In short

On each route page the bars show the cheapest return price per departure week. Green bars are the cheapest quarter of weeks, orange the dearest quarter. Pick a green week that fits your plans.

Our route pages show a chart like this for each popular route, for example DΓΌsseldorf to Phuket.

The chart

  • Each bar is one departure week.
  • Height is the cheapest return price per person found for that week.
  • Green marks the cheapest quarter of weeks, orange the dearest quarter.
  • The text under the chart names the cheapest and dearest week and the percentage you can save.

How to use it

  1. Look for the green weeks.
  2. Pick the one that fits work, school and visits.
  3. Click the Book now button to check the live price on the booking site.
  4. Set a price alert if the week is a few weeks away.

What the chart does not show

  • Prices for other trip lengths.
  • Baggage and extras.
  • Prices after we measured: they change daily.

Questions

How often is it updated? Our price data is read regularly and the page is rebuilt when new data arrives.

Why are some weeks missing? Not every week has a price on every route.
