SKYSCANNER - BUSCANDO LOS VUELOS A NUEVA YORK
Jun 10, 2015- SKYSCANNER - SEARCHING THE FLIGHTS TO NYC -
Hola a tod@s! En este post vamos a dar algunos consejos para buscar las mejores ofertas de vuelos y usaremos a modo de ejemplo nuestro siguiente viaje a Nueva York, del que ya os contamos algunas cosas interesantes para hacer allí. Para buscar las distintas posibilidades y los precios de los vuelos, últimamente usamos Skyscanner, así que este post se puede considerar como una especie de tutorial informal sobre cómo usamos esta web (o su correspondiente aplicación para móviles). Skyscanner es un buscador que incluye tanto los precios de las compañías aéreas como de otras agencias online (como eDreams, Expedia o Rumbo). Por lo que una vez que seleccionas un vuelo, te redirecciona a una de estas compañías para comprarlo. Hay que tener en cuenta que los precios que muestra Skyscanner puede que no sean los definitivos, ya que las compañías pueden incluir algunos gastos extras o que la oferta mostrada no esté ya disponible.
Hi guys! In this post we will give you some tips for finding the best flight tickets deals, using as example our next flight to New York (we already described some of the special activities to do there) . To search the flights possibilities and prices, lately we use Skyscanner, so this post can be seen as a kind of informal tutorial of how we use this website (or its corresponding mobile application). Skyscanner is a searcher which includes prices of both the flight companies and the different online flight agencies (such as eDreams, Expedia o Rumbo). So, you will be redirected to them after you select a specific flight in your search. It is important to note that sometimes the prices shown in Skyscanner are not definitive, since the companies may add extra fees or the offer could be not valid anymore when it is selected.

Skyscanner tiene un modo gráfico muy bueno para mostrar los precios de un vuelo a lo largo de un mes, lo cual es muy útil si tus fechas para el viaje son flexibles. Se pueden hacer diferentes combinaciones de días y escoger la más económica. También se pueden filtrar los resultados disminuyendo el número de escalas o el tiempo total del vuelo para disminuir las esperas muy largas. Ten mucho cuidado con esto, pues a veces los mejores precios corresponden con los peores vuelos que tienen mucho tiempo en escalas, así que puedes ahorrar dinero pero perder tiempo! En nuestro caso, encontramos dos ofertas buenos con vuelos directos de Malaga a Nueva York. Pero como solemos hacer y recomendamos, intentamos buscar los mismos vuelos en las webs de las compañías aéreas que operan el vuelo (en este caso Delta Airlines, Air Europa o KLM ) y la tarifa regular de ese vuelo rondaba los 1000€ a través de las compañías, en cambio la ofertas de Skyscanner estaban a 650€!!!
Skyscanner has a good graphical way to show the prices of a certain flight along a month, which is very useful if your dates are flexible. You can do different combinations and select the cheapest. Also you can filter the results by reducing the stops and the waiting hours. Take very care on this, because sometimes good prices are with bad stops (like many hours between flights), and you save money but spend time! In our case, we found two big deals of direct flights from Malaga to New York in our dates. As we use to do and we recommend, we tried to search the same flight at the websites of the companies which operate the flight (as Delta Airlines, Air Europa or KLM) and the price was always around 1000€, instead of the offers that we found in Skyscanner, around 650€!!!

De todos modos decidimos esperar un poco para ver si los precios variaban en los siguientes días. Esto también lo recomendamos si la fecha para el vuelo no es muy cercana (más de un mes). También se dice que normalmente los precios suelen bajar si miras los vuelos los Martes o los Miércoles por la noche o que algunos meses como Enero son buenos para comprar viajes futuros. Pero esta vez, una de las dos ofertas desapareció muy rápido, así que nos dimos prisa por comprar la otra antes de que se desapareciera también, el precio era similar y era de eDreams. En este caso ni nos dio tiempo a consultar los precios a una de las agencias de viajes más baratas que nos gusta mucho, Simartour, que en muchos vuelos te pueden reducir el 5% o 10% del precio que aparece en Skyscanner. Los conocemos desde hace bastante tiempo porque leímos sobre ellos en un foro de viajes muy bueno, Los Viajeros. Hablaremos sobre ambos en post futuros.
Anyway, we decided to wait a little to observe the fluctuation of prices during several days. If your flight dates are no so close (more than one month), we also recommend to do this. Also it is said that the prices use to go down if you search during Tuesday or Wednesday by the night, or that some months are good to buy, as January. But this time, one of the offers disappeared very soon, so we react quickly and we bought the other offer (both with similar prices), which was at the eDreams webpage. In this case, we even didn't have time to ask for the price one of the cheapest travel agency we know, Simartour, which in many flights they can reduce in 5% o 10% the prices appearing in Skyscanner. We knew it long time ago because we read about it in an excellent Spanish forum about travels, Los Viajeros. We will talk about both in future posts.

En resumen, esta es nuestra sugerencia: si ves que un precio es suficientemente bueno (y lo puedes pagar), los precios normales de las compañías son mucho más altos y no hay muchas otras ofertas, cómpralo!! No lo pienses más, no esperes, cuanto te podrías ahorrar si la oferta baja? 50€? Pero que nos hubiera ocurrido si la otra oferta hubiera desparecido también? En este caso hubiéramos perdido 350€ x2!!! Para no hacer este post demasiado largo vamos a parar aquí y si en el futuro usamos otras opciones de Skyscanner las escribiremos en otro post y lo referenciaremos desde aquí. Esperamos que todo esto os sea de utilidad!! A qué estás esperando? Entra en Skyscanner y a por tu próximo vuelo!! Y recordad, que si queréis estar al tanto de nuestras siguientes publicaciones podéis entrat en nuestro facebook y darle a Me Gusta. Bss!
In summary, this our recommendation: if you feel one price is fair (and you can afford it), the regular prices are much higher and there are not many offers left, buy it!! Don't think more, don't wait, how much would you save if the offer downs? 50€? But what about if the offer is gone? In this case, we would have lost 350€ x 2!!!! In order to no doing this post longer and longer, we are going to stop here, and if in the future we use other Skyscanner facilities we will put in other post and we will reference it from here. We hope all this explanations will be useful for you!! What are you waiting for? Go Skycanner and search your next flight!!
