How to get the lowest fare

Open Google Flights first — see all carriers in one view, then drill down.

Use incognito / private mode. Airline cookies bump prices for repeat searches.

Flex ±2 days each side. Tue / Wed departures from MRU are usually cheapest. Shift to Tue 18 / Thu 20 or return on Wed 9 / Fri 11.

Once you find your price, book direct with the airline. Avoid OTAs — they cause grief if anything changes.

Skip premium economy upsells unless less than +USD 200 each way.

Book this week. Aug–Sep flights are cheapest 8–12 weeks ahead.
