2. Use Incognito Mode

Have you ever noticed an increase in the flight price after searching for it multiple times? This is because airlines use cookies to track your searches and raise the prices accordingly. By using incognito mode or clearing your cookies, you can avoid this and save money on your flights. 🕵️‍♀️

3. Book at the Right Time

The timing of your flight booking can have a significant impact on the price. According to a study done by CheapAir, the best time to book a domestic flight is 76 days before departure. For international flights, the best time to book is around 60 days in advance. Also, try to avoid booking during peak travel times such as holidays and weekends. ⏰
