• 0:39
  Number one, find the cheapest day to fly.
• 0:43
  If you can be flexible with your travel dates when you fly in or
• 0:47
  when you fly out or both, then you can save a lot of money.
• 0:51
  So how do you do this? Well, go to a search engine, a
• 0:55
  flight search engine that gives you an overview of the day.
• 1:00
  Listen? What they cost, some good ones
• 1:02
  for, this is kiwi. Let's come and Google flights.
• 1:06
  And so as soon as you have put in while you're flying from and
• 1:10
  why are you flying to, then you will see month by month where
• 1:14
  you can find the cheapest. Flights tips.
• 1:18
  Number two is Jack's Flight Club.
• 1:22
  So this is a newsletter you put in where you live and then you
• 1:27
  will get notified by email. When when there is unusually
• 1:31
  cheap flights available. So for example, I've been able
• 1:35
  to find flights to and from Tokyo for like 400 pounds or
• 1:41
  something. It was crazy cheap and if you
• 1:44
  get their premium version, you get even more deals that you can
• 1:48
  find Tips. Number three is to collect
• 1:51
  flight points with credit cards. Yes, there are quite many credit
• 1:57
  cards that lets you collect. Points.
• 2:00
  Even when you don't buy flight tickets, it could be also just
• 2:05
  groceries. Every time I use that credit
• 2:07
  card, you will collect points that you can reimburse.
• 2:10
  For flights one that I'm using is called a travel wallet.
• 2:15
  So here it is. Travel wallet, and it's made by
• 2:20
  Scandinavian Airlines and this is actually not a credit cards
• 2:24
  or debit card. I prefer I prefer debit cards.
• 2:27
  So every time I use this to buy stuff I get Get 5 Points with
• 2:31
  Scandinavian Airlines. Tip number four is to sign up
• 2:36
  for flight providers, newsletters.
• 2:39
  Yeah, just enough for the newsletters.
• 2:41
  It can be buddies. Airlines like Orion are we there
• 2:45
  or just your favorite flights and you get notified.
• 2:49
  You and you'll be the first one to know when they release need
• 2:52
  campaigns. For example, they might have a
• 2:55
  Autumn sale or Valentine's Day special where you A dear friend
• 3:01
  for hours tips. Number five is zones.
• 3:04
  Wait to book your flights. If you are not very flexible
• 3:08
  with your dates and you know, when you need to fly, and when
• 3:11
  you won't need to fly home, then it's usually doesn't work out
• 3:16
  cheaper to wait. Instead just by as soon as
• 3:19
  possible unless if you want to go with them, a premium Airline
• 3:24
  if you're more flexible but otherwise like the budget
• 3:27
  Airlines like right now and wizard, they will start.
• 3:29
  Worked with like really cheap flights and then as you go
• 3:33
  closer to the dates, The Cheap Tickets will be taken.
• 3:36
  And then it'll become more and more expensive longer you.
• 3:38
  Wait, tips number 6 is to set up price alerts.
• 3:45
  So in flight search engines, you can usually set up a price alert
• 3:50
  for your search, so that when the price changes then you will
• 3:55
  get notified by email. So if you're not in a rush to
• 3:58
  book, this is Good way to keep track of where the price is.
• 4:03
  And when you see that it drops and you can be fast in their
• 4:06
  bucket, tip number seven is to pack light and travel carry on.
• 4:13
  It's crazy how many cheap flights they're out there in
• 4:17
  Europe. You can literally find a flight
• 4:19
  for the same price as your lunch.
• 4:22
  Like, I'm talking 15. $20 for a trip from London to Spain London
• 4:29
  to Italy. Lee.
• 4:30
  However, if you add a Shack in bag that could add up to $60 to
• 4:37
  the ticket price, making it sometimes cheaper to go with the
• 4:40
  premium Airline. So if you want to travel really
• 4:44
  cheaply like a lunch price cheap, the definitely only take
• 4:48
  a carry on with you I use of osprey, Fairview 40, it's really
• 4:54
  durable. It's a digital Nomad favorite
• 4:57
  and it fits the Of a carry-on, but make sure to check out the
• 5:03
  Airlines and the requirements. Because sometimes I could
• 5:06
  change, Ryanair is no longer accepting a cat.
• 5:10
  A big bigger carry-on bag if you don't upgrade to priority and
• 5:15
  you can only take like a little one, so make sure to check out
• 5:17
  their websites especially when it comes to Ryanair and wizard
• 5:21
  tips. Number eight, find the cheapest
• 5:24
  place to fly to. If you don't know where you want
• 5:27
  to go, you just want a vacation. You just Want to go somewhere
• 5:30
  else. Then in some of search engines
• 5:34
  such as SEC kiwi, you can actually just type in anywhere
• 5:38
  and it will show you a list of countries and how much it costs
• 5:41
  to go there and you'll get even like an interactive map where
• 5:45
  you can see like, okay to Moscow, is that prise De Paris
• 5:49
  is that prize pool? With this one, is cheap to to
• 5:51
  Madrid. I'm so that's super helpful.
