How to read these numbers
- Recorded, then dated. Fares are the cheapest one-way fares the seller's search engine (Aviasales) had recorded per day; hotel prices are what the seller quoted for one measured stay. Each block says when it was measured. A day with no recorded fare is not a day without flights.
- Search for your dates. Every link opens a live search on Bookallo for the route or city — the price you book is the seller's price at that moment.
- Free to use. Bookallo adds no fee. We may earn a commission from the seller when you book through our links, at no extra cost to you.
