How to find the lowest flight prices
If you fancy a trip overseas then there are a couple of ways to find cheap flights - whatever the time of year. Use tools like SkyScanner and Google Flights to compare flight prices across thousands of destinations with hundreds of airlines.
Both websites also tell you the historical price, so you can tell whether you're paying over the odds.
You can also hear about the best deals on the market before anyone else by signing up for newsletters with budget airlines like Ryanair, easyJet and Monarch and by following them on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
It's usually where they release sale information and you'll be first past the post.
Ryanair’s Robin Kiely said: “The temperatures have dropped and now our fares are getting even lower as we kick off ‘Cyber Week’, our biggest-ever week of sales. We have 8 days of amazing deals on the Ryanair.com website and app, offering the best airfare deals in Europe.
