I use several apps for finding the best deal. Besides Skyscanner (which I find often has wrong prices but is nonetheless useful), I use Hipmunk, Kayak, and OnTheFly. Each of them has their pros and cons. Consider being flexible. For example, right now there are good deals on flights from Boston to Tel Aviv. If you’re in the NYC area, it’s relatively easy and cheap to get to Boston especially since Logan Airport is easily accessible by subway. There’s also hidden city ticketing. We recently booked JFK-TLV-BOS. The return trip was TLV-EWR-BOS, and since we live in the NYC area, we simply got off at EWR and went home. This saved us a considerable sum. We’ve done similar stuff with flights from DC to Israel.
