If you’re looking to save money of plan a trip but want the flexibility to check lots of flights, dates, and destinations, you have tons of options. We asked you for the best last week, then rounded up the five best travel booking sites, and now we’re back to highlight your overall favorite pick when it comes to booking travel.
The top spot goes to Google Flights by a pretty wide margin: close to 47% of the votes cast. Perhaps because it’s a Google product, maybe because it’s semi minimalist and easy to use, and maybe because it also ties neatly in with other Google services like Google Now, you praised it for its great interface, its flight search engine, and speedy results.
Second place went to Skyscanner, with over 21% of the votes cast. Third place went to hometown favorite Hipmunk, which pulled in 13% of the overall vote thanks to its stellar design, custom “agony” filter that’ll show you exactly how difficult a trip you’ll have if you book a specific ticket, and its flexible booking options, not to mention its support for hotels and other amenities near your destination. In fourth place with 13% of the vote was ITA Matrix, the search engine that shone so brightly that Google bought it and incorporated its technology into Google Flights. Pros still prefer ITA Matrix though, thanks to all of its bells and whistles specifically useful for veteran travelers. Bringing up the rear with 6% of the overall vote was Skiplagged, a service that aims to get you great prices on trips by booking you short stops—as in you get off as layovers instead of paying for direct flights. It comes with compromises, but it can save you some cash.
