Warnng: ALWAYS buy the ticket directly from the Airline. 3rd party tickets work if everything goes according to plan. But, the airline will not change your ticket, even if it's their fault like mechanical, or out of their control like weather. You can change the ticket ONLY through the agency you bought it from, and prepare for the big fee hit. Ask me how I know 😒

Always fly South West, they let you change your flight without extra charge if your travel plans change

Yes, drive 4 hours away to save $80 on a flight. Makes perfect sense. Great hack.

Thank you for the video I had a flight $1130 after using the travel arrow I got in the same flight for 870 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you soooooo much

One disclaimer about using different airlines for each way, be careful if one airline ends up cancelling or severely delaying your flight. The other airline will not likely accommodate for the mis connect or inconvenience and travel insurance helps mostly after the fact.

Date grid is awesome. I always went back n forth with multiple apps, exhausting.

Great tutorial - thank you. I have been looking at Google Flights, but struggled to understand how some of the features like date grid work. Your tutorial is very helpful. Excellent, clear explanations, well-paced and right amount of detail. 👍👍

Great info. I appreciate you.

Thanks for the amazing tips! As an adventurer, it's a great idea to explore different options.

Thank you very much for the information. Very clear!👍

Some very useful information as I’m looking right now for flight for my vacation next year. I have noticed that the date grids does save you money if you can be flexible in your dates, sadly with my job I have no flexibility.

Thank you for your time and posting. Going to Vietnam in September to see if I want to retire there. :)

I found out that I can plan my trips with Google Travel too.. like plan activities and all that 😀

dude you're the best, thanks for sharing.

Some important things to note. As has been mentioned, if you hook through a third party, you may wind up having issues with flight delays or cancellations and missed connections, as you didn’t buy the ticket directly from the airline. Also, if you belong to a frequent flyer program or have status, buying tickets from a third party may not give you the same benefits as buying from the airline. If you’re a leisure traveler, looking for the bare bones cheapest flight, these hacks work. However, I prefer the loyalty rewards I get with the airlines and am willing to pay a little more. Also, some for some of us, the nearest airport might be in a different state, so driving for hours and paying to park doesn’t make sense. Example, I live in Seattle and the closest major airport is in Portland.

Great and useful video. Thank you.

Excellent video! Thank you so much

Thank you for info.

I've tried many of these hacks in the problem is yes you can find a cheaper flight for instance I go from Tampa Florida to Frankfurt Germany, how the standard direct flight is about 9, but sometimes you find of course cheaper flights if you have a, but some have multiple layovers and I found one that made it a 42 hour flight, leaving Tampa going to Las Vegas laying over then to San Francisco laying over and then a direct flight from San Francisco... These are what I refer to as insane flights that just make no sense. Of course you can filter down to just one layover, but that takes away all the cheap flights, so cost is not a very good parameter to judge flights on, many just make no sense...

@rs120

Absolutely.. The more layovers usually the cheaper the cost.. No amount of legroom and amenities will make up for the comfort you you lose on changing flights constantly..

Using the multicity option can save you money as well on an long international flights. We booked flight tickets from Australia to Colombia that pass by Peru so we checked with multicity if the price change if we actually stay in Peru for a couple of weeks and it appeared that the price was identical but we get to visit Peru now ☺️. You also forget to mention the incognito mode that saves you a lot of money because without, when you connect to google it remembers your search and prices keep increasing all the time you connect .

So very true! The incognito mode just does not work! I travel a lot, and I have tried it several times. Maybe it worked at some point in time, but somehow the search engine knows exactly where you’re going to go. Incognito or not. I think it’s a bunch of BS.

Good video, thank you. Can you use the one way method to Europe by buying 2 one way tickets?

What a fantastic video! I use Kayak who has a similar "Date Grid" which always saves money. The impressive thing about your reverse technique of "Exploring" where you want to go is brilliant for vacationers. I definitely plan to use this on my next European trip. Of course, it may be hard to convince Grandma, who lives in Topeka, that you want to visit here in Bangor, LOL.

Thumbs up 👍

For day grid, I do the same with official airlines & see the whole month's prices to get the cheapest.

Awesome info ... I live in Australia and it's called "down under" for a reason! It is crazy expensive to get anywhere. One fantastic spin off of your hacks (the explore function) is that I've noticed I can save lotsa dollars if split my flight. What I mean is this: I'm looking to go Sydney (Aust) to San Francisco. The one way flight (direct) is about $AUD 1,900 however, if i do it in two separate bookings (Syd -> Hawaii and Hawaii -> SFO) I can save some $400+ dollars. Thanks soooo much !!!! Cheers

good tips! have to listen again; would you consider changing background to white? It's really hard to read on black screen; maybe it's just me or my computer(?)

I dislike immensely all the travel search engines that are not upfront with what options you may want to select. Just about all of them try to con you towards them with a cheap price but they don't include any bloody luggage! No upfront choice of yes I want to choose my seat. Yes, I may want Premium Economy, etc. Grrrrrrrr. They are no better than used car salespeople and politicians.

