[@BetterYet]

Excellent info. As a former travel agent, booking directly with the airline is best even if a bit more expensive. If things go sideways, they can easily fix it but if you booked with a reseller or agency you are stuck with whatever they can or are willing to do. Plus fees.

[@DavidGTravels]

Welcome to the channel and thanks for sharing your insight!

wud not touch a reseller with a barge pole

[@riskyron1416]

Book with anyone other than the airline you will regret it if anything goes wrong as you will be talking with an ass on the phone in Seattle or Mumbai telling you they will answer in a month or two/ Airline will have a representative at the airport to address

[@DavidGTravels]

@@riskyron1416 Agreed, book direct wherever possible!

@@DavidGTravels Seems Central and South America Business Class has become a thing of the past. Economy Plus has no attraction in replacing. AeroMexico has become my favorite but miss the Embraer 190 and absolutely will not fly Boeing Max and hesitate flying any Boeing. I worked mainly with Military and NASA, but familiar with the engines and instrumentation on Commercial Aircraft. I practically wrote the procedure for Spectrographic Oil Analysis Program. Boeing lost its quality control in the late 1980s. Too many drugs being used by their workers. As I once told a US Marine Major, "You think you're so special then tell me why they let drug crazed sailors work on your plane." Yup that did it. Knew I was right, never flew a gain and took an early retirement. Sure glad Lockheed no longer makes Commercial Aircraft, they had the worst quality control of any.

Bad Experience with Kiwi. You might want to do a video on this so others don't fall into the same trap. I booked with Kiwi for HNL to Sdf flight 3 months in advance. Good fare basic economy tickets on Hawaiian and Spirit. Paid for the tickets. 1 month later kiwi tells me Spirit cancelled their flight. Kiwi tells me they can try to get my money back, but once you say okay, it is non revocable. A day later kiwi tells me they got a credit from Spirit for the flight good only for 2 months, and that the Hawaii flight was cancelled with no refund. So basically by letting them try to cancel, I got screwed. Couldn't even use the Hawaiian ticket anymore to get to the mainland. This was all two months in advance. I'll never use kiwi again. Like you said, find the flights with them, and do the rest yourself.

Interesting video but I never use these sites. I book directly with the airlines because, in the long run in my case at least, it's easier to manage flights directly with the airlines. Okay, I'll never get a first class ticket for $700 instead of over $3,000 but I do get points for my flights and usually end up with enough for a couple of nights for free each year in pricier hotels in major cities. 😊

What I see right now is that airlines artificially keep the number of flights low to charge approximately 50% more than before COVID. Having less flights they pack airplanes full and often overbook (I hear them announcing it at the gate that the flight is overbooked and they need someone to agree to fly with another flight). Having their flights overbooked they have very little stimulus to offer discounts. That's why I could not find any discounted flight from my town in Canada to Bangkok for September-October using the mentioned websites though it is the low season. Probably, the situation is better when you fly from the USA but when you travel from Canada it is expensive like hell.

[@DavidGTravels]

Thanks for sharing!

[@mitzoss]

I wish you could comment more than "Thanks for sharing!" I am interested how you're responding to those arguments@@DavidGTravels

[@DavidGTravels]

@@mitzoss Many routes have less flights than pre-COVID, though there are other routes that have much more competition now. Though passenger numbers are getting close, they're not back to pre-pandemic numbers yet. So there's still some continious adjustment being made by airlines. But all of this is only so helpful to the average traveler to consider - in the end there are deals to be had using the techniques outlined in this video. Feel free to ask any more specific questions @mitzoss

Kiwi wanted to charge me 50 USD for the second baggage from Chicago to Frankfurt via Istanbul . In the Airline regulations of Turkish Airlines it was stated that the 2nd baggage is free. So I booked directly over Turkish Airlines and saved 50 USD in contrast to Kiwi. Happened last year in June. So check, doublecheck and then check it again.

does google flights use ITA matrix? it sure feels and looks like it in a slightly more simpler interface

Sort of, google now owns both and google flights was influenced by ITA Matrix.

[@jennifermueller4654]

Which airlines have that two seat option do you find? I love that.

[@DavidGTravels]

Quite a few, but do keep in mind that they’ll usually be wide-body planes on long haul flights or small jets on more regional routes. My favorites so far are the upper decks of British Airways and Qatar Airways A380s, but the 767s United flies to and from Berlin are decent enough too.

