Finding a good fare

How to recognise a real deal

We do not publish “from” prices. Fares change by the hour, and a number on a banner rarely matches your dates. These habits work better.

Know the usual fare for your route

Search the same route across a few weeks before you commit. Once you have seen the normal range, a genuinely low fare is easy to spot.

Plan around busy periods

Demand rises around school holidays, Diwali, Christmas and New Year, and for Australia and New Zealand during their summer. For those dates, searching early gives you more choice.

Try nearby dates and airports

Flexibility is the biggest lever you have. Compare a few departure days, and on longer trips consider flying back from a different city.

Use multi-city for bigger trips

Flying into one city and out of another, such as Melbourne in and Christchurch out, can save a backtrack. Use Create multi-city route under the search.

Check it is still a deal at checkout

Add bags and seats, read the fare rules and confirm the total in your currency before paying.

Questions

Frequently asked

Do you list flight deal prices?

No. We do not publish fixed prices because fares change constantly. The live search shows current fares for your exact dates.

When should I book international flights from India?

There is no single best day for every route. Search a few weeks ahead to learn the usual fare, and book earlier for festival and holiday periods when demand is higher.

Are low-cost airline fares good deals?

They can be. Check what is included, because checked baggage, seats and meals may cost extra on some fares.

Can you tell me when a fare is good?

Yes. Message us your route and dates on WhatsApp and we will look at the options with you.
