HOW TO FIND CHEAP FLIGHTS - My Best Tips After Booking 500+ Flights
finally the video you've all been
waiting for and one that I've been
excited to make how do you save money on
flights it's one of the biggest expenses
when it comes to travel so saving money
on airplanes means taking more trips
after booking upwards of 500 flights
since 2012 I consider myself a wizard at
finding the cheapest rates online in
this four-minute video I'm gonna explain
my best tips tricks and strategies for
finding cheap flights let's start with
some quick hits always booked using an
incognito or private web browser without
this cookies can make flight prices
increase if you search them often the
best and most reliable search engines
are Google flights and kaya I used these
and only these two book I find booking
four to six weeks out to have the best
rates there's no best time of the day to
book flights it's all random I find the
method of booking on a Tuesday to be
false but flying on Tuesdays or on
weekdays is always cheaper avoid
weekends and holidays if possible
booking a round-trip ticket is often
times more expensive than booking
separate legs use flight points on
credit cards to save big I just booked
3000 dollars worth of flights to Africa
for free using my Chase Sapphire reserve
points in general South America Oceania
and Africa are very hard to score cheap
deals compared to Europe Asia and the US
lastly the most important quick tip is
to be flexible all strategies I'm about
to tell you only apply to flexible
travelers if you already know the exact
date and time that you need to fly then
you can close this video and book it
right now since it's unlikely to change
that all being said here are my top 3
strategies for finding cheap flights one
book separate legs in layover cities if
you're already flying somewhere where
there's a transfer then booked two
separate legs and enjoy a short stay in
the city this is also a great way to
break up long travel days and see new
places I've had amazing long layover in
Hong Kong Singapore and London this way
never booked a short layover of under
six hours in case your first flight is
delayed example I want to fly from
Manila to New York City and I see that I
must connect in either Seoul or Tokyo if
I book a budget airline like Cebu
Pacific from Manila to Seoul and then
sold in New York City on Korean air I
will save $800 as opposed to booking
both flights on one reservation and one
airline to utilize budget airlines if
you really want to fly for cheap
it's mandatory to use budget airlines
but many times they don't show up on
major search engines so you have to book
on their individual sites budget
airlines are mostly used in Europe Asia
and Australia and less common in the
Americas in Africa before booking budget
airlines take note that they often have
less legroom no entertainment screens no
Wi-Fi no USB chargers and no free food
or drinks on board including water
always check the location of the airport
as some budget airlines have hubs far
away from major cities like areas as
Airport outside of Kuala Lumpur always
read the fine print on their website to
know their restrictions for baggage
weight and number of bags and don't
forget to print out your ticket in
advance failure to do any of these
things may cost you hundreds of dollars
my favourite budget airlines in Asia and
Australia are Jetstar Seibu Pacific
tigerair
and AirAsia and for Europe its Ryanair
easyJet whizzer and Wow air 3 look for
alternate cities and airports to book
this tip works best for Europe and the
US since so many major cities are close
in proximity instead of looking at the
most convenient Airport to fly out of
check other cities and airports nearby I
just did this in Europe two months ago
I needed to fly from Vienna to Tel Aviv
but I saw the cheapest price was $250
then I found a flight from Budapest to
Tel Aviv for 60 bucks on whizz air so we
decided to add the two hour journey to
Budapest and we saved 190 bucks on the
flight that's like getting paid to visit
Budapest by using these tips I can
guarantee that you will find cheaper
flights in the future as always please
let me know if you have any more tips to
add and if not then get broken
