❓ FAQ

How is maxItems applied? Separately to every origin and destination pair. Two origins and three destinations with maxItems: 20 can return up to 120 flights.

Can I use city names? Yes. Use an airport code (JFK), a city code (NYC), several airports separated by commas (JFK,EWR) or a name like Dubai. Names that cannot be found are skipped with a warning and the other searches continue.

Which currency are prices in? US dollars. Prices are per person.

How far ahead can I search? Cheapflights only shows trips that start and finish within one year of today. Searches outside that range are skipped with a warning.

What if a route has fewer flights than maxItems? You get every flight available for it.

Do I need a proxy? Not by default. If your runs are blocked, enable a residential proxy in the proxy settings.
