Best Flight Deals: This article describes a process for getting the cheapest airfare every time.
Isn’t it time you broke up with your Travel Agent and bag the Best Flight Deals every time you book?
If you have been following us, you might have read my story of how I used to day dream lots as a child. Dream of faraway lands and how I would fly in this huge plane to get there, like a princess. I envisioned my life today, you can read about it here.
But, we are talking the best flight deals here. This is because lots of people do ask us;
“How do you guys afford taking all those trips and flights? Must cost a fortune…! Err not really! Not if it is a part of your life priorities. For most people, travel isn’t a priority, not even close, so they do not budget for it. We definitely believe it is a priority. Because believe it or not, you can fly internationally at incredibly low prices; if you know where to look!”
Well, we individually and as a family have been to no less than 54 countries and counting.
The thing is in almost all these trips, we have made sure to get the best flight deals for our budget. We grabbed ourselves a steal when we had our Dream Vacation to Punta Cana for 10 days. Seriously paying retail and full price is for amateurs and you our dear reader ain’t no amateur, right!
We are sure we aren’t the only ones looking to see more of this beautiful planet. And get a real great feeling when we get the best deal on flights and accommodation.

Hopper is a brilliant phone app. It scans data from billions of flights and alerts you when it’s the best time to book yours. Here is what we do, esp. if we aren’t fussy about travel dates:
We check out Bookings, then we compare with Kayak or skyscanner. Then we pop same dates in our Hopper app and set an alert to ensure we book when tickets are at their lowest…Sweet or what! Hopper shows you what a flight should cost and what you are paying!

I didn’t realise Costco had a hand in travel. We get groceries when we go and household items but I didn’t realise I could get a holiday booked through them.
yes you can book even more value Cruises via Costco Melanie 🙂
your article is quite of an eye opener. is true I don’t prioritize travel even if we love to travel, I will do a more conscious effort towards it
Hey Denni,
I’m glad you like it and I really hope that you can enjoy some more travel 🙂
I need to look into Costco as I’ve never been on a cruise before. I need to stop by travel booth next time I’m there vs. just rushing off to buy my items!
Well there ya go, you will be pleasantly surprised Autumn enjoy! 🙂
Very useful info. I have not used any of the apps/websites you suggested in this post.
Go give them a test drive and share with us your results Brian 😉 enjoy
Good reminder about Costco. I haven’t tried their travel, but it often seems like they have good deals.
yes Costco deals, not many people even consider them 😉
I also love cheap flights and this is the reaso why I cam travel often. Good thing your have this awesome ideas and tips. Definitely a big held to find the cheapest rates
Hello Jona,
welcome to our world and glad you got some value too 🙂
Wow! That’s amazing! I can’t imagine.. 54 countries. And thanks for all the tips, I’d be definitely be needing that for planning a new trip.
Yes ELiza, we love travel 🙂 And glad you got some tips too for your next hiatus 😉
I spend most of my time in the Bush of Alaska where it costs between $800 and $900 round trip just to get Anchorage. Its had to find anything cheaper than that so I’m hoping in a couple years when my circumstances change, I will be able to take advantage of these great buys.
I try to find the low fairs but starting out in the bush of Alaska where it costs $800 to $900 per round trip as far as Anchorage makes travel kind of expensive. So what I do is check out the airlines that travel to see if their flight is worth it. Unfortunately, I work a regular job so I can’t take off when I find those bargains but in a while, I will have a change of circumstances and I may just be able to take advantage of these good deals.
Wow Lee,
What are you up to in the bushes of Alaska? I hope its all fun and games 🙂 You will find those bargains when you get back to city living. And hopefully we will have added even more resources to the post! 🙂
Wow! You are awesome! 54 countries! That’s amazing! We would like that for our kids and we are still building up our budget for the next international trip. We do get discounts, it’s just that our budget is not that much with two growing kids. But when we prosper, I know that travel will be among the top things we will be doing.
We are about to hit 58 this year Sigrid. We love travel and its our treat for any celebration 🙂
Glad you got some value as well, we have grown up with our children traveling and showing them the world. It actually gets tighter as they grow older with bigger needs. Most parents with young children dont get it, that that is the best time to travel with them!
I absolutely LOVE this! Sometimes I think I’m too lazy to do the research because I don’t know where to even begin. This helps SOOOO much especially since we’re planning on doing some traveling this Summer! Yay!
Thats the problem with most f us Carlyn. we just dont know where to begin so we go for the obvious…which is almost always dearer 🙂
Awwwe I love these ideas! Being able to have deals while traveling is the best! Thanks for sharing
You are welcome Hannah, glad you found some value 🙂
Wow thank you for your tips! I’m about to start planning my mom’s birthday trip and im definitely going to check out these apps especially Hopper.
Help yourself Jennifer and Happy birthday to your mom. Hope she enjoys the day and beyond! 🙂

