6. Use the Nearby Airports Feature
Sometimes flying from or to a nearby airport can significantly reduce your travel costs. Google Flights allows you to search for flights from multiple airports within a certain radius of your origin or destination.
To use this feature, enter your departure and arrival cities, then click on the dropdown menu next to the city names to select “Nearby airports.” Google Flights will then include flights from these additional airports in your search results, often revealing cheaper options.
This feature is particularly useful in large metropolitan areas with multiple airports. By comparing prices from different airports, you can choose the most economical option, potentially saving a substantial amount on your airfare.
