Money Saving Hacks

Money Saving Tip #1: Check Price Forecast before you book a flight

So you’re about too book your ticket, but there’s always that little nagging fear – what if the price suddenly drops tomorrow? Should you wait? But then, what if the fare goes up?

Lucky for you, there’s KAYAK Price Forecast, a seemingly magical tool to help you guess if it’s a good time to book.

KAYAK data scientists have studied years of flight data to gain an understanding of the factors that normally affect price fluctuation. Pretty brainy, huh? It’s not an exact science, but we’re pretty confident in it.

Whenever you make a flight search, simply check the top left corner once the results have loaded – you’ll see a recommendation on whether to BUY NOW or WAIT. If it’s a good time to buy, grab your tickets while they’re hot! If not, cool your jets and wait for the price to go down in the next 7 days. You can also create an alert to make sure you know as soon as they do.

Money Saving Tip #2: Set up a Price Alert to get notified when price changes

Maybe you know exactly where you want to go but you’re not really concerned about the when, as long as you get a good deal.

By setting up a KAYAK Price Alert, you can track prices for the hotels and flights you want. We’ll send you an email or a push notification whenever prices change. That way, you’ll know if it’s the right time to book.

This is often a win for long-haul flights, which can sometimes have huge fluctuations in prices.

Money Saving Tip #3: Check if you can bring your luggage as a carry-on to save baggage fees

If you are travelling alone, chances are you probably just need a carry-on and don’t need to check them in.

Our new Bag Measurement tool helps you calculate your bag’s size and know if it’ll fit in the overhead bin (or not) before you get to the airport so you can confidently breeze through check-in and not have to worry about having to pay extra fees to get your bags checked in.