Thanks

I have a weird feeling that these guys actually work for the airlines (possible Google)

Hi it is possible to choose only for check-in luggage for your flight?

For international flights you might try changing your location to a lower income country using the menu at the bottom of google flights or using a VPN.

Hello! do you have any tips on how to get cheap flights for business class? if thats possible? thx!

I thank you for this information. Its very helpful.

No passenger likes to face inconvenience at the airline check-in counter, especially flying a long-haul international flight, I have peace of mind booking directly to the airline website, and a bit higher price airfare but it is easier to contact their customer service if problems occur compared to those third-party travel website and dealing with their unreliable call center workers who can barely speak English.

Insteadof thes sights Expedia kayaks trip can we get derectly with airlines we could work derictly with the airlines which maybe lots more cheaper to fly normaly

Also do cheapest video , from Tega L ., from Nigeria

Overall a great video for people hunting for cheapest flights however, we all know lower cost comes with a price to pay for something else usually.. In the example given where we save couple of hundred dollars on the flight to Paris, the lenght of the flight is 24 hours vs. 16 hours which is a few hours longer and on a 7 day holiday, you lose almost a day just on a longer travel on a return ticket.. and not to mention 2 flight changes!! ouch!! I love google flight and the way I use is with my own favorite crieria.. 1) change to one way flight as I always have a different destination next as I travel on a more long term basis 2) change flight stops to zero meaning I only want to fly direct and I choose my destinations based on direct destinations 3) leave the destination blank and find out where to there are direct flights from where I am and then 4) go to the website of the airline directly and book there.. I loved the Grid option you mentioned which I didn't know about and will explore further.. Cheers

wow I didn't even know google flights existed !

Thank you for taking time to teach us how to use google. I added the extensions you mentioned. But they didn’t pop up during search. Any suggestions?

On the last 2 hacks, do I have to click on remove from chrome in order to download?

I've never used Google Flights. Do you have to book through them (like Expedia)? I usually book directly with the airline since if something goes wrong, they are easier to work through.

@justsmy5677

You can search using Google Flight, then book directly with the airline (recommended).

Nice hacks 🤙🏽

can you comment on how to book connecting flights when the first flight does not get you to your final destination? do you book those separately yourself or take the recomended connection offered by the airline?

Awesome video , please can you do a video of how to book after all this , because you said ,I still need to go the website. Can be to check the cheapest price for , because I want to USA Miami Florida for a conference. Lagos Nigeria to Miami Florida. April 17 to 19 , but am up , April 30th and I will leaving on the 14 , And also do contonu to Miami Florida , same date , you can till sent via email

But usually it is not the price which dictates where u wanna go.. u already had that location to go to before even trying to search for a flight to that location

Direct or short layover or I’m not going unless I’m going to Africa or Asia

not sure if it was on this video that dealt with how on the main airline website, you can't find the trips that you could see on Google Flights. right now, i'm trying to book for September a round trip USA to the philippines, but both Alaska Air and Korean air (my most fav airline) couldn't show me any trips from dallas to philippines in my selected date, and even dates in october. i'm desperate for help! 🙏🙏🙏

Friday and weekends are always higher.

Thank you very much ! ( From Sri Lanka)

Do you, or can you, compare prices with the airlines themselves? For example American or Alaska?

Yes

i was hoping you would tell me something new !!!!

Did not work for me, the airline I chose actually had cheaper tickets. This is because google did not give all the extra fees included. Even adding an extra checked bag and food, our tickets were still cheaper. So buyer beware.

Bad idea not to buy directly from the airline.

And what if your traveling with a large family ? Not just 2 people. Still book one way ?

The problem with a lot of these hacks is they don't take all the issues into account. My closest airport is Hartford (Bradley). Yes, I can usually find a cheaper flight from Boston (Logan) or JFK (NYC) or Newark. But how much cheaper? If I go to Bradley I have a 30 minute drive on back roads with no traffic and I can valet park off site (free ride to airport) for about $3/day. If I go to Logan, it's a two hour drive and the cheapest parking is about $6/day. Or I can get a town car to Logan for about $250 each way. Plus Bradley is easy to fly in and out of, whereas Logan is a cesspool of overcrowding and problems. Going to JFK is even worse. So...if you're only going to save $300 by going to Logan, it's not worth it since you lose half of that getting there and you have to suffer for every penny of that with a long ride home and airport hassles when you least can stand them -- on your way home after a long trip. If you're willing to suck up all that torture to save $150 on your vacation, my suggestion to you is get a better job that pays more.😆

Airlines are responsible for the legs which are on the same ticket, but have no responsibility between the tickets. Flight cancellation or delay on one leg will not guarantee a refund for the affected leg on the other ticket, even if both tickets are issued by the same airline.

Tried to get Travel Arrow on my iPad Mini. Can’t do it. They can only load it to a desktop computer I guess. Probably only a Windows computer. I figure it doesn’t work with iOS Apple products. Oh well. At least I can still use the other tips and tricks. My flights are long haul flights between Toronto, Canada, and south and south east Asia. Thank you for your tips with Google Flights. I can see that they will save me money. 👏🏼 👍🏼 ✈️
