This week we thought we’d have a look into the Twistr FlightsApp, potentially the ultimate tool for securing the best flight deals if they live up to their claim that it “unlocks the barriers of price discrimination” so we thought we’d take a closer look.
In a nutshell, the app claims to take advantage of regional discounts and general price discrimination. It may come as a surprise to some but the price on your computer screen for a flight will differ depending on where you are and what country you are from. Simply put a New York resident will likely be quoted more than someone sitting in Eastern Europe for exactly the same flight. So does the app actually deliver this?
The app uses advanced algorithms to monitor real-time airfare data, offering users a comprehensive comparison of flight prices across various airlines. Twistr ability to uncover hidden deals and fare discrepancies that other platforms might miss is impressive. We tested this thoroughly and each time it provided cheaper prices to that we could find on your standard flight search engines. So whether you’re a frequent traveller or planning your next big adventure, Twistr Flights actually ensures that you never miss out on the most competitive prices.
With a sleek, user-friendly interface, it simplifies the process of finding and booking flights. It is perfect for savvy travellers and travel agencies alike, helping you cut costs and maximise value. You can easily filter by departure times, layovers, and airline preferences to find options tailored to your needs. For those with flexible travel dates, Twistr’s fare calendar provides insights into the cheapest days to fly, ensuring you get the best deal possible.
As a must-have tool for travel planners, this app empowers users to take control of their travel expenses. With this app, booking affordable flights has never been easier. So it’s a big thumbs up from us! Download Twistr Flights today and start your journey to smarter, cost-effective travel!

After much deliberation, this month I’ve gone with Marrakesh in Morocco as our Bargain Break. So take a look and see if you can be tempted… after all you only live once!
Why Visit?
Visiting Marrakesh in October, November, and December offers a delightful escape with mild temperatures and fewer crowds. The city’s vibrant souks, historic palaces, and stunning gardens come alive in the pleasant weather, making it perfect for exploring. Enjoy warm, sunny days and cool evenings, ideal for sipping mint tea in a rooftop café. The winter months also bring cultural festivals, offering a unique glimpse into Moroccan traditions, cuisine, and music without the intense summer heat.
What to Do?
When visiting Marrakesh, explore the bustling souks of the Medina, where you can shop for handmade crafts, spices, and traditional Moroccan goods. Visit the stunning Bahia Palace and the serene Majorelle Garden for a glimpse of the city’s history and beauty. Don’t miss the lively Jemaa el-Fnaa square for street food, performers, and local culture. Relax in a traditional hammam, savor delicious Moroccan cuisine, and take a day trip to the nearby Atlas Mountains. If you’re interested in an adventure you could even venture down to the Sahara Desert.
Where to Eat?
A bit of an institution and a must do, an evening at Comptoir Darna in Marrakesh offers an unforgettable dining experience that blends exquisite Moroccan and international cuisine with vibrant entertainment. As you enjoy dishes like tagines and grilled meats, the atmosphere comes alive with belly dancers, live music, and a glamorous ambiance. The candle-lit setting and rich decor create a romantic, exotic vibe. After dinner, head to the lounge for cocktails and continue the evening with more music and dancing under the stars.
Where to Stay
We recommend staying in a central riad (think incredibly glamours B&B!) for the traditional, intimate and often chic experience. The quality of riads is very high in Marrakesh, it’s a competitive market so you can shop around, be directed by the review scores and always find a good deal from as little as 60 Euros a night. One of my favourites is a little more expensive but Riad Dar One offers a serene escape within the bustling Medina. This stylish riad combines traditional Moroccan design with modern comforts, featuring elegant rooms, a rooftop terrace, and a plunge pool. Guests enjoy personalised service, creating a cozy, intimate atmosphere perfect for relaxation and cultural immersion.
Alternatively
If you’re looking for something a little more luxurious, relaxing and away from the chaos of the souks then look no further than Kasbah Bab Ourika, which offers a stunning retreat in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, surrounded by breathtaking views of valleys and rivers. This eco-friendly hotel features beautifully designed rooms, a tranquil pool, and delicious farm-to-table dining. Guests enjoy hiking, cultural excursions, and a peaceful escape, perfect for nature lovers and relaxation seekers. The rooms can get expensive but the standard rooms are still lovely and offer great value.
Flights
Much hinges on the flight prices when looking for a bargain break and it was a tough choice this month, so much so, I’ve listed the honourable mentions below at the bottom of this post! But ultimately with return London to Marrakesh flights from £35 in October, £41 in November and £37 in December it’s hard to find better value for an adventure and some winter sun. All prices were taken from Skyscanner so do have a look and if you’re not flying from London you can add your local airport and see if it offers similar value. Please note, if you select “flexible dates” and the month you are looking to travel it will show you an overview for the month enabling you to see the best value flights available.
Honourable Mentions
October: Flights to Lisbon from as little as £39 return, Podgorica (Montenegro) from £39 return and Bucharest from as little as £41 return (all from London). All of which offer lovely warm temperatures at that time of year and then the latter two the beautiful, colourful Autumn fall.
