Do you book your own flights or do you go through a travel agent? 🤷‍♀️ Let us know in the comments! 👇

We deliberately book flight with long layovers. We call those mini holidays, looking about a near city, airport lounge for free food and shower helps break up longer trips.

Hello. I am late twatch your video but I can tell it is the best one I watched so far. thanks a lot.

[krishurd]

This was an extremely helpful video! Thanks much! I am very much enjoying your videos as I start looking at a trip to Vietnam! Keep up the good work!

[laurenmcneil]

[matthewarnold]

Thank you so much. Your videos are so great, helpful, and direct.

[saturn]

This is amazing information. I never knew this existed. It save me so much time for lay over and separate flights, etc. Thank you. Now, I am going to watch part 2 of this video.

[Perryrburgess]

Hey! I realise you posted this ages ago....just recently subscribed to you. Love the posts and once we can travel again i will certainly give Google flights a go!....i didnt even know Google had this !! Thanks...Oh and I guess as its kinda close....Merry Xmas!!

[fredmjohnson]

Thank you for your goodness this is so blessed and awesome impressing keep doing the good job.

[greenled]

Any advice on what to do since Google flights has gotten rid of the "Nearby Airports" button. I know you can still type other airports in but sometimes it's hard to know what's nearby and now you can't see it on a map either.

[craigk]

Yes, it does not include Southwest Airlines. Not sure what other airlines is not included.

[hiroyukik]

Why do you choose US dollars when you search air tickets? I wonder if your credit card company does not charge foreign exchange fee or you have a bank account in US.

[u_t_d_s_h-_a]

One should be able to find some really cheap flights. Sometimes going straight to airlines counter at the airport helps too.

[adalix]

WOW! This video is so useful to me ( I'm afraid I am a techno brèle ;-))! Thank you dear Megan. I hope you're all right. Kisses from Montmartre

[mortpm]

How do you cancel a flight/hotel reservation. This is too much for I am done.

[ricardo]

I’ve never used Google Flights, I always use Skyscanner but after you video I’m sold.

[leohoward]

Interesting Video Megan as always I'll be staying at home because my countries businesses will need my money after knockdown is lifted I imagine you'll be going back to Vietnam after lockdown is over. I will probably go on a cruise too when funds allow too.

[lorecast]

Hi, would you book the flight once you identify it there on google flights or do you have to go purchase it at the airlines website? I did an trial one and it didnt give the option to purchase .

[rtsoccerplayer]

Another reason to not transfer in the US if your destination is outside of the US: You have to pass through US customs even if you're only transferring. It's tedious and a pain in the butt to deal with another customs check. Also they stamp your passport. If you're a frequent traveler that means your passport will be potentially filled up sooner.

I can't wait to use this. My future trip fantasy includes flying to Japan or maybe Korea from the US. I'm so glad I found your YouTube channel. I have become a subscriber too. Now can you find me a pretty girl to travel with? 😂
