Quick, Cheap Flights

Book Quick, Cheap Flights

Alternative Airlines is a flight search and booking site that makes it quick and easy to book flights with more than 600 airlines worldwide. Flying to New York? London? Sydney? Paris? Or somewhere more remote in South America or Africa? It doesn't matter where you're flying to, we have flights at great prices from airlines all over the world. 

More choice per route — and better prices too!

So, what makes Alternative Airlines unique? Well, we use our own industry-leading technology to bring you more flight options that you can't easily find elsewhere online. We combine flights from multiple airlines (even when these airlines do not share an existing partnership agreement) so that you can choose from more flight options per route. In the industry, this is known as Virtual Interlining and means we bring you more choice to get from point A to point B — no matter where these points may be!

Another benefit of our Virtual Interlining technology and the greater choice of flight options that we are able to offer you because of this technology, is that you're also more likely to find cheaper flight options when you search with us.

Book the Quickest Flights

Sometimes, speed is everything. Whether you're flying with a young family or just want more time to enjoy your vacation, we can help you find the quickest flights available.

How do we bring you the quickest flights?

Thanks to our industry-leading technology, we're able to bring you more flight options per route. We combine flights from airlines that would not normally be combined. This is because these airlines do not share a codeshare or interline partnership agreement. However, we use our special (Virtual Interlining) technology to mix and match flights with these different airlines, and therefore offer you more options per route. By mixing flights with multiple carriers, including transfers and connections, we're also more likely to bring you faster flight options.

Tips For Booking Cheap Flights 

Use our cheapest dates calendar

Our cheapest dates calendar is perfect if you can be flexible with your dates of travel. 

When you open our calendar, each date will be coloured from red to green (as demonstrated below). The dates that are coloured in green are the cheapest, whereas the dates that are red are the most expensive.

Using the calendar can save you a lot of time and hassle, as you'll be able to quickly identify and search for flights on the cheapest day of travel.

 

Spread the cost of your flights over time

Spread the cost of your flights over time with one of our Buy Now, Pay Later /finance payment options. Okay, so this won't make the total price of your flights any cheaper, it can definitely make your flights more affordable. Spreading the cost over a fixed number of weekly, bi-weekly or monthly instalments can help you better budget for your travel. We offer lots of Buy Now, Pay Later options, including Klarna, Affirm, Afterpay, Zip and more.
