There are many ways to make your trip less expensive, but with service quality. One of them is to find cheap tickets using OnTheFly app – the first project of ITA Software company and Google corporation.

From the very start of work with the app users see innovations. One of the most pleasant is flexible data selection. So, instead of customary departure/ arrival date points you choose range of departure dates (to 35 days) and number of nights you’ll spend out of home.

After this, OnTheFly will offer you a calender and a price chart, allowing to track on what days they are minimal and when it is the most advantageous to get a ticket. So, you can define an accurate date and go straight to the list of offers. Here you see some surprising things the developers prepared for you.

Instead of usual list you will see rather a convenient table with data about companies and number of transfers. Choose a suitable variant and get the route info. And all data are divided into separate tabs.

Here the work with OnTheFly comes to an end. You can not book a ticket through the app (as in Skyscanner, JetRadar or Momondo). But you can get detailed info about booking through the official air company website. For this you need to go on to the “How to Book” inset.

Advantages:

• flexible date selection;
• user-friendly interface.

Disadvantages:

• no possibility of ticket booking.

Choose the necessary route and get all data about it. You can bookmark the necessary route, send info about it by e-mail or book a ticket.

Unlike other search systems (JetRadar, Skyscanner) there are no additional functions in Momondo. On the other hand, the app copes perfectly with its main task – searching for cheap tickets. And it means, that you save not only money, but also time.

Advantages:

The popular KAYAK touristic service is a real discovery for those who go on an independent journey for the first time. One can plan any trip from beginning till end with its help, whether it is vacation in tropical countries or a business trip.

Any trip begins with searching and booking air tickets. And KAYAK copes with this task excellently.

At first, the program will define your location and offer you to choose a route with departure from the nearest airport. However, nobody prevents you from rejecting this opportunity and entering the departure city by yourself. Then define the date (special thanks to the developers for the convenient 2-month calender) and number of travelers.

The derived results can be sorted by price, air company, number of transfers, airports, departure time (the earliest and the latest routes) and flight duration.

You can also easily book a hotel in any part of the world. And KAYAK copes with this task not worse than specialized applications.
Next stage is car rent. You can choose an agency, class of machine and place where you can get it yourself.

However, such service is not surprising at all. What is more surprising in the app is possibility to track the chosen route absolutely for free and get reports about delays. Detailed schemes of terminals and various lists of things for different trip scenarios will be useful too.

As well as the popular TripIt service, the KAYAK app supports automatic route formation on the basis of letters with booking confirmation. You are to send them on trips@kayak.com. But unlike TripIt you do not need to get registered in the system manually, authorization through your Facebook account is available right in the app.

Advantages:

• easy and convenient search;
• possibility to track routes status;
• possibility of data synchronization and planning.

Disadvantages: not found.

Many people started to subscribe to numerous mailing lists and monitor air transportation sites with enviable regularity having learned about the possibility to get air tickets for quite reasonable (and sometimes ridiculous) price.

But independent travel lovers’ enthusiasm rather quickly changed into disappointment: it took hours to find a ticket for the desired direction and their mailbox rather quickly became a dumping ground of unread letters from air companies.

It is quite different when you have a comfortable search system at hand, which will compare millions of flight routes in few seconds and turn a routine search into entertainment. The Skyscanner application is what became such a “Jack at a pinch”.

Literally in a few seconds this clear and simple in use search system will solve the following tasks:

• find the cheapest air ticket for a concrete date (a departure/ arrival airport – as you choose);
• offer a list of the most advantageous offers for a chosen period (a week, month or even a year);
• help you choose a flight without transfers or with minimal amount of them;
• offer a list of the most advantageous directions taking into account your location.

Skyscanner will carefully sort the derived results by departure/ arrival time, flight duration, air company and price, of course. Thereat, a user can choose the wanted currency.

Developers also did not forget about the possibility of on-line reservation: Skyscanner will helpfully redirect you to the air company site when the chosen flight route is pressed.

And finally the main thing: you can download Skyscanner on your smartphone absolutely for free. It is really an application for those who know how to make advantageous purchases.

Advantages:

• user-friendly interface;
• easy search;
• on-line reservation.

Disadvantages: not found.
