Cheap flights and plane tickets with Google Flight!
Google Flight is not the best-known service in the Google galaxy. It is actually a search engine for commercial flights. Take advantage of this luxury before the ecoidiots forbid us to take a plane! At these unbeatable prices, it is often a question of “filling up”: the airlines do not like a vacuum and sell off their seats to limit losses so leave with peace of mind!
Note that Flight does not have a dedicated application, you will have to go to your browser and type ” Google Flight “.
A cheap flight for 5 people please!
In our example, we are looking for a flight for a family of 5 departing from Lyon. The prices will then be indicated for the whole family. Enter the number of people – adults, children, babies – then your starting point and the period you want to leave. It is possible to take flexible dates for a better price. Here we found a non-stop Lyon-Barcelona for 230 €, or 46 € per person! By opening the map, we can see more destinations: the Greek islands for €96/person, London for €63, Malta for €146etc.
Select destinations and compare prices against the rest of the year. Here, the price for Athens with 5 people is €366 cheaper than usual while the price for London is about the same. The trip to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands costs €436 less than average.
Even cheaper with a VPN?
You may not know it, but you risk paying more for your plane ticket if you come from a “rich” country. We often talk to you about VPNs to highlight their many advantages: anonymity, encryption, circumvention of censorship, the possibility of accessing certain hidden content from Netflix, of watching normally paid sports competitions, etc. But there is a less known, but just as practical aspect: paying less for your holidays! By taking a Polish or Moroccan IP, you can pay less for your tickets. It doesn’t work every time, but we’ve tried it and the results are sometimes confusing… If you have a VPN, give it a shot! And if you don’t have a VPN, that’s another reason to get one!
If you don’t know which one, go for the well-known NordVPN which offers one of the best services in its field for €3.99/month. We can also advise you CyberGhost, whose quality is at least equal and which currently offers a promo at €2.19/month with three months free and a 45-day money-back guarantee.
