    There are some exceptions to the "Don't Fly on a Holiday" rule. In the U.S., The day before Thanksgiving is one of (if not, the) busiest travel days of the year, but Thanksgiving day itself sees very little traffic, since most people spend that day with their families. Because of this, when I wanted to start my Christmas vacation in Europe last year, I found the best NYC➡️London deal to be on Thanksgiving day itself.

    I thought I was pretty good at finding flights, but now I have seen this video and I see the difference. I am excited to try several one way flights for December. For example, I was looking at flight in my area to Miami, and then I realized it was about $90 cheaper each way to book to Fort Lauderdale which is only 30 minute North. Oh, and flights to San Francisco are expensive from here, but a one way flight to Vegas is way cheaper, direct, and I could add the flight to San Francisco for $30 from Vegas. Thank you so much Drew! I think I may be older than you, but I want to be like you when I grow up.

They just sent me a $550 south usa or california/chicago to India round trip 400-500$. Most europe or asia flights outta NY can be done for $550 or less often less if you wait for their promo deals and act very fast

Thanks for touching on the topic of booking on Tuesday, when I hear people say that it kinda makes me cringe because its so not true. But like you said flying on a Tuesday or Wednesday are typically cheaper. But I def agree with you about being flexible. I say that on my blog ALLLLLLL the time. Thanks for this Drew I loved it! Especially the layover city/one leg tip. Thanks so much!

    If you want a cheap airline tickets go directly to airline website and book from there directly it's much cheaper plus booking from booking website has some disadvantages and charges. If you buy a ticket not directly from the airline ticket, some booking website they don't allow cancellation or refund, also they charge you fee for booking from their website $20-50. Because there are so many airlines you don't know which one is the cheapest. First go to booking website and search for your date preference tickets and then whatever 3 airline gives you the cheapest then go to that airlines website directly and book from there to find the cheapest ticket. I do this a lot for international flights. Also after done searching and if you want to search again make sure to clear cookies from your computer and close the internet and open and search again.

    Have you tried the "using a VPN to make the engine think that you are buying from a low-income country and make prices drop" trick? I've heard about it and I tried it just once (I think I set it to either India or Nigeria but not 100% sure) and I didn't notice any significant difference. I have even heard that the price will increase if you search from a Mac instead of a windows computer because the algorythm knows that people with Macs tend to have more money but I find that hard to believe (haven't tested it though)

    I’m trying to visit my girlfriend that’s studying abroad in monterey California I have little to no money but I really want to go, we haven’t seen each other in a while and this would make her year so much better. I’ve looked at some flights and the cheapest I’ve found is 550€ to just go there. I live in Belgium too so I have to go under the waiver program but have little to no clue now. It’s getting a little annoying. Trying to visit her in January on the 16 for a couple weeks. Any tips. I’d greatly appreciate them

    Since the websites and conditions have likely changed in the past 6 years, could you make an updated video for 2023?

    Hi! Your tips were great! Just want to know though if I'm visiting just one country should i do the thing you did where you booked different tickets to and from the country instead of a round trip directly?
