The Best Cheap Flights Websites Nobody Talks About

[@DavidGTravels]

🚀Hey there, I'm so glad to see this video has been useful to so many of you. I've got a number of new travel videos for you (with much better audio). If you're interested in hacking your way to the best flight prices, though, this one is particularly helpful ➡kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6qsc36Yjc2Db8U

[@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!

[@Gold.Circle.]

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!

[@riskyron1416]

@@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.

[@Oilcruzer]

Thank you. We saved 45% on our October booking to Europe. Big thumbs up.👍

[@DavidGTravels]

Great to hear, enjoy your trip!

[@Oilcruzer]

@@DavidGTravels Thanks. And full disclosure, we used itamatrix after learning Kiwi, and then booked on the airline site directly. It was about 4 hours of "what ifs" for cities and dates (ending up using multi-city) and inputting options and amazingly we have better flights than we could have imagined (and could not otherwise find.)

[@DavidGTravels]

Awesome, so glad you found an amazing deal!

Used Kiwi for cheapest direct from Europe to Southeast Asia. Well who would have known Athens Singapore route exists direct for 200 bucks. Amazing tool if flexible.

[@DavidGTravels]

Awesome! That route is on Scoot (Singapore Airlines low-cost subsidiary), so make sure to consider baggage and other costs. Happy travels!

Thanks for the info on ITA, David. I’ve been travelling the world for years and years but never knew of ITA. Love an in-depth review of their website/business in general. I’m a senior now and can’t endure those long haul flights in economy anymore. I spend a good bit of my time trying to find deals in business class flight travel.

[@DavidGTravels]

Totally understand about long-haul economy, working on a new video to give more insight into some strategies I use to get cheaper business class tickets. As for ITA there’s not much of business there, it’s just a really useful search engine.

[@kmwa1234]

ALWAYS! Book with the airlines directly!!!! Always! If there are issues of any kind, third party bookers make it difficult, if not impossible!! Don’t be an amateur!

[@tonygriffin3040]

Absolutely….I learned the hard way more than once….i now book direct with the airline….and direct with the hotels…I often travel with ppl who chase deals…if I decide to extend my stay there’s never a problem usually get upgrade …. while the others are frustrated trying to get reply from third party sites and cost a fortune

[@sarahhartman5723]

I’m a million miler and still sometimes book w third party sites. It just depends on the savings and route. Agree that booking directly with the airline is lower risk and, depending on your ff status, can make more sense long-term. But I sometimes buy last minute business class seats on Priceline for a third the price that the airlines are charging. The gamble is sometimes worth it to me when flying long hauls.

[@Germerican2510]

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.

[@DavidGTravels]

Book direct to avoid stuff like this.

[@Hozagen]

It's only worth booking with kiwi when it has special deals, otherwise it's better to book directly with the airline

[@ozzyyyoioioi]

In Europe my flight was cancelled while i was touring the countryside, when i finally got to see the email to get a refund the time period ended, i could not find any way to contact Kiwi, any emails i sent never answered, never got the refund so for me, Ki-Wi-No-More

[@dmitriikurilov1569]

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

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. 😊

[@DavidGTravels]

Thanks for commenting. I booked business class tickets between the US and Europe for around the price you just listed and booked directly with the airline.

Yes, initally KIWI are a little cheaper but once you ADD 1 carry on bag and 1 checkin bag things change quickly. KIWI are then no cheaper than Skyscanner or Agoda or Bookings !!!. Cheers Max.

[@DavidGTravels]

You’re confused, the baggage policies are the same on all the OTAs. You use those sites to search and then book direct.

[@ericrusby807]

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.

[@Kitiwake]

Can you threaten then legally?

[@DavidGTravels]

Unfortunately booking with OTAs can often add complication to traveling. As I recommend in the video, book direct wherever possible and use other websites as search tools. -David

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.

[@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.

[@markylon]

3rd party bookers are great and you can save tens of thousands. Just pay with a credit card and if there's an issue do a CARD CHARGEBACK - Simple no risk.

[@DavidGTravels]

Usually you won't find third-party sites offering significantly lower prices. CC chargebacks should always be considered a last resort.

@@DavidGTravels I have booked 20 flights this year ALL massively cheaper than direct. If my provider won't refund then I won't hesitate to do a chargeback.

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.

American Airlines is suing Skiplagged. Where people were barred from an airline for skiplagging. If your tickets going to airport A - B - C and get off at airport B. On the return flight should be C - B - A. but your get on airport B and finish at airport A. That's how the airline catches you.

[@DavidGTravels]

@scottsmit1115 United sued Skiplagged and lost. If you skip a flight all the rest of your flights on that ticket will be cancelled. But keep in mind that Skiplagged is also a useful search engine for other flight booking techniques.

That's why you buy 1-way tickets each way instead of a round trip.

[@TheBooban]

@@DoomFinger511but 1 way tickets are more expensive.

@@TheBooban Hey, it’s just arithmetic. A-B-C and B-A one way may add up to less than A-B RT. If not, don’t do it!

[@suze6083]

@@TheBoobannope, not always the case.

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 commenting! If you're interested in learning a little more about skiplagging and my thoughts on it, here's a video for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKKtqpxnn9Wcr9E Do keep in mind that Skiplagged is useful for other flight search techniques and I go over this in the video. -David

@@DavidGTravelsI know all about it and while you may get away with it at first, Airlines’s do keep track of that kind of information and once they become aware, you can definitely get banned from flying them again.

[@TheBooban]

@@jaxx-_-123but does skiplagged show you the flight continues beyond the city you bought the ticket for? Maybe I don’t want to Skiplagged. I just like to buy tickets through them.

[@jaxx-_-123]

@@TheBoobanyes, if you buy a ticket from city A to city C but get off in city B in the middle of your journey, that is against the terms of service and could get you banned from that particular airline. If you just did it once they probably wouldn’t do anything but if you make it a habit…..

[@TheBooban]

@@jaxx-_-123 but I mean does skiplagged show me my ticket actually continues to city C? Because I search for city A to B. Skiplagged can show me this flight to city B. But it also goes to C. Does it show me this? Or am I skiplaggning in ignorance?

Kiwi is another low-cost carrier rated site that nickle n dimes you for luggage as well. Also, they work by keeping you stranded your 2nd leg back to usa. Jfk to Italy 9 hrs Italy to jfk 17 hr...8 hrs in airport 😂

The flights from Australia to the Uk is hard as i can only fly 4 to 5 hours at a time and its not cheap. Love some advice please. Thank you.

[@DavidGTravels]

Thanks for commenting! Keep in mind that on this channel I don’t quite have the bandwidth to give individual travel ideas in depth. But you could try breaking up your trip with a few stops along the way - maybe something like Singapore for a few days and then India and Turkey. There are a fare amount of low-cost options in Asia and Europe.

[@mareelewis7639]

@@DavidGTravels Thank you for your time but i think i will have to end up paying someone from youtube as i cannot go that way due to the medication i am on as it takes a lot but i thought to Apia and then to Hawaii to the mainland and to Canada and need to break it up to the Uk if that makes sense. Thank you and if you are ever looking for a paid job well always let me know as i need to get over that way as my son has a terminal illness. 😞
