All download links lead to the Google Play Store listing of the app. Users are always recommended to download apps from Google Play or an authorized app store.
1. Sky scanner
- Price: Free download
- In-App Purchases: No
- Size: 32MB
- Google Play rating: 4.7 stars out of 5
Skyscanner is an extremely popular app. This application has over 50 million downloads and a really high rating on the Play Store. The main purpose of the app is to find you the cheapest flight or at least the best deal for you. The app highlights the cheapest flight, cheapest direct flight, etc. It ensures how many stops are there (if any) just so you can make the best call.
The interface is excellent and of course there are some additional options. You can search by flight duration, airline, number of stops, travel class, departure and arrival time. Skyscanner can also help you find hotels and car rental deals around the world. So it’s an all-in-one app with a really nice looking interface, and the app works really well too. It is without a doubt one of the best apps from this list.
2. Skipped
- Price: Free download
- In-App Purchases: No
- Size: 55MB
- Google Play rating: 4.7 stars out of 5
Skiplagged has the same rating as Skyscanner but is slightly different and not as popular. This app has been downloaded over 1 million times, but it’s not that popular because many people don’t know about it yet. It offers excellent functionality and once you’ve tried it, you’ll probably stick with it. In fact, the app description says, “We’re so good, United Airlines even sued us for it!”
This app can help you find hidden city flights. What is that? Well, it’s a flight where you disembark at the stopover rather than the final destination. You can actually save a lot of money this way. You can find more details about this in the description of the app in the Play Store. You can also easily book hotels through this application and also get some special offers.
3. Funnel
- Price: Free download
- In-App Purchases: No
- Size: 46MB
- Google Play Rating: 3.8 stars out of 5
Hopper is another very popular app, although it doesn’t have the best reviews lately. People complain that prices go down after buying a ticket and so on. All of this resulted in the app’s rating dropping to 3.8 stars. That being said, Hopper has proven useful in a number of situations. Those of you who have used it and had good experiences will attest to this. It can be a really useful app that can save you quite a bit of money.
This app also tries to be an all-in-one solution. Not only will it help you get great deals on airline tickets, but the same goes for hotels and car rentals. The app features the major airlines in the US, Canada and around the world. It can even alert you when is the best time to buy to get the best possible price. You can book everything directly from the app itself, which adds extra convenience.
4. KAYAK

KAYAK is another popular app for booking flights, hotels and car rentals. It’s used by a lot of people, and for good reason. It offers similar features to Hopper, but it’s definitely not the same. The UI looks really nice and the app works great. This app searches hundreds of travel sites to help you find the best possible accommodation and flight there.
A number of filters are available here, as are sorting options. The app compares flight offers from over 900 websites. You can basically sort your entire journey through this application and get started. In addition, it can also help you save money. KAYAK is at least worth a visit.
5. FareFirst

- In-App Purchases: No
- Size: 7MB
- Google Play Rating: 4.6 stars out of 5
FareFirst is another app that tries to find you the cheapest flight or the one that suits you best. That is its main purpose, but not the only one. It can easily book only hotel rooms for you. The app has a real-time flight tracking feature, so you’ll always be up-to-date on your itinerary. It can search over 500 travel websites for you to give you the best possible deal.

It can help you get the lowest fares on trains, buses and plane tickets. You can also set up price alerts for a selected route so you don’t miss any price drops. It can also save you money by discovering stopovers.
The app also offers a so-called “NOMAD” mode. It can basically find the cheapest and most efficient itinerary for a longer trip. This is great if you’re planning a trip that will last at least several weeks and you plan on moving between locations frequently. The Kiwi app is modern and simple while working really well.

- Price: Free download
- In-App Purchases: No

- Google Play Rating: 4.8 stars out of 5
Traveldealo is one of the top rated apps on the list, but not as popular as most. Despite this, this app has over 10,000 downloads and is actually quite competent. Similar to other apps we’ve talked about, this one can help you find cheap flights. It compares prices from hundreds of flight booking agencies and websites. It also allows you to book them once you’ve found the right one.
It compares prices from travel providers like Hopper, KAYAK, Skyscanner, Skiplagged, Kiwi, and various others that we didn’t talk about this time.

SkyFly may not be as popular as KAYAK, Kiwi, or some of the other services from the list, but it’s still pretty compelling. First and foremost, the SkyFly app looks very clean and minimalist, it’s one of my favorite designs out of all the apps on the list. Apart from that, this app can also help you find the cheapest flights and the best hotel booking deals. It also has a real-time tracking feature for cheap flights so you can stay up to date.
SkyFly searches over 500 travel sites to find you the best deals. These include Momondo, KAYAK, Kiwi and many others. It also searches various popular airlines to find the best flights, airlines around the world. Of course, you have different filter options here and some other features.
10. Discount

At the time of writing this article, Discount was the top-rated app on this list. It currently has a 4.9-star rating, although it’s also the least downloaded app on the list. It has been downloaded over 500 times and rated by over 130 people. Still, this is a great app. The app itself looks great and is very functional. Functionality is generally similar to other apps.
Note, however, that this app focuses solely on flights, so nothing else will bother you. It searches and compares airline tickets for you, trying to suggest the cheapest and best ones.
