How this comparison works

Where the prices come from

Fares come from Travelpayouts, the data partner of the Aviasales flight search. They are prices that travellers recently found on Aviasales, stored for a short time — not a live query to every airline at the moment you search.

That is why a fare can be slightly different, or gone, when you open it. The price you see here is a strong guide to what a route costs; the price on the booking page is the one that counts. Prices are shown in the currency you choose at the top of the page, as our fare source returns them — we do not convert them ourselves.

Why a fare may be a few days from your date

The fare data cannot answer an exact pair of dates reliably, so Wingora asks for the whole month and then keeps the fares closest to the day you chose — within 3 days where it can, widening to 7 and then 14 only when a route is thin. For a round trip it also keeps the trip length close to yours.

Every card shows its own date and says either "Your date" or how many days away it is. The booking link always uses the date on the card, never a different one.

How results are ordered

Results are sorted cheapest first unless you choose otherwise. "Best overall" is a formula, not an opinion: 60% price, 30% journey time and 10% number of stops, each scored against the other fares in the same search, so the cheapest, quickest and most direct fare in the list each score full marks on their part.

Filters never reset your sort — change one and the list re-sorts the way you asked. Nobody can pay to be ranked higher.

Times and time zones

Both times on a card are local to their airport and carry that airport's offset, worked out for the actual day of travel so daylight saving is right. The fare data gives a departure time and a journey length but no arrival time, so arrival is calculated from the two.

If an airport's time zone cannot be worked out, the card leaves the label off rather than guessing.

What happens when you press Select

Select opens Aviasales in a new tab, already searching the route, dates and number of travellers on that card. Each card names the agency that offered the fare and the site the link opens — for example "Kiwi.com via Aviasales". You book with them, not with Wingora: Wingora never holds a booking or sees your payment details.

How Wingora earns

If you book after following a Wingora link, Wingora may receive a commission from Aviasales. It costs you nothing extra, and it plays no part in how results are ordered — the formula above is the whole of it.
