Websites and apps to find and book the cheapest flight tickets

Not all city trips can be reached by car or train. Often you will have to book one or more flights to reach your desired location. When this is the case, it can be useful to compare prices and find the cheapest period and flights. Below you will find a number of websites and apps to search and compare flights, websites to book airline tickets and a number of websites where you can book your hotel and flight together.

Websites to find & compare flights

 

Brussels Airport

If you, like me, prefer to fly from Brussels Airport, this website is perfect for you. If you already know where you want to fly, you can look up here what the prices would be if you wanted to fly from Brussels Airport and in which period it is cheaper. If you do not know yet where you want to travel to, this website is ideal to get inspiration. You can indicate in which period you want to travel and the maximum amount you want to spend on your flights and then get an overview of which destinations meet these criteria.

 

Google Flights

Useful website if you already know to which destination you want to fly and in which period. But you can easily adjust the location and destination and see other options very quickly. The website also has a lot of filter options, such as the number of stopovers, which airlines you (do not) want to fly with, what your maximum price is, around which time you would like to depart and around which time you would like to fly back and a few other filter options.

 

Skyscanner

Website I use if the destination of my departure flight is different than the location of my return flight (their Multi-city option). You can also choose whether you want to land at the same airport as where you left. But that is not an obligation. On this website you have a few standard filter options as well, such as stopovers and departure times. To book a flight, you can choose to book it on the website of the airline (but then you may have to make 2 separate bookings) or on a website such as eDreams, Opodo, Supersaver, Kiwi.com, Travelfrom.nl and Mytrip BE or Mytrip NL (where you can book both flights together).

You can of course also search and book directly on one of these websites. Sometimes you even get an extra discount on these websites and/or by subscribing to the newsletter of that website. But on Skyscanner you can see more clearly how much your flights would cost individually on each of those websites.

Websites to book your airline tickets

If you are looking for a website where you can book (cheap) airline tickets, chances are you will come across one of these websites:

I personally have no experience with these websites. I usually use the Google Flights website and/or Skyscanner to find the best flights and then book them on the airline's own website. But it never hurts to compare the price of the official website with the price of the above websites.

Websites to book your flight and hotel together

By booking your flight and hotel together, you can sometimes benefit from package deals. You also save time by having everything arranged in one booking and enjoy extra flexibility, such as free changes with some packages. Many providers also offer protection in the event of cancellations or delays, which gives you extra peace of mind.

Examples of websites where you can book your flight and hotel together are:

There are probably many other websites and apps where you can compare flight fares and/or book your flight tickets. If there is one that should certainly not be missing here, you can always pass it on to me.
