Algerians from France who were unable to come to the country this summer or wish to make another trip to the country can take advantage of the All Saints’ Day holidays to go there. And if that’s the case, it’s better to go about it in the best way to get the best flight prices.
It is indeed known that during holiday periods, the prices of plane tickets increase considerably.
Travelers wanting the most affordable fares should book their flights weeks or even months in advance, especially if they’re already set on dates and destinations.
Best flight prices: Google Flights launches new service
To do this, Google Flights, the flight comparator of the most used search engine in the world, has set up a new service to facilitate the search for advantageous prices over a pre-established period and itinerary.
For searches with very specific data on trends (dates and destinations), “you will now see when prices were the lowest to book the dates and destination you have chosen,” says the Google Flights product manager.
For example, this information can tell travelers that the cheapest time to book similar trips is usually two months before departure. They can also learn if prices drop frequently as takeoff approaches, and therefore decide whether or not to wait before booking.
Additionally, if the traveler wants to wait for prices to drop before booking, price tracking can do most of the work for them. Simply enable the price tracking option and wait to receive an email when prices change for the selected time period.
“ When you enable price tracking, we automatically notify you if flight prices drop significantly,” says the speaker in an article published at the end of August on the Google blog.
Simulation on Paris – Algiers flights from October 21 to November 6
Concretely, if the traveler has already decided on the date of their trip, they can activate price tracking on the planned date. And if it’s flexible on dates, it can enable price tracking for “ all dates ”.
To better understand the principle of Google Flight, we carried out a simulation on Air Algérie flights departing from Paris to Algiers for the All Saints’ Day holiday period, scheduled from Saturday, October 21, 2023, to Monday, November 6, 2023.
The comparator immediately indicated that “ for the moment, the prices correspond to the usual prices on this route ”. In addition, “ the cheapest flights for similar trips to Algiers are generally in the price range €250 – €550,” it further indicates.

For the period from October 22 to November 5, the comparator indicated that the most advantageous prices from Paris airports to Algiers are around €400 for a round trip with Air Algérie.
It is clear that prices are relatively higher, even with other companies, given that it is a holiday period. However, by activating the price tracking option, the traveler will receive an email as soon as a flight below this price appears on the comparator.
