Why we use Aviasales — and why it’s better for Smart Travelers
Posted on
Most flight search engines show you a price — but not necessarily the best one.
At AirportMix, we don’t send you to random booking platforms. We send you to Aviasales, because it consistently delivers the best airport combinations, transparent pricing, and the widest selection of flight options.
If you want smarter routes, better deals, and more flexibility across multiple airports, here’s why that matters.
🔍 1. Aviasales is a metasearch engine — not a seller
Unlike websites that sell tickets directly, Aviasales scans hundreds of airlines and agencies and shows you the best possible combinations.
This gives you:
- More choice
- Fairer prices
- Full transparency on who you book with
You stay in control — and often find deals bigger platforms miss.
⚙️ 2. Perfect for multi-airport and mixed routes
AirportMix helps you compare airports within 135 km and find the best combination. Aviasales supports this perfectly thanks to its flexible search logic.
- Handles one-way mixes and multi-city logic
- Finds creative pairings between smaller airports
- Supports our “mix & compare” model better than Google Flights or Skyscanner
Result: smarter routing, lower prices, and more hidden options.
🌍 3. Better international and regional coverage
Flying to or from lesser-known airports like Charleroi, Bergamo, Podgorica, Kutaisi, or Sofia? Aviasales often shows flights that other tools overlook, including:
- regional carriers
- new low-cost routes
- seasonal airlines
This is especially useful if you’re browsing our Popular Routes overview.
💬 4. Real reviews, clear transparency
Aviasales shows ratings for each agency, helping you avoid unreliable sellers. You always know:
- who you’re booking with
- how they are rated by other travelers
- whether there are extra fees
No tricks — just clean, honest information.
🧭 5. Aviasales makes AirportMix more stable and reliable
AirportMix processes a lot of complex airport combinations — especially when comparing routes between multiple large hubs. This can sometimes take a bit longer to load, simply because we check far more options than a standard flight search.
By using Aviasales on the backend, we can offer:
- more accurate results for complex routes
- better availability across many airlines and agencies
- more stable searches, even when checking hundreds of combinations
So even if a search takes a little longer, you get a more complete picture of your options — and often better deals than with “quick search” engines.
🤑 6. Yes, we earn commission — and that’s a good thing
When you book through our link, we earn a small affiliate commission. But:
- 💸 You never pay extra
- 🔍 You still get the lowest available price
- 🙌 You support AirportMix at no cost
This helps us keep improving the site, adding new airport comparisons, and maintaining thousands of flight route pages.
