Want to find the very best flight prices? If you’re flexible on when you fly, use Skyscanner’s ‘whole month’ search tool to find the cheapest day to travel to your chosen destination. Read on to find out how to browse and bag the best flight for you.


Our ‘Cheapest Month’ feature is back

Historically one of our most popular money-saving tools, Cheapest Month is back and even better than before – making it easier to see the absolute cheapest month of the year to visit a destination when searching for ‘flexible dates’ and the cheapest price per month.


How to view the cheapest flights by month

Whether you have a specific destination in mind or are open to exploring new horizons, this comprehensive guide will equip you with the knowledge and techniques to navigate the world of air travel like a pro.

Step 1. Select a departure and destination city (or airport)


Step 2. Select ‘Whole month’

Step 5. You can also view the month prices as a chart view, by selecting the ‘chart’ tab

So basically, Skyscanner offers two different views for exploring flight options for an entire month: the calendar view and the chart view.

The calendar view displays a whole month of flight options in a calendar format. Each day is color-coded to indicate the lowest and highest prices.

The chart view, on the other hand, allows users to weigh up flight fares visually by quickly comparing the height of the charts instead of by their specific prices.

Overall, the choice between the calendar view and the chart view will depend on the individual traveler’s needs and preferences.
