Getting a Cheap Flight for Your Vacations - My best tools
Scott’s Cheap Flights
If you haven’t checked out this service you are missing out on thousands of cheap flights around the world. This business started from a single guy’s obsession of finding cheap flights to travel the world. According to CNBC, It has grown into a 2 million dollar business in under 2 years. What you essentially get is a team constantly finding every significant sale and sending it to you via email.
If you are worried that this is just another spam email site that send you a notification every time the price goes up and down by 10 dollars you are wrong. They will send you legit price drops on flights around the word.
Here is an example of a recent notification:
This shows flights lights to Beijing from all over US & Canada in the $400s/$500s roundtrip! (no bag fees)
You don’t have to be located in the US or Canada either. They offer deals like this one from other destinations around the world specific to your location so you don’t get bombarded with email.
The best part is that they offer a free service so there is no commitment and you don’t even have to put a credit card number in. They only bad part about the free subscription is that you only get a 3rd of the deals that they find so you could be missing out on some great deals. Another perk of the paid subscription is that you can set up a departure airport so you can get specific deal to an airport near you. The 12-month membership is only $39 a month and it comes with a 30 money back guaranteed.
It is important to note that you don’t’ book the flights directly through them. They will tell you where to search and what dates are available for that price. The generally use google flights or Momondo.
So if you want to be aware of the best deals for your next vacation without putting in the time, I highly recommend you check them out.

You know you are hooking up your customers with great deals when United Airlines files a lawsuit against you. What they offer that other sites don’t are hidden city flights. A hidden-city flight is a flight where you get off at the layover rather than the final destination.
Let’s say you wanted to fly from Denver to New York and the price was $400, but a similar flight from Denver to Miami with a layover in New York is $250. You can get off the plane at the layover rather than going to the final destination.
Of course, this is kind of controversial and you have to make sure you never check a bag, always bring your passport even if traveling domestically, and don’t associate with your frequent flyer miles
Google Flights
How could I not mention google flights? If you are not looking for an specific date, google flights will tell you which day and month the flight you are looking for will be the cheapest. Google will highlight in green the prices that are the best in their calendar feature.
Also this seems to be the place where Scott’ Cheap flights finds a lot of their deals so it is worth checking out.
