skyscanner is helpful. If you aren't checking bags and its a short flight, the a la carte airlines can save you money like spirit, frontier, etc. try to fly out on a wednesday if possible, if not try the earliest or latest flight you can. book directly with the airline, they'll give you a better rate than third party brokers. try to book 6 weeks in advance, or at the last minute (risky). get a good travel credit card (find this info on nerdwallet or the points guy). that's all i got right now.

You can also "piggy-back" Look for a flight that has a layover at your destination and get off there.
My wife and I were able to save around $300 doing this during our honeymoon. We found flights from San Antonio to San Francisco that had layovers in San Diego. We just didn't board the the connecting flight after we arrived in SD. Same thing on the way home, we found a flight to Miami that had a layover in San Antonio.
It takes a little extra work when searching flights, but like it saved us quite a bit of doll hairs.

also... you might be able to access a program that's not very well known, depending on your criminal record. if you're 100% clean of any non traffic related blemishes, you can sign up for a program called LowQAIR. It's a TSA program that pays for flights for people as a reward for a clean criminal record. it's meant to promote low risk travelers. Originally it was meant for a low cost way for mentally retarded people to fly for cheap, since in most cases they can't fly alone, however it's since morphed into what it is today. In most cases you can get up to 80% discounted flights, both domestic and international.

Honestly, if you can get all your stuff packed into your personal bag, Spirit is the way to go...they are as cheap as anyone. Have flown them multiple times and never had an issue.
