The best apps to track flights and travel cheap

Traveling nowadays has become a very normal activity, something facilitated to a great extent in recent years by the appearance of low-cost companies that offer both transport and accommodation in the most economical way possible, making everyone whoever I can travel without investing large amounts of money. This is something that has been noticed significantly, for example, in the price of flights.

Another factor that has also been relevant to a large extent has been the Internet and the various platforms through which we can purchase tickets and plan our trip without any need to leave home. And not only that, but there are also various web pages on the Internet where to be able to find the best price on the desired dates. The latest example of this is found in the popularization of smartphones, with applications dedicated to this function the order of the day. Some apps that, however, are not always useful or provide real value to the user if they are not chosen with caution. We tell you which are the best in this field.

Skyscanner

The application currently reigns as the obligatory consultation during the planning of a trip, not so much because of the results offered when comparing certain dates, which will be similar to those that we can obtain with similar applications, but because of the variety of options you have, some of them very interesting. With a fairly clean design that invites you to browse through it, it offers us two options in the flights section (we can search for hotels or rental cars as well), which we must make use of according to our interests.

Through the first of them we can search for flights for specific dates and to a defined destination, showing the results in the form of a list or a graph, which allows us to get a general idea of ​​the price variation also on the days close to the selected. The second option is perhaps the most interesting, because in it we can only do a search by specifying the place of departure and letting us suggest destinations based on price, popularity, by country ... based on dates that can also be suggested or defined by us. Ideal if we want to travel but do not have any destination in mind.

Momondo

One of the classics in this of looking for cheap flights. Momondo is an extremely easy to use application, without complications or sections in which we can get messed up or get lost. As easy as entering the departure and arrival destinations and dates. The app us will order the available offers based on their price and quality, that normally attend flight hours (be careful here, let's not look at a London destination with a 9-hour layover in Sevastopol).

Probably with this app we will not obtain results that are too different from those that Skyscanner already showed us, but it never hurts to do a second check to heal ourselves.

Kayak

Although Kayak sounds familiar to all of us, surely not all of us have tried the application and the possibilities it offers when looking for flights that, to the surprise of more than one, are many. It should be noted that the searches it does for specific destinations are more comprehensive than in other applications, offering more flights and, therefore, more possibilities. However, the best is, again, on the Explore tab.

Once our departure airport has been selected, it will show us a map in which different destinations and markers with their prices appear, being able to obtain a large amount of information at a quick glance to make an instant screen of which ones interest us the most. In addition, it has a good number of adjustable parameters to narrow the search, some as original as by features of the destinations (skiing, beach, ...) or depending on the average temperature of the places.

Jetradar

This is a very simple app but it can help us for trips and important moments. The search parameters are nothing to write home about and does not have such striking options like the ones we have talked about before, but it is worth keeping in mind if all else fails us. After all, it didn't take long for us to take a quick look at it.

It is not one of the best known, and the reason is none other than that, the general simplicity in the data it shows. Yes, it is true that sometimes simple is the best, but in these cases it is appreciated to have a little more information and, above all, more options to find the flight we need (unless we have everything perfectly defined in advance).

eDreams

Another one that surely sounds familiar to us, but that does not offer much compared to other options that we have already discussed. The searches that allow us are closed and the interface does not help to quickly collate what are the best flights or the ones that offer the best features, something that is to be appreciated when it is most likely that we have already invested a significant amount of time in search of trips and flights.

Something to note is that if it is our first time using the application, they will offer us a discount code for the reservation of our first flight (and you never say no to a discount, no matter how small).

Of course, in addition to all these apps to compare the prices of different companies, we have those of the airlines themselves, which will also allow us to buy flights directly. It is mandatory to highlight at this point that, although many times both the outbound and the return flights selected through the comparators are managed by the same company, in others it will not be so (going with Ryanair and returning with Norwegian, for example) , which highlights the value of these apps designed to obtain the best prices.

Now you know some of the best ways to get your next ticket at a cheaper price, so pack your bags, take your backpack, traveling has already been said!