• 5:53
  If you, not sure where you want to travel tips, number nine is
• 5:58
  to be flexible with Stopper. Ours, sure it's so much more
• 6:02
  convenient to fly directly without any stopovers, but you
• 6:07
  can save a lot of money with having stopovers.
• 6:10
  When you choose a flights with several stopovers faster.
• 6:15
  And also, the cost of airplane food, which can be really,
• 6:18
  really expensive or a hotel night.
• 6:21
  If you're planning to stay overnight at an airport that can
• 6:24
  also be really expensive, hotel X airports.
• 6:26
  If you're planning on sleeping in the airport's, then that's
• 6:30
  not always super nice and it's hard to get sleep done.
• 6:34
  There is a website called sleeping in airports of come
• 6:37
  there recommend you. Check out if you planning on
• 6:39
  sleeping an airport so you can find the best places to sleep in
• 6:43
  airplane in sorry the airport and if they have like sleeping
• 6:47
  pods or relaxed area, but generally I find that it's not
• 6:52
  worth it for me. If it means, I have to sleep
• 6:55
  over in the airport tip. Number ten use multiple.
• 6:59
  Airlines. When you book from a regular
• 7:02
  flight search engine, then when you see a flight with several
• 7:07
  stopovers, it will be from the same airline or same airline
• 7:13
  alliance. However, if you choose to have
• 7:18
  different airlines or from different alliances, then you
• 7:22
  can save a lot of money. So one way to do that, is to use
• 7:26
  the Kiwi.com flight search engine.
• 7:29
  Or you can just book one leg at a time.
• 7:32
  It's up to you really, but just make sure that you have at least
• 7:36
  two hours in between because you never know, flights, get
• 7:41
  cancelled, or get laid very often that's very common and
• 7:45
  then you don't have to rush to the airport and you because all
• 7:50
  you also need to check in your luggage again if you have a
• 7:52
  Shack in bag so you need that extra time.
• 7:55
  Kiwi has a guarantee so that if you book turkey with And you,
• 8:00
  you will get another flight. So but make sure to have at
• 8:05
  least two hours in between tip. Number eleven, use several
• 8:10
  search engines and here, of course, say talking about flight
• 8:14
  search engines, so you could be, you could try kiwi kayak
• 8:19
  Skyscanner. It's a good Swedish one that
• 8:22
  also has English called a floozy.
• 8:24
  Curious or booked Asia. I always check with several
• 8:27
  before I decide because I Always, always find that the
• 8:32
  price varies. There's always one that is
• 8:34
  cheaper, tip number 12, is to join a frequent flyer program.
• 8:40
  All Airlines have a frequent flyer program.
• 8:44
  So if you are Globetrotter or a digital Nomad like me, then I
• 8:47
  highly recommend that every time you buy a flight and it's from a
• 8:50
  new Airline sign up for their frequent flyer program.
• 8:54
  It doesn't cost you anything and that means that every time in
• 8:57
  the future when you travel with them you can't And points these
• 9:01
  points, you can then exchange for other flights airplane, food
• 9:06
  other products or freebies or upgrade to business class,
• 9:10
  right? Treat yourself to a business
• 9:12
  class ticket, why not tip number 13 is to use student discounts,
• 9:18
  so some Airlines and programs actually have student discounts
• 9:23
  and or like a youngster, it discounts.
• 9:26
  So for simple, Scandinavian Airlines have one.
• 9:30
  For I think if you're under 25 years old you get cheaper
• 9:33
  flights. I've used that many times when I
• 9:36
  was very young and Kilroy and sta travel also have student
• 9:43
  discounted flights tip number 14 is to pay in the airline's
• 9:49
  currency, the start by just going to a flight search engine,
• 9:53
  find the flight that you prefer, then go to the homepage of the
• 9:58
  airline and start for the Same flight.
• 10:01
  And now shange the currency to the currency of that country.
• 10:05
  So for let's say Norwegian are then you want to change to a New
• 10:09
  Vision crowns. It's not always as it becomes
• 10:13
  cheaper but quite often. So why not give it a little try
• 10:18
  tip? Number 15 is to buy flights in
• 10:21
  bulk. So if they, if you're going on a
• 10:23
  World trip or travel in a few countries in Europe, then it's
• 10:29
  usually Ali turns out cheaper if you get the multi-city option of
• 10:34
  that flight search engine. So in, for example, let's say
• 10:36
  you want to go to Budapest Paris and Madrid, then it's better to
• 10:41
  put those all into the multi sitter City function, instead of
• 10:46
  buying one leg at a time. Do you know any other flight
• 10:50
