Aviasales Review — Worth it for Finding Cheap Flights?

Searching for the lowest airfare can feel like hunting for a needle in a haystack: multiple sites, inconsistent results, baggage fees buried at checkout. Aviasales aims to simplify that hunt by aggregating fares from 2,000+ airlines and booking channels. In this review I test how well Aviasales solves the core problem travelers face: finding the best price quickly and reliably without losing hours to price-tracking spreadsheets or fragmented search engines.

Real-world experience — Pros & Cons

I've used Aviasales for short-haul and long-haul searches across peak and off-peak dates. Below are the practical takeaways from those sessions.

Pros

• Wide coverage: Aggregates fares from many smaller OTA partners that other metasearch engines sometimes miss, which can surface cheaper options for obscure routes.
• Flexible-date calendar: Fast, color-coded calendar that helps spot the cheapest days at a glance—great for flexible travelers.
• Price alerts: Email and app notifications are reliable and useful when tracking a route over weeks.
• Simple UX: Clean layout, intuitive filters, and quick toggles for nonstop vs. connecting flights.
• Mobile usability: The app mirrors the site well; searches and alerts work smoothly on mobile.

Cons

• Booking flow inconsistency: Aviasales often redirects to partner sites or OTAs to complete booking. That means checkout experience, baggage rules, and customer service vary by provider.
• Fare detail clarity: Some price results lack full baggage/fare rule visibility until you reach the booking site, which can lead to surprise fees.
• Customer support opacity: If the booking is through a partner OTA, support must be handled with that third party—not Aviasales—making refunds or changes potentially more complicated.
• Occasional false economy: Very low headline fares sometimes result from restrictive ticket classes (non-refundable, no seat selection, hand-bag-only). You need to read the fare rules carefully.

Example scenario: Searching New York to Lisbon three months out, Aviasales surfaced a sub-$400 round trip on a lesser-known carrier through an OTA. The fare was real and saved money, but the OTA charged a credit card processing fee and had a stricter cancellation policy than the mainstream carrier. Net savings remained good, but the tradeoffs were clear.

Quick comparison

Who is Aviasales Best For?

• Budget-conscious travelers: If you want to surface bargain fares and are willing to accept some OTA booking complexity, Aviasales is a good fit.
• Flexible date travelers: The calendar and fare heatmaps are excellent for people who can shift travel by a few days to save money.
• International route hunters: Routes outside the most-served markets may yield better deals here thanks to wider partner coverage.
• Casual users: The simple interface is friendly for people who don’t want to fuss with advanced filters.

Quick verdict: Aviasales is a solid flight aggregator for deal discovery, but treat the booking redirection as part of the process—read fare rules and vendor terms before finalizing purchase.

Final thoughts & call to action

Aviasales does what a good metasearch should: it brings prices together quickly and highlights date flexibility. It’s especially useful when you’re open on travel dates or chasing routes that mainstream engines sometimes under-index. The main caveat is the variability in the booking step—savings can be real, but you must verify baggage allowances and change/cancellation policies on the partner site before you buy.

If you’re ready to hunt for low fares, Aviasales is worth trying alongside Google Flights or Skyscanner to cross-check results. And note: there are often discount codes or special offers available when booking through my store—check those when you move to purchase to potentially increase your savings.
