Flight Booking Hacks Membership Holders Use Every Time
Wholesale hotel rates through EezyStay save you 15-30% per night. But members who apply these flight booking strategies save even more by cutting airfare costs alongside their hotel savings.
Hack 1: Book Wholesale Flights Through Your Membership First
Before checking Google Flights or Skyscanner, search wholesale flights through EezyStay. Consolidator fares are often 10-25% below published prices, especially on long-haul routes. Start here, then compare to confirm you're getting the best deal.
Hack 2: Flexible Date Searching
Most members know this, but it's worth repeating: shifting your travel dates by 1-3 days can drop wholesale fares by another 15-20%. Wholesale pricing fluctuates less than retail, but the sweet spots are still Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays for departures.
Hack 3: Book One-Way Segments
Two one-way wholesale fares are sometimes cheaper than a round-trip — especially when mixing carriers. EezyStay's flight search supports one-way segments so you can test this on every trip.
Hack 4: Stack With Airline Error Fares and Flash Sales
When airlines publish mistake fares (and they do regularly), the wholesale platform often has them too — sometimes even lower. Combining membership rates with airline sales creates the deepest possible discounts.
Hack 5: Use Points for Flights, Membership for Hotels
If you have airline miles or credit card points, use them for flights and book your hotel through EezyStay at wholesale. This way your points cover the flight and your membership covers the hotel — both at a discount.
Hack 6: Wholesale Flight Prices Are Widest on Premium Cabins
If you've ever considered business or first class, wholesale is where the maths starts working. Premium cabin markups are enormous at retail. Wholesale rates can save $500-2,000 per ticket on long-haul routes.
Hack 7: Book Early for Peak Season, Late for Off-Peak
Wholesale fares on peak-season flights (Christmas, school holidays, Golden Week) are best 3-6 months ahead. For off-peak travel, wait until 3-4 weeks before departure when consolidators release remaining inventory at deeper discounts.
Hack 8: Multi-City Itineraries Save More at Wholesale
Building a multi-stop trip (e.g., London → Bangkok → Bali → Sydney) is where consolidator pricing really shines. Retail sites charge through the nose for complex routings. Wholesale platforms price each segment independently at net rates.
The Bottom Line
Hotel savings through membership are automatic. Flight savings require a bit of strategy. Combine both and your travel budget stretches dramatically further.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best day to book wholesale flights?
Tuesdays and Wednesdays typically show the lowest wholesale fares. Search midweek for the best selection.
Should I book flights or hotels first?
Book flights first when dates are less flexible. Book hotels first when the destination has limited availability. For full wholesale bundles, book both together.
Can I combine wholesale flights with airline miles?
Not on the same ticket. But you can use miles for one leg and book the other at wholesale, or use miles for flights and EezyStay for hotels.
