Find Mistake Fares on Skyscanner

You’ll be happy to know you can find mistake fares without even leaving the site. If there are specific destinations you have in mind and are looking for a great deal, you can simply do a flight search on the web or app and set a price alert to be notified when the flight price drops.

Airfare Watchdog to find Mistake Fares

Airfarewatchdog.com, one of the top sites for finding secret flights, has a team of deal hunters who search for mistake fares. Airfare Watchdog maintains a list of the top 50 cheapest flights they’ve found.

Secret Flying

Another error fare finder you can use for locating the cheapest flights is Secret Flying. You can search for specific flights you’re interested in or browse the Trending and Latest Deals categories for great ideas on where to travel. If the Secret Flying website identifies what you think is a mistake fare then use Skyscanner to focus in on the best deal.

The Flight Deal

While most travel sites just show you the good deals, The Flight Deal has a separate category for bad deals. Under the Bad Deals category, the site warns you about flight booking scams and bad deals.

hey provide reasons, too, why they think a deal is a bad one. To find secret flights that are good deals, check under their Flight Deals category. Examples of good error fares that The Flight Deal has posted recently are $294 round-trip from Phoenix to Montreal, including all taxes; $231 round-trip from Dallas to Edmonton, including all taxes; and $510 round-trip from Portland to Glasgow, Scotland, including all taxes.

If you identify a flight route that you wish to investigate then use a Skyscanner search to see all options.

Scott’s Cheap Flights for Mistake Fares

Travelers can find mistake flights through Scott’s Cheap Flights with savings of an average of $600 per ticket. You can subscribe to their email newsletter to stay on top of the latest error fares. The downside of this mistake fare finder is that they only search for international flights. If you’re searching for a cheap domestic flight, you can still use Skyscanner to find the best deal.

Another difference of Scotts Cheap Flights is that they only show all deals to premium members, meaning you’ll have to pay for a membership to have access to all deals. According to their website, free subscribers are sent approximately one-third of the error fares they discover. It’s a useful site to point you in the right direction before you book cheap flights on Skyscanner.

According to tsa.gov, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is preparing for the agency’s busiest travel season ever, as 263 million passengers and crew are projected to pass through security checkpoints nationwide from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend – Thursday, May 23, through Tuesday, September 3.

After receiving my Ancestry DNA results,

I decided to plan a Solo Trip to the Motherland. West Africa was in my sights, but I didn't know what Country I wanted to visit. After extensive research and connecting with other fellow solo travelers on Facebook Travel Groups, I decided to book a Trip to Ghana with Ghana Dipci Tours.

I’ve put together some traveler tips for those planning a trip to Ghana for the "Year of Return," the 400th to commensurate the arrival of captured Africans to the U.S. In remembrance of this monumental date, Ghana's President Nana Akufo-Addo declared and formally launched the "Year of Return, Ghana 2019" for Africans in the Diaspora.

Panama City Beach

"Never Let a fool kiss you or a kiss fool you!"

For the past 3 years, I've been living out of a suit case. It's difficult to find and cultivate a relationship when your only in town for a few months. Solo travel has been amaze-balls! I love the freedom to do what I want, when I want. However, after a year on the go I began to wonder what it would be like to plan a baecation, have someone carry my bags, have a personal photographer, someone to open the uber door, and rub my ass on the beach!

Arenal Volcano

Costa Rica is such a fascinating destination in Central America, and I knew that I simply had to experience as much of it as I could during a recent stay. I chose to stop in four different areas of the country, which were La Fortuna, Monteverde, San Jose, and Puerto Viejo.
