How to get a cheap flight to Europe: life hacks for tourists

Do you want to travel around Europe, but ticket prices are biting? OBOZREVATEL has compiled 10 effective tips to help you find the cheapest flights to any country.

• Book your tickets in advance. Summer flights are the cheapest to buy in December. In general, the best prices are about 2 months before the flight.
• This planning has another advantage – you can choose the cheapest date because the vacation has not yet been agreed upon and you can adjust it to your flight. Sometimes on neighboring days, prices differ by several times.

• During the off-season, most low-cost airlines offer very cheap tickets. So in late fall, you can get to Venice, Rome, Barcelona, Paris, Berlin, and a bunch of other cities for $5-15. So if you don't have to travel in the summer, plan your vacation for March or November.

• Buy tickets late at night or early in the morning. At this time, the demand is less than usual. So you'll be able to grab the last bargain ticket.
• Sign up for a cheap airfare calendar. This option is offered by dozens of carriers. With it, you'll always know which destinations are currently offering discounts.
• Choose round-trip flights at once. Many companies offer discounts when you buy return tickets at the same time. However, be careful. Sometimes it is more profitable to buy tickets separately.

• Sometimes you can find cheap tickets for charter flights. They appear 2-3 days before departure and cost several times cheaper. This works with popular tourist destinations.

• Check prices on different websites. Sometimes even expensive companies offer very good deals. Check all the options before booking a flight.
• Choose flights with stopovers. Domestic European flights are much cheaper. This will save you extra money for entertainment.
• Choose flights that fly on weekdays. The demand for such tickets is much lower and the prices, respectively, are also lower.
