Does Luxe Tribes Book Flights?
When it comes to our travel packages, international flights to and from your destination are not typically included. However, once you land, we take care of everything else—from accommodations to curated experiences—so you can focus on enjoying the adventure.
That said, some of our multi-destination trips do include internal flights. For example, on our Egypt & Jordan experience, we cover the connecting flight between Egypt and Jordan. If a trip includes any domestic or inter-country flights, it will always be noted in the itinerary.
When Should I Book My Flights?
We recommend booking your flights around 60 days before departure to secure the best rates and avoid last-minute changes. If your itinerary changes after booking, you’ll be responsible for modifying your flights and covering any associated fees.
Our Top Flight Booking Resources
Finding the best flight deals can be overwhelming, but these platforms make it easier:
Kayak – Excellent for overall flight deals and offers advanced filters for preferred airlines, layover duration, and flight times.
Google Flights – A powerful search engine that shows the cheapest flights and allows you to compare prices across multiple dates.
Skyscanner – Great for flexible travelers, providing price alerts and the option to search for the cheapest destinations.
Orbitz – User-friendly, plus you can earn points for future bookings with Orbitz Rewards.
Priceline – Known for Express Deals, where you can book discounted flights without knowing full details (like the airline) until after purchase.
Hopper – Offers price tracking so you can keep up with price predictions and optimize when to purchase
Benefits of Booking Directly with the Airline
While third-party booking sites can help you find deals, booking directly with the airline has some major perks and we always reccomend this as your go to option:
✅ More Flexibility – Airlines usually offer better change, cancellation, and refund policies than third-party sites.
✅ Best Price Guarantee – Often, airlines have the lowest fares available without extra fees. This is especially true if you need to make changes to your trip, you may end up spending hundreds more just to make adjustments if you use third party sites.
✅ Seat and extra baggage selection – Booking directly allows you to select your seat and manage extra add ons immediately instead of paying extra later.
✅ Exclusive Deals – Some airlines, like Southwest, don’t show fares on third-party sites, so checking directly can help you find hidden deals.
Payment plans for flights
If you're looking to book flights but want to spread out the cost, several platforms offer payment plans to make travel more accessible. Airfordable lets you lock in flight prices with a deposit and pay the rest in installments before your trip. Affirm and Klarna also provide "buy now, pay later" options for flights when booking through select airlines and travel agencies. Be sure to check interest rates and terms to find the best option for your budget!
Additional Flight Booking Tips
Set Price Alerts – Tools like Google Flights and Skyscanner notify you when prices drop.
Book Midweek – Flights are often cheaper when booked on a Tuesday or Wednesday.
Use Incognito Mode – Flight prices can increase based on your search history. Searching in private mode can sometimes help.
Consider Alternative Airports – Flying into a nearby city might save you money.
Check Baggage Policies – Some budget airlines have low fares but charge extra for baggage.
