Tips for Booking Cheap Flights in April 2024
Use our calendar to find the cheapest flight
The best place to start when you're looking for cheap flights in April with Alternative Airlines is our handy calendar. Our flight search calendar highlights all the cheapest flights in green and all the most expensive flights in red. It's really easy to use and useful as it eliminates the most expensive times to fly before you've even run a search.
To use the calendar, just click to select a date as you normally would on our flight search form. The calendar will automatically load with dates colour-coded.
Sort by 'lowest price'
Once you've run a flight search on our site, we list all available flights for your chosen dates and destinations. By default, we sort these results by 'recommended', which is an algorithm that we've put together that factors in both the length of the flight and the price. We sort the results based on those factors, with the 'best' results at the best.
However, if you care more about finding the cheapest flight than you do the shortest journey time, you can change the results to sort them by 'lowest price'. This will bring all the cheapest results for your chosen dates in April to the top of the results so that you don't have to search through 100s of flights yourself.
Use our 'cheapest airline' banner
Another way to quickly find the cheapest flights is to use the banner at the top of our results and select the airline with the cheapest flight. We display all airlines that have flights available for your search along with their cheapest flight. Once you click on the airline logo, we'll filter results to show only flights from that airline, with the cheapest flights at the top.
Pick a payment method that'll help you save
While it won't technically make your flight any cheaper, if you choose the right payment method, it can make your flight easier to pay off and budget for, which can help you in the long run. For example, our Buy Now Pay Later and financing payment options allow you to spread the cost of your flight over time. This means that you won't have to pay the total cost of your flight upfront and can pay it back in easy-to-manage instalments.
We have various different buy now, pay later options, such as Afterpay, Klarna, Affirm and more! You can find them all at the payment stage of the booking process.
