Strategies for Finding Cheap Flights

When searching for cheap flights, prioritize the price as the top priority rather than the last priority. Take a Goldilocks window approach, booking domestic flights one to three months in advance and international flights two to eight months in advance. When booking last-minute flights, keep your options open by staying flexible with your destination and airport choices. Be patient and monitor prices well in advance, waiting for the right deal to pop up.
