Google Flights Tip

When you're looking for an affordable flight from the United States or Canada, Google's Flight Search feature can help you find the lowest prices by date. Let's say you're planning on flying from New York to London for a seven day trip in December. On google.com/flights, enter the arrival and departure locations and click on the chart icon in the right corner and a calendar will appear. Select how many days you'd like your trip to last and the calendar instantly updates to show the dates with the lowest fares. When you click on one of the bars -- say, December 11 slated for $698 -- you'll see flight options appear for that price. From there, you can select the flight you want and hit "Book" to finish your purchase knowing that you've done your research and saved some dough in the process.
