Five Little Known Secrets to Snagging the Best Airfare Deals

Mix and Match Airlines

Another lesser-known tactic to land cheaper fares is considering different airlines for round trips, often referred to as 'split tickets' or 'hacker fares'.

This involves booking two one-way flights with different airlines. Often, two separate one-way tickets with different airlines can cost less than a round-trip fare with a single airline.

Online platforms like Skyscanner and Kiwi.com help users automate this process, showing combinations of airlines that may render a cheaper option.
