13 tips to score cheaper fares with Google Flights

 

If you're someone always on the lookout for the best flight deals, then Google Flights is a tool you need to know about. This search engine offers features that can help you find the best fares when you want to travel. It ranks the flights based on the best trade-off between price and convenience, including factors such as duration, number of stops, and airport changes during layovers. 

 

When you search for flights on Google Flights, it automatically sorts the results by "Best available flights," which shows the best value by price, length, time of day, and other factors. Google Flights compares offers from over 300 travel partners, including airlines, online travel agencies, and aggregators to show you the results.

With that said,  there are some tricks and tools you can use to find the best fare. In this blog post, we'll explore how to make the most out of Google Flights and its features to get the best deals. So, let's dive in and learn how to use Google Flights to find the best fares for your next adventure. 

 

Use flexible date search: Google Flights offers a flexible date search feature that lets you search for the cheapest flights to Belize within a specific range of dates. This is a great tool for finding the cheapest days to travel to Belize.

 

Select and adjust the duration of your trip.  To find the best price sometimes is worth staying 1 or 2 extra days if this will save you money on your flight, if it may be worth staying an extra day or two. Consider the pros and cons and the additional cost of accommodation vs flight rate. You can adjust the number of days on your trip on the calendar.

Set up price alerts: Google Flights allows you to set up price alerts for flights to Belize. This means that you will receive an email notification when the price of a particular flight changes, allowing you to book the flight when it is at its cheapest.

 

Book in advance: As with most travel, the earlier you book your flights to Belize, the cheaper they are likely to be. Try to book your flights at least two to three months in advance for the best deals.

 

Be flexible with your departure airport: If you are traveling from a larger city, try looking for flights to Belize from nearby airports. You may be able to find cheaper flights by flying out of a smaller airport that is not as busy.

Avoid peak travel season: Belize is a popular destination, particularly during the winter months. If you can be flexible with your travel dates, try to avoid traveling during peak season to find cheap flights.

 

Use incognito mode: When searching for flights to Belize, use incognito mode to avoid cookies and web history being used to manipulate prices. This can help you find the cheapest flights possible.

Choose the right day to fly: Tuesdays and Wednesdays are often the cheapest days to fly, as they are less popular travel days. Try to avoid traveling on weekends, which tend to be the most expensive.

 

Compare different airlines: Finally, when searching for flights to Belize, be sure to compare different airlines. Some airlines may offer cheaper flights to Belize than others, so be sure to shop around for the best deals.

Add Stops to Reduce Ticket Price: If you have a flexible schedule, adding a stop to your itinerary may help you save big. Keep in mind that while two-stop flights can be even cheaper, I recommend sticking to one stop unless you're on a tight budget.

Consider Booking Separate One-Way Tickets:

While not specific to Google Flights, booking two separate one-way tickets can sometimes be cheaper than purchasing a round-trip ticket. Whether you book with the same airline or different ones, it's worth comparing prices to see if you can save.

Use Airline Filters to Maximize Benefits

If you're loyal to a particular airline or alliance, using the "airlines" filter can help you earn more points and perks. Although this may not always lead to the lowest fare, it can be worth it if loyalty is more important to you.

Explore More Filters on Google Flights

There are other options you can play with to find the most convenient flights for you. For instance:

 

  • Bags: Some airlines charge extra for checked luggage and carry-ons. By using the bags filter, you can see the total price of your flight including these fees.
  • Price: This filter allows you to set a maximum budget for your flight and adjust the slider accordingly.
  • Times: If you prefer to fly at a specific time of day, you can use the times filter to search for flights departing or arriving at your preferred time.
  • Connecting Airports: This filter can be useful if you're unable to travel to certain connecting countries due to visa restrictions.

 

By using these tips and tricks, you can find the cheapest flights to Belize and enjoy a thrilling adventure in Belize's paradise.
Happy travels!  Trend Alert ... currenlty many airlines have deep discounts for travel to Belize in November and part of December, keep in mind  holiday season is peak season. Find the bst deals before it's too late!
