Scoring cheap flights to Crete is as simple as booking with Orbitz. But if you’d love to make sure you’re getting the best flight deals around, here are some tips your budget will love:

  • Depending on your departure city, click on the ‘Nearby airports’ function (located under the departure and arrival form fields). Oftentimes, other departure points offer more competitive fares.
  • Similarly, click on the ‘Show flexible dates’ link to view the fares on days either side of your chosen departure. You may be able to find cheaper flight deals if your dates are flexible.
  • You can also select the ‘Show options’ function to filter results for your preferred carrier, seating class, nonstop flights and refundable flights. Under ‘Sort & Filter’ to the left, you can even choose the time of day you’d prefer to fly.
  • Reserve your airfare as soon as you’ve sorted your travel dates. While it does happen on occasion, airfares rarely drop in price as your departure date approaches.
  • Make serious savings on your getaway by bundling your flights, hotels and car rental into an Orbitz package deal. Your travel budget will thank you.

What do I need for the flight to Crete?
It’s good to be ready for anything when going on a trip. Keep in mind the following pointers for a smooth flight:

  • You’ll need proof of identification such as your passport. To avoid delays while checking in, make sure you book your flight tickets under the same name as your government-issued ID. It’s good to have digital copies of important documents too, just in case!
  • Bring some extra entertainment for your long trip to Crete. If you’ve had enough of watching that series on your phone, give your eyes a break from all that screen time and listen to some music instead.
  • Cabin temperatures are often chilly enough to give you goose bumps. Pack a hoodie even if you’re traveling during the summertime.

  • Be more flexible with your travel dates and hold out for sales on first or business-class airfares.
  • Low-cost airlines offer business-class seating at affordable prices. Ditch the full-service carriers and check out these cheaper options.
  • Bid for an upgrade. Some carriers hold online auctions that let you offer a price for a seat up the front. You may also be able to upgrade with points earned through a rewards program.
