FRONTIER

If you’re flying around America (and don’t mind roughing it), then Frontier is far and away the best place to score a cheap flight. Right now, their online deals are as low as $20 each way to spots all over the country. Don’t expect any frills or five-star service. But they will get you there for next to nothing.

KAYAK EXPLORE

If you’re just looking to get away, then Kayak Explore might be your best bet. Simply input your home city — or the city you’re planning to visit — and the cheapest flights from that location will pop up. It’s great if you’re starting off a trip and it’s also sweet if you want to tag on a trip while you’re already on the road.

Either way, you’ll be able to source some seriously good deals. Case in point, if you’re in Berlin this year, you can get a flight to Israel for $27 round trip.

BRITISH AIRWAYS VACATION

British Airways offers pretty sweet deals if you want to get to Europe and not worry about a decent hotel. Between now and January 22nd, you can buy a ticket on BA from US cities to London with five nights of accommodation for as little as $699 total. That’s seven hundred bucks for a flight on a carrier where you get fed, free booze, and a free luggage alongside a nice hotel in London — a city where you can easily spend $700 just on the hotel.
