably will have to pay. Changes in the economy, such as the rising price of fuel, will affect flight prices.
There is no one place that offers the cheapest flight everytime. There are so many variables, yet another reason to just drive. Too bad they didn’t build a bridge over the Atlantic…

Good suggestions you make here, but Ugh! Air India?? I found some cheap flights with them from New York to I think London, but then I started to read the reviews. I don’t recall a single good review – how was your experience?
Kayak is good for the US, but if you’re going overseas, Dohop.com is the best. They include results for like 100 cheapo budget airlines all around the world, and they also figure out all the possible connections.

Air India was interesting. Everything was outdating, but the food was great. I love indian food. Don’t expect anything special by flying AirIndia. AirIndia means outdated flight movies (in indian language) and outdated seats… honestly if you don’t have to take AirIndia, don’t take them
