Everything you need to know about finding the cheapest flights online, how error fares and mistake fares work, and how FlyWell.Flights helps you travel more for less — completely free.
Our team scans hundreds of airlines, online travel agencies, and fare aggregators — including Skyscanner, Google Flights, Kayak, and direct airline websites — every single day. We hunt for mistake fares, flash sales, seat sales, and genuine cheap flight deals across thousands of routes worldwide. When a price drops 40–70% below the typical fare, we publish it immediately. The best cheap roundtrip flights disappear fast — sometimes within hours — so we move quickly so you don't miss out.
A mistake fare (also called an error fare or glitch fare) is a flight price published in error — usually caused by a currency conversion bug, a missing fuel surcharge, or a data entry mistake by the airline or booking system. These are the most extreme cheap flights you'll ever find — sometimes 80–90% off the normal roundtrip price. Many airlines do honour them, especially if you book quickly and receive a booking confirmation. We label error fares clearly so you always know the risk before you click.
No — and we'll always be honest about that. Airline ticket prices are set and controlled entirely by airlines and third-party booking platforms. They can change or sell out at any moment. We post deals the instant we find them, but by the time you click through, the cheap fare may have been snapped up. Always verify the final price on the booking platform before confirming any purchase.
There's no single magic answer, but research consistently shows a few patterns: Tuesdays and Wednesdays tend to have lower fares on many routes as airlines adjust pricing after weekend demand. Booking 6–8 weeks in advance often hits the sweet spot for short-haul European flights, while 3–6 months ahead works better for long-haul routes to Asia, the Americas, or Australia. Flying mid-week (Tuesday–Thursday) is almost always cheaper than Friday or Sunday. The single best tip: set up fare alerts on Skyscanner for your route and let the algorithm do the work.
No. FlyWell.Flights is a free flight deal discovery and information service. We don't sell airline tickets, process bookings, or operate as a travel agency. Every deal on this site links directly to the airline or a trusted booking platform like Skyscanner, where your transaction takes place entirely with them. We have no involvement in the booking or payment process.
Completely free — no account, no subscription, no hidden fees. Browse every cheap flight deal, click through to book, and pay nothing to us. We may introduce an optional premium membership in the future for early access to exclusive deals and personalised fare alerts, but the core flight deals service will always be 100% free to use.
Use the From field to type your departure city or country, To for your destination, and When to select a travel month. Any combination works — leave fields blank to browse all current cheap flights. Deals filter instantly as you type. The region filter pills (Europe, USA, Asia, etc.) let you narrow results by destination region in one click.
We update the deals grid daily — and multiple times a day when we find something exceptional. The freshest cheap flight deals appear at the top. Check back regularly: the best deals on business class flights, error fares, and deeply discounted economy tickets tend to last only hours before airlines correct or remove them.
Before confirming any cheap airline ticket, always check: baggage allowance (many budget fares are carry-on only and add checked luggage fees that can double the price), fare flexibility (cheap fares are usually non-refundable and non-changeable), connection times on multi-stop flights, visa requirements for your destination and any transit countries, and travel insurance — especially for non-refundable bookings. Reading the full fare conditions takes two minutes and can save you hundreds.
Cheap flights move fast and some expire within hours of posting. If the price has gone up, try: flexible dates on the same route (±2–3 days often recovers the low fare), nearby airports (e.g. Brussels instead of Amsterdam), or setting a Skyscanner price alert for the route so you're notified automatically when prices drop again. You can also contact us and we'll check whether the deal is still available on alternate dates.
Airlines use dynamic pricing algorithms that vary by market — meaning the exact same seat can have a different price depending on which country's version of a booking site you use. This is sometimes called a hidden city fare or point-of-sale pricing. We source many deals via Skyscanner's Swedish market, which consistently surfaces some of the lowest EUR-denominated fares in Europe due to high competition and algorithm differences. Searching in EUR from a Swedish market setting is one of the most reliable ways to find cheap roundtrip international flights.
Some links on FlyWell.Flights are affiliate links — meaning we may earn a small referral commission if you book through them, at absolutely no extra cost to you. Affiliate revenue is how we keep the flight deal service free. It never influences which cheap flights we feature, how we rank them, or how we describe them. We only post deals we'd genuinely book ourselves. Full transparency is in our Terms of Service.
Yes please! We love reader tip-offs. Use the Contact form to send us the route, the price, the dates, and any booking link. If it checks out we'll post it fast. The best cheap flights are a community effort — the more eyes on fares, the more deals everyone benefits from.
