How do I find the cheapest flights with flexible dates?
Flexible dates show flight deals up to 3 days before and after your selected departure and return dates. You can also broaden your search with flexible weekend or month options to find the cheapest prices that still work for your plans.
This works for both one-way and return searches. Keep in mind that not all providers support flexible date searches, so you may see different results compared to exact-date searches.
