How the deals page works

The deals page answers a simple question: where can I fly cheaply from here? It lists the lowest recently found fares from one departure city to destinations around the world.

Where the deals come from

Deals are built from recent searches across our partners. They are refreshed through the day, so the list changes as fares move. Each deal is a real fare that was found recently, but it isn’t a live quote: the partner shows the live price before you pay.

Choosing the departure city

The page starts from your nearest airport, or your home airport if you are signed in. To see deals from somewhere else:

1. Find the Departing from picker at the top of the page.
2. Type a city or airport and choose it from the suggestions.
3. The deals update for that city.

This is handy if you live between two cities, or want to compare a nearby larger airport.

Reading a deal

• The destination and the lowest fare found, usually a return fare.
• The travel dates the fare was found for, and the number of nights.
• Whether it is direct or how many stops it has.
• A badge such as Lowest for the cheapest deal, or Weekend for short trips.

Press a deal to see flights for those dates. If you have an account, use the heart on a deal to save the destination.

Filters

When there are enough deals, chips above the list let you narrow them down. Only chips with matching deals appear:

• Weekend breaks: short trips of a few nights.
• Beaches and Culture & history: destinations known for each.
• Direct only: no stops.
• Under a budget: deals below a set price.

Choose All to see everything again.

Making the most of a deal

1. Open the deal and check the flights and times on the results page.
2. Use the nearby dates strip. Similar fares are often available a few days either side.
3. Press View deal to see the live price on the partner’s site.
4. Not ready? Set a price alert for the route.

If this, then that

• If the page says there are no recent deals from your airport, try a larger city nearby, or search any route directly.
• If a filter shows “No deals of this type right now”, choose another filter or All.
• If the deal’s price is gone when you open it, the fare probably sold out. Check nearby dates or other deals.
• If the page shows deals from the wrong city, change it with the Departing from picker, or set your home airport in your profile.
• If prices are marked as examples, the site is in preview mode and the prices are not real fares.

Deals move fast. Our guide on how to find cheap flights explains how to use deals alongside calendars and alerts.
