There are 3 powerful Google Flights tips we always use to save money on flights, which is what I consider one of the best flight booking websites in existence.

In this video, I’ll not only show you how to find cheap flights on Google Flights, but also a couple other tricks to potentially knock prices down even further.

Note on the VPN trick — this can be hit or miss. VPNs are better at getting cheap hotel deals than cheap flights, but once in a while you’ll stumble on a huge discount.

I’ve found that it works more often when searching for local flights in another country while you’re currently located in a different country (ex. Searching for flights between 2 Colombian cities while in the US).

It also sometimes works to simply switch the language and/or currency when searching on an airline’s website, but it depends on the airline/website.

In this Google Flights tutorial, I show you exactly how to find cheap airfare…but it’s only one piece of the puzzle. If you want to know how to find the cheapest flights possible, you need to understand the “big picture” of booking cheap flights…

Like when to book, how far in advance to search, and how to use aviation laws and airline policies to your advantage.

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 👨‍💻👩‍💻

One warning if you book with a travel website! If there is an issue with your flight, the airline will not help you if you booked your ticket with a third-party travel site. The airline will refer you back to the travel site for assistance. If you're in a foreign country, it may be harder to contact the travel site due to the time difference. Pay the extra cost and book directly with the airline! I had a nightmare experience and I will never book through a travel site again. The few dollars I saved booking through a travel site was not worth the headache I faced when something went wrong.

Thank you for this amazing content and helpful tips. The background looks awesome 😎

[pedroberrizbeitia]

Thanks, man. I'm wrapping up a long stay in Antioquia, Colombia, and it's time to head back home. This really helped me find the most affordable option (though the budget airline I chose to take is.. awful. We all know who I'm talking about), so I'd like to thank you. Keep doing these kinds of things; it's very helpful.

Is it possible to set up flexible dates for 3 weeks or more?

[mauimixer]

Just incredible information ! Thanks 👍 Wish I had more choice of departure loc, price of living in Hawaii, i guess.
This is awesome, since I'm so flexible on dates and locs, though mainly looking at s.e.asia, and this is a tremendous help.
