Eight tips for booking cheap flights on Kiwi.com

The best time and day to book flights

It’s easy to find the best time and day to fly using Kiwi.com’s flexible search engine. You can enter the exact dates you’d like to travel, or you can choose a range of dates to find the cheapest option.

When you search, you will see the lowest price available on each date, so you can select the one that’s right for you, or filter to find the fastest or best options. You can also filter flights by maximum price, or choose a range of prices.

Find cheap flights without a destination

If you want to find the cheapest flights to anywhere, you can do that on Kiwi.com as well. If you don’t have a particular destination, simply choose your departure location and select ‘Anywhere’ as your destination. This will show you the cheapest routes from your location.

You can also use our map search to find a cheap destination: zoom in or move the map, and destinations and prices will appear. You can see the best deals highlighted in green, so you’ll know you’re getting a great price.

Find cheap international flights

Search for flexible deals on international flights using Multi-city. You can choose multiple cities to visit, select the dates or date range you’d like to travel, and our Kiwi-Code will find you an itinerary. You can then filter by cheapest, fastest or best, and buy the whole itinerary for one price, in one click.

NOMAD is a feature of Kiwi.com that helps you find the cheapest Multi-city price if you want to visit a number of cities, but you’re flexible about which order to see them. It’s a travel hack that exists only to find you the cheapest price. Select NOMAD from the drop-down search menu, enter your origin city and the destinations you’d like to visit. Choose a time period to stay in each city. Select an end city (or return to your origin city), and click Search journeys. NOMAD then calculates every possible route combination and finds you the cheapest. Like Multi-city, you can book your whole itinerary for one price, in one click. It’s an amazing tool, and one that’s exclusive to Kiwi.com.

Using Kiwi.com’s Kiwi-Code, even if the airlines on your itinerary don’t usually have a partnership to work together, we can combine routes and deals that don’t normally exist to give you the cheapest price available for your entire trip.

Flying on a budget

If you always want to see the cheapest deals, Kiwi.com has a number of ways to help. If you subscribe to Kiwi.com, we will send alerts and offers directly to you so you’ll never miss a low price again.

When you search, you can also set up a Price Alert: this means that Kiwi.com searches low prices for you! Choose the route you’re interested in, and on the results screen you will see a ‘Create price alert’ button. Click this and choose a price range. When the price of your route changes by this amount, we will email you to tell you. You can then book at this cheaper price.

Sometimes, routes open and close depending on the season, the popularity of the route, or other unforeseen conditions. If you search for a route and there are no results, Kiwi.com Availability Alerts can help. Click ‘Notify me’, and when this route opens, we will message you.

When you search for a route that combines both short- and long-haul flights, you can work within your budget by combining different cabin classes: economy, premium economy, business class or first class. For example, if you want to fly from New York to Paris in business class, but don’t want to pay for the same on the Paris to Berlin part of your itinerary, you can choose not to. This allows you to have better prices: mixed cabin classes are more affordable than booking only business or first class trips, and it also gives you more route options.

Another way to save even more money is with our flexible Fare Types. When you book with Kiwi.com, we offer three different Fare Types, so you can choose the best combination of price and flexibility. The Saver ticket is the option to choose if you don’t plan to cancel or change your trip, and gives you the absolute lowest price available. The Standard ticket gives you the option to rebook at a later date, and the Flexi ticket means you have the security to be able to not only rebook, you can also cancel your trip entirely.

Why book with Kiwi.com?

With over 480 carriers and more than 50 million daily searches, Kiwi.com is fast becoming an essential tool for people who want to save money on travel.

As well as finding the cheapest prices, Kiwi.com has a number of ways to make sure you get to your destination smoothly.

When you book with Kiwi.com, you can add the Kiwi.com Guarantee to your journey. This means that if there is a problem with your trip — a canceled flight, a missed connection, a carrier change — contact us, and Kiwi.com will find a new flight, offer you a refund, or find alternative transport to your destination. In the meantime, we may also provide a contribution to refreshments or accommodation, so you can relax while we do the work. The Kiwi.com Guarantee is valid across all modes of transport on Kiwi.com, so whether it’s plane, train or bus, you’ll know you’re covered.

The Kiwi.com Guarantee is especially recommended for itineraries that include multiple carriers: if there’s a problem, we’ll contact them for you and make alternative arrangements. Our 24/7 customer support is available across 14 languages, so there will always be someone there to help.

Cheapest way to fly

To save even more money and have more flexible travel options, Kiwi.com gives you the choice to arrive and depart from different airports.

When you search for a flight to or from a city, if that city has more than one airport, Kiwi.com finds the cheapest route, even if the airport you arrive at is different from the airport you depart from.

You can choose to remove this feature when you search, but to search and book the best low-cost route, this finds the cheapest way to fly.
