Guide to cheap flights

Looking for a cheap flight to Europe? You’ve come to the right place!

The EuropeanHostels.com flights guide makes finding the best flight deals a breeze. Rather than testing your patience with multiple windows and tabs open across a bunch of sites, EuropeanHostels.com simplifies your search by giving you one-click access to the best booking sites on the web.

With our guide to cheap flights, there’s no need to hunt down the best sites and keep typing in your travel information. We only link to the best booking sites and do the searching for you.

Here are a couple helpful tips to get you on your way:


How many booking sites should I check?

To get the best comparison of flight prices and route availability, we recommend clicking on 2 or 3 booking sites after you’ve done a search. This way you’ll get a clearer picture of the overall price range that is available for your travel dates along with flight times and possible connections. However, you can always easily search more if you want to view more results.


How far in advance should I book?
 

In general, you should book as far in advance as you can. Airlines tend to work on a scarcity model, which means that the more seats already booked on the plane, the more expensive the remaining seats will be. Typically, the further in advance of your travel date, the fewer seats will have been purchased and you’ll get a better price. There are always exceptions, though, and sometimes you can nab a cheap flight on two weeks’ notice, just do your research!


How do I research Europe’s budget airlines?
 

Our guide to cheap flights doesn’t cover the low cost carriers in Europe, which can be great options for cheap tickets when flying between European cities. We recommend using EuroCheapo’s budget airlines guide to research these hard to find carriers.
