This whole website is pretty self-explanatory but I am going to give you a quick operation process 

  • Let’s say you want to fly from Miami to Vienna. Consider the departure Airport is Miami & the destination airport Vienna.
  • Set travel date that you need to be in Vienna just for example let’s take the 1st May 2020 and you can say departure on this day only. And you want to fly back on let’s say the 7th of May.
  • Next, select the number of passenger.
  • In-Cabin option select the cheapest ticket available. Although you could choose a premium economy, business class or first class.

Business Class

  • Next, you can define how many stops you want on this travel. The stops actually mean how many layovers are there going to be on this trip. I suggest leave it at no limit.
  • So when you hit search the button software takes a while because it is going through a ton of different flight routes and flight options. It takes two or three minutes just leave it be it will find the results don’t try to refresh the page or anything because you will lose the fares that you found so far.

  • The more flexibility you have the cheaper your tickets are going to be. So what you have to do is see what airports would be ok for you to depart from and which airport would be ok to fly to.
  • The software actually has a great tool built right into it. Suppose If you click on nearby next to Miami you can see which airports are located in a vicinity of 75 miles.
  • You can set that value to anything you want. If you set - let’s say - 200 miles it will show you a ton of airports. And select the airport which is ok for you.

Miami Airport

  • Alternatively, you could just select all the airports if you like. Let’s give that a bash & it brought in all the airport codes right into the field.
  •  Now let’s go to the destination. Now Vienna in general is a very expensive airport. So check for the alternatives you have.  Let’s select Europe there are a ton of airports you could fly to and the trip from that airport to Vienna is only going to be very short. Train fares are very cheap in Europe so that’s a good alternative. So just to try this out select all again and bring this to the search field.

  • So now as you are fairly flexible on this trip. You don’t have any set dates where you have to be anywhere you can still plan ahead which you also should do when you are planning a vacation.
  • So instead of searching exact dates see the calendar of lowest fares. You want to stay for 7 days but if you are able to stay 7-10 days, put in 7-10 days. Again it's going to be one adult flying. Cheapest available no limit on the stops and search this.
  • Now this search is going to take substantially longer than the first search because now it is searching through thousands of routes and this might take up to ten minutes.
  • Alright, now the software will show you a calendar of cheapest fares. And compare it with your previous discount. So now just click on the new airfare and It will show which airport it actually picked out for you.
  •  But now when you look at that in detail the price went down even a little bit more. Stop here and check whether the picked airports are in your comfort zone or not. Select the appropriate nearby airport through which your destination is not too far and you can travel little bit easily.
  • So that’s perfect. Now let’s consider the airports that you picked are too far away you can always still go back and modify your search a little bit. You can delete the airports and define airports yourself. You can increase the flexibility by a little bit. Just to get a cheaper flight. There are still a few options you can look into. There are different flight times, there are different stop over’s, there are different airlines.

  • Just pick whatever you like most or which is the most convenient for you. And then you click on the price. Now, this going to bring up a page that has a summary of all the booking details, all the flight details. But you can't actually book your flight on this website. What you are going to have to do is either try and find the flight with these exact dates on flights.google.com, firstflytravel.com, orbisfliers.com  and more.
  • You could try going to your local travel agent and booking it with them or I have another super cool tool for you a second website which is called bookwithmatrix.com. The way this works is you take your fare code to this site. You just click anywhere on your booking website press ctrl+a on a windows computer copy everything you selected and paste it into bookwithmatrix website.
