Economical International Flights and cheap Airfares on national flights is what have been offered to the air passengers since 1995 online. It is admirably transparent about this; when you click the dropdown menu for any deal, it displays its own price first but also includes fares from other sites and the airlines itself that sometimes beat it. Its results screen remains one of the most complete in terms of all the intel it offers in its dashboard—though it would be nice to include actual baggage fees rather than generic notes like baggage fees may apply” on airlines it knows will charge them.

Hipmunk has always thought outside the search-results box, starting with its unique bar graph presentation—you can see at a glance, in clear graphics, the relative flight lengths, departure and arrival times, stopovers, and Wi-Fi availability of all the results.

If the airport you want isn’t on the list of our gateway cities, then select the ‘Custom Flight Arrangements’ option and then the airport you want from the full list of airports in the U.S. If you choose the custom flight option, we won’t include the cost of your airfare in your initial purchase.

Even better: Track prices for desired flights through a site like Google Flights GOOGL, -0.82{826073ef6d1a61b6adff20ad8f01143beccec0d238f11bff8ad6a1f8666790ee} — this month, Google even launched a feature where you can set a budget and from that get ideas on where to travel — and set fare alerts with a site like Yapta.

Add to that its decent filters, a flexible dates whole month” calendar and graph on every search, the ability to search for destinations in an entire country rather than just one city (you can even type Everywhere” in the destination field for a list of cheap fares from any departure airport), and our verdict is made clear: We suggest never booking a ticket without checking Skyscanner first.
