Heyo! Mitch and Day here 👋🏼
We’re just your typical American-Colombian couple determined to live every second of our precious time here on earth to the fullest. After a 10-month solo backpacking trip through South America, I (Mitch) stopped in Cali, Colombia to take salsa dancing classes 💃🏻. I only planned to stay for a couple weeks, but God had other plans for me. I met a cute Colombian girl (Day) in class, those couple weeks turned into a couple years, and before we knew it...we were married 👰🏻🤵🏼
Now we’re traveling the world full time as digital nomads, supporting ourselves by working online 👨💻👩💻
Our goal with these videos is to inspire you to step outside your comfort zone, give you an inside peek at our crazy imperfect lives, and show you that you don’t have to be rich to live an extraordinary life...all you need to do is make the choice!

Agree about the day of the week. Tuesdays are not always the cheapest. You just have to check every day. Case in point, I just checked for a ticket, and Monday was cheaper than Tuesday.
Two issues I am having with google flights lately. First, the lowest price fares are from third party companies that are not trustworthy or have a bad reputation. The flights published are not flights listed on the airlines website. They seem to be botched together legs. Finally, (three things I guess) the prices change when you actually go to book.
Most of what this man says are correct exept for Business Class early bookings, it's often the opposite, they are often wery cheap wery early to check if there is demand for it, so they want to fill up some of the seats early to enshure themselves that they don't loose money on that route. The other thing he forgot was VPN, for two reasons:
1. Point of sale: An air ticket may be cheaper when booket in one country than another.
2. Some coutries pay no VAT on an airline booking, while in Norway it's 8 percent, so i can take those 8 percent by booking from a no VAT destination.
3. Currency of booking, i have seen about 8 percent difference on witch currency i pay in, so check that.
These three trixs combind can put a ticket prize down 15 percent, an ond a Business Class Ticket where i save 250 USD, that a win, but you need to tweak around with the IP from other coutries, so play around a bit with this :)
That’s a great tip!
In Brazil, weekends are cheaper. The airlines make promotions starting Friday night. This is because business travelers are willing to pay more than tourist travelers. So, flights are more expensive during weekdays, when business people are booking their flights.
This is the reality in Brazil, I'm not saying airlines in other countries do it.
Really helpful
Try clearing your computer "cache" and tracking between searches.
In India, there very poor scenario of buying round trip after covid-19, air ticket charges surged by 60% and also I found in most cases round trip are costly because you are bound to return dates and with already coupled airlines.
I’m not into budget airlines, I don’t like getting nickelled and dimed at every turn and if you have any luggage, they aren’t worth it.
I recently needed to get to Newark to Pittsburgh, with one carry on and one tiny carry on appropriate suitcase. By the time everything was said and done, United was cheaper than the budget carriers.
I want to give a shout out for commuter airlines though! In my experience they are affordable, fast and friendly!
00:17 quite wrong. It depends on companies though, but it's always worth comparing. AFKLM flights in Europe are typically like: if you fly one-way, it costs +/- as much as flying back and forth. Which is quite ridiculous. On the other hand, Wizz, Ryanair, etc. do sell legs independently. If you don't mind the bad conditions and that everything costs extra (soon even having a seat and using the toilets?)
Always good to compare!
Thank you I am searching now for best flights to Spain for October.
What do you suggest for layover time to give me on my way home enough time to go through customs and get to my next flight?
Thank you for all you valuable information.
Tuesdays are the cheapest. Its not close to the weekend, it's also not the start of the week. It's just a random day in the week that isn't ideal in and of itself. Most people would want to arrive on their destination on friday, weekend, or a monday.
I am currently searching for flight in October to Spain.
Prices are a roller coaster.
How long do you suggest that I have for a layover on my way back to give me time to go through customs and get to my next flight?😮
Thank you
Pack light look budget airlines and go to the airport. I booked Spirit ticket from FLL to DTW for $39.50 round trip.
Wow that’s a steal!
@@ProjectUntethered they waive the passenger usage charge which is an online booking fee
On one flight they had a comical choice between meatloaf and mashed potatoes with other good stuff, or some kind of vegetarian pasta with "vegetable medley."
Well of course almost everyone chose the meatloaf so they ran out of that about halfway through the plane and wound up serving the pasta to a lot of people who had ordered meatloaf. Not a happy crowd.
Well I was the person that they ran out on. The first one to get the pasta and veggies who had ordered meatloaf, but because I was very polite about it although I was clearly disappointed, the air hostess, when she found one extra meatloaf dinner that had been overlooked in the warmer (after everyone had been served,) she brought it to me! So I had two meals, which was good because I was really hungry on that flight.
To their credit, no one else complained when I got extra, although there had been plenty of complaints when they received their pasta. But there were a few jealous looks...
That sounds like a pleasant surprise. Just goes to show it pays to be polite!
@@ProjectUntethered My thoughts exactly. It also pays to be polite with Airport security, ticketing agents, gate agents Etc.
Even when you come across that person who gives you trouble, if you're polite to them it makes a huge difference.
My daughter applied this principle one time when she had a canceled flight.
The customer in front of her had really been rude, and had been told there's nothing else we can do and turned away.
Because my daughter was kind and polite to her, and said I know it's not your fault. I just want to figure out what I can do. The agent booked her on a flight that had VERY limited seating and she made her connection...
Happy Travels! ☺🛫
one stupid question maybe... what happens when you find these skiplagging flights with your check-in luggage? OK it's fine, sneaky get out and finish your trip earlier, but what with baggs? or works only with hand luggage? thanks
Many airlines are not charging for the Return on a Round Trip Ticket. What part of Round Trip do they not understand. Also I have run into one part of the flight being fine, but the return flight often has a 32 minute layover on an international flight, which is of course impossible. And Aeromexico used to charge $60 a check in bag Round Trip. That is now $160 each way ($320 round trip) more than your seat cost.
When your favorite airline offers the best days
I scheduled 7 months ahead to do from Dallas to Rome American 🇺🇸 flagship round trip with insurance for 7 tickets 33,000 I think it was cheap cause prices went up as I watch it .
3:42 incognito bs
9:04 Huh? Business travelers are most likely to book at the last minute, not months in advance.
I agree they’re more likely to book last minute. I can’t for the life of me find where I read that stat about them booking in advance. Since I can’t find it, I humbly accept your correction - thanks for calling it out! 😇
@@ProjectUntethered in your defense, if there is a convention or a scheduled conference, etc., they are likely to book far in advance...
That's true, but the more I think about it, the more it doesn't make sense haha. It must just be because of the uncertainty in demand I guess - or airlines trying to make bank on travelers who want to lock in dates for important stuff like honeymoons, etc 🤔
incognito is BS, I book well in advance, before anyone else so the prices/points are very low, you also have to constantly check, everyday if you have to, if they change the flight they usually put you in a better seat. Anyhow that being said, plan strategically, who knows you might even get lucky last minute but you have to check regularly.
I only do first class round trips I like the room and I know I have a flight ✈️
I will never go back to coach and those seats 🤮
3:55 don’t care about the days
Sorry, I can’t answer… I’m incognito.
