40 Secret and Saavy Airport Hacks Only Frequent Flyers Know

Tip #37: Utilize Google Flights' "Explore" Feature

Beyond basic search, Google Flights' "Explore" feature is a powerful tool for flexible travelers. Instead of entering a specific destination, you can input your departure airport, travel dates (or leave them flexible), and a budget. Google Flights will then show you a map of the world with various destinations and the cheapest flights available, even highlighting places you might not have considered. This is excellent for finding inspiration and discovering incredibly cheap fares to unexpected locations.
