During my weekly walk and catch up with friends, aka the WINOE’s (Women in Need of Entertainment), we decided that travel is a big priority for our impending ‘golden years’. None of us are getting any younger and the majority of us are either retired or semi-retired from full-time employment so we are fairly flexible with our time and we have fewer family commitments.
We recently made an unanimous decision to search for any bargain holiday deals for a girl’s getaway and take advantage of it if something appealing came along. When I get wind of the possibility of travel I instantly feel exhilaration. Travel and the chance to visit new and exotic places is what I love most in the world.
So I tell the girls, “I have just heard about this great flight booking website called I Want That Flight. How it works, is that you enter the destination of where you would like to travel to and the website searches for all possible flights with both airlines and travel agencies. But the best thing is that if you are flexible with dates you can sign up for a travel alert and wait until the cheapest air fares become available”.
I Want That Flight Home Page
Some of us are subscribed directly to one of the airlines and get emailed specials on a regular basis, but not to one website that compares every airline. Some websites like Webjet or Expedia already do an air fare comparison, but they charge fees, unlike this new website. We agreed that I Want That Flight is definitely going to be the tool we need to get us on that bargain holiday in the near future.
You can do a basic search from I Want That Flight’s home page and it will bring up all options for either domestic or international flights for specific dates, or if you are flexible with dates it will search for the cheapest flights. It then takes you directly to the airline’s booking page to book the flight.

As well as basic search from the homepage, there are pages specially set up to help find you the cheapest flights, based on how flexible your travel dates are. For example if I chose Bali as my destination:

Also it shows when the cheapest months are to fly:
Monthly Average Prices for Return Airfares to Denpasar/Bali

| Perth to Denpasar/Bali | $1148 | $897 | $978 | $1109 | $1103 | $874 |
| Melbourne to Denpasar/Bali | $1146 | $872 | $853 | $942 | $846 | $872 |
| Sydney to Denpasar/Bali | $1102 | $903 | $971 | $950 | $801 | $861 |

| Cairns to Denpasar/Bali | $1579 | $1121 | $1230 | $1432 | $1572 | $1016 |
Or you can check out the best priced air fares for all popular travel destinations and then choose where you want to go! Which is probably what we will do.
Another money saving option is to sign up to I Want That Flight’s daily cheap flights email. The email will inform you of the latest deals so that you can get in quick before prices take off again.

I Want That Flight is certainly the way to go for the budget conscience and anyone who does not like paying extra fees. I know I am definitely sold and will be using this as my go to flight booking website from now on.

Kathy

July 12, 2018What a great idea. I’ll be ducking over for a look – and for alerts for Bali next May.
Kathy
July 12, 2018You and me both Jo. We’ll be looking for a little holiday to Bali once we’ve sold our house.
Nikki @ Wonderfully Women
July 12, 2018I want all the flights, especially if Bali is involved! 😊
Kathy
July 12, 2018Yes Bali is definitely high on my travel radar too! #TeamLovinLife

July 12, 2018Terrific idea, Kathy and I’m definitely signing up. I love the idea that you and your friends have come up with about booking a getaway. Thinking about travel is so exciting and once you book well the excitement just keeps building. Love the name WINOE’s – perfect! Thanks for the info and have a great week!
Kathy
July 12, 2018We are maybe looking a trip to Bali at the moment, but getting a group of 6 ladies to commit to a date is rather difficult! I can highly recommend this flight booking website. I have been using it for ages and it’s the best. #TeamLovinLife
Jodie

Kathy
July 12, 2018You won’t be disappointed Natalie. It’s a very user-friendly flight comparison and booking website. #TeamLovinLife
Jan Wild
July 12, 2018Yes I am signed up too. It breaks my heart every time I get an alert because we aren’t travelling this year, but one can always dream.
Kathy
July 12, 2018You and me both Jan! We’re not making too many travel plans at the moment which is killing me also. #TeamLovinLife

July 12, 2018I’m sure we will. Last time we went to Krabi, Thailand, so who knows where we’ll end up this time. That’s the beauty of this website – it gives you the best deals to anywhere in the world. #TeamLovinLife
Deborah
July 12, 2018It’s a great idea. I love sites that offer you a chance to shop around and make comparisons.
I’m not as enamoured with travel though I guess, as you know. The thing I’m excited about re retirement is just not having to work!
Kathy
July 12, 2018Not having to work is not what it’s cracked up to be Deb. You still need to substitute some sort of stimuli in lieu of work. I’m hoping to keep working part-time for a while yet. This flight comparison website is one of the best ones I’ve encountered.
Christine
July 12, 2018This is one I haven’t heard of. I do love these sites which make holiday planning so easy.
Kathy
July 12, 2018Yes this particular website is very good. I can highly recommend it. #TeamLovinLife

July 18, 2018WINOE’s. LOL!! I want that flight to London. I’ve not been there yet and can’t wait to hop from there to Paris to Greece and beyond.
Will bookmark this post. #teamlovinlife
Kathy
July 18, 2018Well we are women in need of entertainment and we all like wine!!! I think a flight to London would be fantastic. I’m yet to discover a lot of Europe and hope to remedy this soon.
