Guide to cheapest return flights in 2025

Congrats, you’ve made it to the second quarter of the year. If you’re anything like me, making it to April deserves its own celebration – you don’t have to wait till you’ve made it to the end of the year to justify a weekend getaway.

The best part about not waiting for the holiday season to roll around is having more wallet-friendly flight options to make your trip extra shiok. We did a tiny investigation to source for return flights under $150 in 2025, so get your passport ready.

Note: prices indicated in this article are correct as of 14th April 2025, and are subject to fluctuations.

When is the best time to fly?

The general rule of thumb is to avoid Fridays, since it’s a popular choice for those hoping for a long weekend. It’s recommended to travel midweek for the best prices, but take this with a pinch of salt since flight prices tend to be volatile.

A better game plan is to avoid holiday seasons and stay updated on flight discounts. Peak travel seasons are usually June to August, and November to January. Make use of online resources like Skyscanner and Google Flights to have a quick look at price comparisons.

For a more in-depth analysis, use Google Flights’ price graph feature, which monitors historical price fluctuation trends, giving you a better idea of when to hit the purchase button.

All in all, don’t count on the airplane gods to take pity on you when you whip out your credit card a week before your trip. Plan early to avoid less-than-ideal prices.
