Tips for Finding the Best Flight Deals this Travel Tuesday
The following strategies can help you discover the best deals for Travel Tuesday.
The first and most important thing is to activate price alerts. We will focus on two of the most popular platforms, Google Flights and Skyscanner, where you can set up price alerts for your flights to your favorite destinations. To make the most of Travel Tuesday, make sure you have previously explored the destinations on our website so that you can keep track of the different flight options and make decisions more easily. This will allow you to stay on top of price drops and quickly decide if the cost of the flight is the only thing holding you back.
GOOGLE FLIGHTS
Let’s start by explaining what exactly Google Flights is and what it offers you. Then, we will teach you in a simple and step-by-step way how to search for flights and how to know if the price you are seeing is really the best. Remember that the page to access the service is Google.com/flights.
Google Flights is a search engine created by Google to help you find cheaper flights on the Internet.
To start, Google Flights will automatically detect the city you’re in or your nearest airport (if you’re using a VPN, you’ll have to manually enter your nearest airport.) On the main page, it will make flight suggestions but what you have to do is choose the departure and destination airports, travel dates or stopovers, as well as many other options to segment or explore your possibilities. You can even look for flights that have WiFi on board.
The main goal of Google Flights is to help you find the cheapest flights possible. For this reason, the search engine will prioritize less expensive flights and will mark in green and red when a price is below or above the usual one.
Finally, it is important that you know that reservations are not made through Google Flights. Google only shows you the results, and when you select the booking option, you will be redirected directly to the airline’s page offering the price, where you will make the reservation.
Viewing and Comparing Prices on Google Flights
To see all your ticket prices and effectively compare options on Google Flights, follow these steps:
- Access Google Flights from your browser.
- Enter your destination, travel dates and any other relevant details in the search fields.
- Press the search button to get a list of available flight options.
- On the results screen, you will be able to see a selection of flights along with their prices. Google Flights shows a comparison of fares from different airlines for the selected dates, allowing you to evaluate which is the best option according to your budget and needs.
How to Enable Google Flights Notifications
To enable Google Flights notifications and be aware of changes in flight prices of interest to you, follow these steps:
- Access Google Flights from your browser.
- Perform a search using your travel criteria, including destination, date and flight preferences.
- Once you get the search results, look for the option to turn on notifications. This option usually appears as a switch or button that says “Track Prices.” Activate it.
- If you are not signed in to your Google account, the system will ask you to do so to track prices and send you notifications.
Once price tracking is activated, Google will send you email notifications every time it detects a significant variation in the price of the flights you are monitoring.
It’s important to make sure email notifications are enabled in your Google Account settings. This will ensure that you receive notices in your inbox in a timely manner.
SKYSCANNER
Skyscanner is a global search engine, similar to Google Flights, that compares flights to help you find the best deals. Their service is free, and after performing a search, users are redirected to the airline’s website to complete the reservation. Skyscanner does not sell flights directly, but instead shows various offers so you can find the cheapest price and book directly with the airline.
To create a price alert, you can use the Skyscanner app or website. Below, we explain how to do it from each one.
Create a Price Alert on the Skyscanner Website
- Sign in to Skyscanner Web
Access the Skyscanner Website and log in. - Find your flight
Enter your departure city, destination and travel date. After completing the search, you will see a list with the best prices. On the left, you’ll find a button that says “Receive Price Alerts.” Click on it. - Alert confirmation
A confirmation window will appear indicating that your Price Alert has been created successfully.
Create a Price Alert in the App (available for Apple and Android)

Choose your app: Apple or Android - Sign in to Skyscanner
After downloading the app, create a profile and log in. You can do it with Facebook, Google or email. - Search and compare flight prices
Once you’re signed in, search for flights to your destination. Choose departure city, destination and travel date. You can filter for one-way flights, round trips, or multiple destinations. - Activate the Price Alert from the app
On the results screen, select the bell icon in the upper right corner to activate the alert. You can then choose to receive alerts only for direct or stopover flights.
To verify that the alert has been created, go to your profile and select “Price Alerts.” There you can see all active alerts and delete those you no longer need.
Ready! As soon as the price of your flight increases or decreases, you will receive notifications through the app and by email so you can take advantage of Travel Tuesday offers.
Check the offers
When analyzing a flight deal, consider more than just the ticket price. Check the included services: Check the policies to see if the fare includes checked bags, carry-on luggage or on-board meals, or if there are additional charges.
Also consider options such as in-flight entertainment, WiFi availability, and seat comfort, especially on long flights. Airlines like American, United, Delta, and JetBlue offer different levels of convenience, so identifying what you value most will help you choose the best deal.
The location of the airports is another important factor: check the departure and arrival points of your flight to avoid inconveniences.
Lastly, check the airline’s change fees and cancellation policies.
Apply promotional codes and use credit card offers

Promotional codes offered by airlines, credit cards, or email subscriptions can provide additional discounts on flights.

Some credit cards include travel benefits that can optimize your savings and improve your experience. In addition to points and miles, many cards offer airline credits, access to airport lounges, and generous welcome bonuses that translate into savings on your travel expenses.
By using promotional codes and choosing the right travel credit card, you can unlock significant savings and enjoy additional benefits that will make your travel experience special.
Book Round Trip Flights
Booking round-trip flights instead of one-way tickets can result in significant savings, especially considering that many airlines are known for offering competitive fares.
Here are reasons why round trip fares may offer better value for money:
- Pricing structure: By booking a round-trip flight, you agree to cover both legs of your trip with the same airline, allowing them to offer a combined fare at a lower cost per flight compared to booking each leg separately.
- Price consistency: Airlines typically maintain consistent prices for round-trip flights, providing predictability in your travel expenses. In contrast, one-way fares may be subject to dynamic pricing, making it difficult to obtain fixed, affordable fares for each leg.
- Promotions and discounts: Airlines frequently offer promotions on round-trip fares, which may include seasonal sales, loyalty program rewards, or special offers for specific routes.
- Reduced rates: Booking a round-trip flight typically involves fewer fees compared to booking two separate one-way tickets. You can save on booking fees, change fees, and baggage costs, as airlines often bundle these costs into the overall fare.
Seek Alliances and Partnerships with Airlines
Alliances and partnerships between airlines offer a variety of benefits that can result in better deals, reduced fares, and shared loyalty points. One of the main advantages is the ability to earn and redeem loyalty points on multiple airlines within the same alliance.
Travel Tuesday is an ideal time to explore these promotions, as alliances often launch special discounts during this day. Some of the major airline alliances include:
- Star Alliance: Airlines such as United Airlines, Lufthansa and Air Canada.
- Oneworld: Includes American Airlines, British Airways and Japan Airlines, among others.
- SkyTeam: Members such as Delta Air Lines, Air France and KLM.
It’s important to mention that low-cost airlines, such as Allegiant and Spirit, are generally not part of major alliances.
Now that you have all this information, you are ready to prepare for Travel Tuesday. Start creating your price alerts for your flights and buy your dream trip with LESMON, taking advantage of the special discounts offered today.