Hey Daisy,

This is truly awesome. Great resource for frequent travelers. Amazing!
Glad you got value Ron 🙂
Trying to find the best deals makes travel possible. No one wants to spend a ton before arriving at their destination, so I’m always on the hunt. Need to try Costco. Can’t believe I’ve never tried that!
Indeed heather,
No one loves to spend a ton, even if you have a ton to spend, but we love to feel like we have INVESTED and will get a ROI and so we must find the best deal for our investment 🙂
Such a great lists of resources and I think it is time for me to install that app to check those affordable flights. Thank you for sharing this with us it is very useful.
Go on then Rose, install the apps and enjoy better Flight deals all year long 😉
Those are awesome resources especially for people who would like to travel but are limited to a budget. I think looking for deals like this and using apps would help so much.
Thats the thing Alison, the reason we share. So others can find better deals 🙂

I don’t fly anymore but I have friends who do fly on occasion and super often. Will have to share these secret places to find the best flight deals with them so they can save money next time 😉
Hello Brandy,
Aww sorry to hear you dont fly anymore. Is it health related? Thanks for sharing with your friend 🙂
This post is everything!! I fly often and I never find good deals and always wonder how my friends score such good ticket prices. I am going to try some of these out. I have actually heard about the Hopper app and heard it was successful. Thanks for saving me money!
Go for it Cassie and keep us posted of your results. We love a wee testimonial 🙂
I am going to share this with a friend she is always traveling and always on the search for a good deal. Love the variety of ideas you share to help find the best deal on flights!
You are a good friend Kathy and your friend will love you even more 🙂
I really need to try Hopper. I am always afraid that I will end up paying more for the same exact tickets because the airline put the price up and down!
Its all about knowing how much you are willing to pay and then be happy when you get it within that price and forget all prices and offers thereafter or you will be frustrated!
Looks like Hopper app is just what I am looking for. Being a frequent traveller I can’t believe I never know about this app before!! Thanks for the tips!
Hi Macy,
The hopper app is a great lil tool, you’ll love it!
Thank you so much for sharing your information… When making a flight I just want quick reference to where I know I can get the best deal. I do not wish to spend all day checking everything on the internet for one ticket. I will keep your suggestions on file for next time I purchase a ticket.
Hi Stacy,
For us its worth an extra 20 minutes search to get the best deal. esp. if that deal would save us £50+ Thats a good meal or a nice memento!
Ah, the only reason for my internet use tonight was to check prices to see if I could possibly attend a dear friend’s funeral..this article was just what I needed thanks!
So sorry for your loss Kash. May yor friend’s soul RIP. And thanks for your support inspite of your loss.
Julie, your post is most timely as my life is at the point that maybe it is time to pack my bags more often and take off. Thank you so much.
I urge you my sister Claudette not to wait any moment longer. Life is for the living and you my dar are ALIVE! 🙂 GO

Hey Karlyn, Glad you got value and Thanks for sharing. Much appreciated. 🙂
This is such a helpful list. I usually use Kayak, but I’m going to give these others a try as well. I prefer to save my travel money for my destination and not have to spend it all on my flight.
Hey Cindy,
You will never get the best deal from Kayak…they to work on commission basis. You can use it for Comparison purposes though. 🙂
My husband and I love traveling and we often save for it but it’s always a joy to find good flight deals! I definitely should check these out. It’s good to be updated with the latest deals on airlines.

Some great tips on securing cheap flights, always a good way to maximise one’s holiday budget! We also keep in top of our chosen air miles scheme, make sure it’s the right one, sign up for any special offers that come with free miles but no cost, use the credit cards that earn us extra… This is another way we travel cheaply from time to time!
Hey Kavey,
Thanks for your contributions and insights, Yes Credit Cards can be a great way to get some mileage out of your travel. Altoght we kind of stay away from them in case we forget to cancel and incur penalties. 🙂
I love the checklist for traveling with kids! We always try to use travel time for homework, we have a 7 year old…so there’s always homework.
