About FareHacker

Flight prices for the same trip can vary wildly depending on which search engine you use, which airport you fly from, and whether you book one round-trip ticket or two separate one-ways. FareHacker exists to remove the tedium of checking every site yourself — enter a trip once, and get live comparison links across the search engines that matter, plus the specific tricks worth trying for your route.

Why this site exists

FareHacker was developed by a traveller who understands that we all have different tastes and budgets. The guides and options here are designed to help most travellers get to most destinations, whether you're after the cheapest possible fare, a more flexible ticket, or simply a clearer idea of what your options are before you book.

What FareHacker actually does

We don't run our own flight search or store fare data. Instead, we build correctly-formatted search links into Skyscanner, Kayak, and Aviasales for your exact trip, so you land directly on real, live results for all three instead of retyping your trip into each site separately.

How we make money

Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. If you book through one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This never changes which platforms we show, how we order them, or the advice in our guides.

A note on the "tricks"

Some of the money-saving techniques we cover — like split-ticketing or using secondary airports — are completely standard and low-risk. Others, like hidden-city ticketing, carry real risks (like an airline cancelling your remaining segments) that we explain honestly in the relevant guide rather than glossing over.
