Typically, we don't like questions regarding "cheapest" planning on the site - see a very old debate here called [The WANTA™ debate (We are not travel agents)][1]. It's also documented in [our on-topic details page][2]: > asking to have your travel itinerary constructed, including flight > scheduling, budgeting and finding accommodation. Such questions cannot > be answered as there are too many variables and personal preferences > to account for, and are unlikely to be of use to others. An actual > travel agent may be of assistance. So a question about cheapest / best on a specific date or time period is off-topic as that's [a "shopping" question][3]. I do agree overall with [this comment from hippietrail above][4], which is a grey area where *some* "cheapest" questions are okay: > I agree any question wanting current absolute cheapest ticket is not > OK for the site. But questions wanting generally cheapest way or route > is OK for the site. Especially when OPs do a decent job of explaining > their criteria.
