Hi Kelly,

I always use price comparison sites like:

www.farecompare.com

www.momodo.com

www.skyscanner.com or www.kayak.com

Some airlines in Europe release batches of cheap flights just after midnight and I usually try to book at least 6 weeks in advance.If you have favourite airlines subscribe to their websites so that you'll be the first to be notified about sales. ( I got a few €50 return flights that way!)

Use comparison sites to research prices as Maria mentioned, but do so in a "private" window on your browser. Otherwise, your computer may store cookies which then alerts the site to jack up the price next time you visit. Once I find a price I like, I head over to the airline's site to make my purchase.

Thank you! Great tip about cookies. I get so caught up in searching that I always forget to do that!