[@marlenefunk2137]

Having had two airport managers as good friends over the years, you would be surprised to know where airlines cut costs. Having a high regard for life, I do not do discount airlines. Depends what you call a great deal. It depends on the value you put on your life. If you get into a habit of using one major airline all of the time, they will usually give you great bargains.

[@farmerfarmerer3847]

Yeah, I draw the line at DC-3's In South America, where there are more drums of diesel than passengers.

[@DavidGTravels]

Definitely agree that a suitable airline depends on your needs. To be fair to low-cost carriers I’ve had horrible experiences on them, but I’ve also had a lot of really good experiences (and half empty planes) flying them.

Gota a question. If you use skiplagged to find a flight with a layover where you're going, can you get your checked bags at the layover point, or do they stay with the airline for the duration of the entire flight?

[@DavidGTravels]

No checked bags

[@FlaThunderstorm]

When considering a travel site that advertises inexpensive tickets, one has to wonder why are the tickets so inexpensive? One of the ways, that is not legally allowed by airlines, is using someone elses frequent flyer miles. The travel company purchases frequent flyer miles from someone that cannot use them for one reason or another. The miles are purchased for rock bottom cost. Then the travel company uses the frequent flyer miles to book your ticket sometimes consolidating miles from different entities. There have been many recorded instances where the airline has booted people off flights with no refund, sometimes in the middle of their trip, and you may be banned from flying that airline.

[@DavidGTravels]

Thanks for commenting. In this video you’ll find information on how to use five sites that are often overlooked to find flight deals that can be booked on the airline’s own website.

[@paulgilliland2992]

Not completely traveling to your final destination is frowned upon and hopping off at the hub city is likely to get you the boot .@This happened to me on BA last year .

[@DavidGTravels]

Hey @paulgilliland2992, thanks for the comment! You’re right that skiplagging has some controversy attached to it. Skiplagged is also a useful search tool for other flight search techniques, though - I talk a bit about this in the video if you’d like to learn more.

[@northernbohemianrealist1412]

[@marcr2204]

do you know if there is an easy way to search for multi ticket flights? example going to point A to C cost 2k but buying one ticket for A to B then B to C only cost 1300. This is where im stuck right now haha. Cant find an easy way to search like this. Multi city is close but not close enough to work as it doesn't search for cheaper ways via separate tickets.

[@DavidGTravels]

Google flights is a good go-to tool for this. For one-way tickets you can just search separately, but often open jaws can get you much lower pricing.

[@jocelyndemers8686]

coooool

[@popbre3]

When ever I use a 3rd party booking to look for low fares and then try to book directly with the airline line the price goes up $300 sometimes up to $1,000., ho back to the 3rd party and it’s still the low price. So I end up booking with them. How do I get the same low price when booking directly with the airline???

[@DavidGTravels]

That can happen, but it’s very rare that third-party sites will be more than a tiny bit cheaper. The process I find the most success with is to search for the flights i research directly on the airline’s website, but you may find that you get a better price by clicking into the airline’s website from another search website from time to time.

[@jaxx-_-123]

Make sure to tell these people that if you you Skiplagged or just hopping off on that middle flight, you have a high chance of being banned from that airline. Do that on the four or five major airlines, and then you never fly again.

Thanks for sharing, this can also be a really useful tool for finding cheap flights. Often you don't even need a VPN to get prices from different countries, either. I've got a video in the works that covers this topic, so stay tuned!

If your travel is set in stone - such sites are not bad. However, to all parents and spouses of military, future military out there - ALWAYS buy tickets directly from the airlines. The travel third party retailer will push you into a dead end with fees for date or time change, cancelations will end up looking the entire cost of the ticket, IF you will be able to get a hold of customer service if any urgency. Most of them do not work 24 hours. And airline won’t be able to help you at all, unless the tickets were purchased directly from the airline. Not all airlines are “military friendly”. But I won’t advertise any specific one, because a lot also depends where your Marine, soldier, seaman, etc is stationed. Depending on the part of of continental US, or Korea, Japan, Germany, etc. Don’t count on “military discount” - whenever your kiddo (or spouse) will be traveling on leave - the date will be blacked out of military discount. And if you have complicated routes - also ask about one way tickets cost - that was cheaper at times (rare, but this happened) to buy 2 one-ways tickets than one round trip.

In the video I’m clear that you want to book directly no matter who you are.
