Aviasales Review —
Is It Worth Using?

Yes — Aviasales is a legitimate, established flight search engine founded in 2007 and trusted by over 100 million travelers globally. It does not sell tickets directly; instead, it redirects users to the booking agency or airline offering the best price. As with any booking, you should verify the agency's reputation before completing a purchase — Aviasales shows agency ratings alongside fares to help you choose reliable partners.

No — Aviasales charges no fees or markups on any fare it displays. The price you see is the price offered by the airline or booking agency. Aviasales earns revenue through affiliate commissions from agencies when travelers click through and complete bookings — but this never adds to the price you pay. It's one of the key reasons Aviasales consistently finds lower fares than booking platforms that layer on their own service fees.

Both are strong tools for flight search, but they serve slightly different purposes. Google Flights has excellent calendar and date flexibility tools, and is deeply integrated with Google's ecosystem. Aviasales typically covers a wider range of booking agencies — including some international agencies Google Flights doesn't index — and its pricing calendar is more visually informative. Our recommendation: search both and compare results for the best outcome on any given route.

Use Kiwi.com when you have flexibility on routes, connections, or airports — and especially when you're looking for hidden city fares or virtual interlining combinations. Aviasales searches fares as offered by airlines; Kiwi builds new route combinations that no single airline offers. For most searches, start with Aviasales to get the best single-carrier fare, then check Kiwi to see if a creative combination is cheaper. Use both together for maximum savings.

Yes. Aviasales is available globally, including full US coverage. The search engine defaults to USD pricing for US travelers and covers all major US domestic and international routes. Its coverage of transatlantic, transpacific, and Latin America routes is particularly strong — and it frequently surfaces fares from agencies and airlines that US-centric tools like Kayak or Expedia don't fully index.
