Using Orbitz, you’ll find some of the best flight deals around from a terrific range of airlines. But if you’d like to boost your chances of nabbing cheap flights to Philadelphia, here are some pointers to try out:

  • Depending on where you’re coming from, choose the ‘Nearby airports’ function (located under the departure and arrival options). From time to time, alternative departure points offer better priced fares.
  • If your plans aren’t set in concrete, click on the ‘Show flexible dates’ option to bring up the flight deals for alternative departure dates. You may find a cheaper fare.
  • Select ‘Show options’ to filter your search results. You can choose your preferred seating class and airline here. Under ‘Sort & Filter’ to the left, you can even specify whether you want to fly in the morning, afternoon or evening.
