How can I find the cheapest international flights with flexible dates?
Airline Tickets
Red asked:
Travelocity has a flexible dates option to find the cheapest fares between now and about a year from now, but it’s only for domestic US flights. Is there any way I can get the same type of information for a flight from Melbourne, Australia (MEL) to Salt Lake City, Utah (SLC)? We don’t care as much about WHEN my sister-in-law comes for a visit as how cheap we can get a ticket for her.
Every website I’ve tried, I have to enter specific dates. And Priceline is only for flights originating in the US. I want to find the cheapest price between now and June without having to search every day separately.

I suggest for you
Mobissimo integrates all sites from travel agencies to priceline, and you know the airlines, the time, the price. Everything is available for you. I went to Brazil last December and I purchase a ticket through mobissimo. They had the best price from all the other websites.

Yes– Zuji.com. Much like Travelocity’s flex-date search, and it will show international pricing.

you do have to search dates individually but it is cheapest I’ve found.
A flight that normally costs $3500 came up as $900!

I found that sometimes you get the best way is to call airlines direct. Sometimes the internet is cheaper, sometimes the phone operators are cheaper. Check out both to make sure you get the best deal. There are a few other simple suggestions you should follow too:
– Choose the same airline for all legs of your itinerary whenever possible so you can take advantage of all connecting and round-trip airfares.
– Try to fly on the least popular days: Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday.
– Remember that Saturday night stays are usually required for most bargain airfares.
– Try to select the least popular flight times: mid-morning or late evening.
– Check with discount airlines for cheaper fares.
– Try to book as far in advance as possible. Generally try to purchase your tickets at least 21 days in advance of departure. Many airlines also have specials requiring three-, seven- or 14-day advance purchase.
– In general, the cheapest airfares are available in the spring and summer.
– If you travel around the holidays, book your departure and return flights a day or more before and after peak travel dates. If you’re flexible, you might benefit by waiting until the last minute to book your flight because major carriers often run special sales. These sales, however, often have a long list of rules, restrictions and blackout dates.
–Consider booking tickets that come with restrictions because they also come with a cheaper price tag.
– Consider using alternate airports near your desired airport. The extra drive can save you hundreds of dollars.
–Be as flexible as possible with your dates.
