[@MADHIKER777]

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 😒

[@mando8222]

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

[@itsfrankieg5816]

Thanks for the info !

[@austinhamilton122]

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

[@MissPee6094]

😂😂

[@Segnr21]

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.

[@patrick1992]

No risk no fun 😂

[@paulsz6194]

If potential flight delays / cancellations are you’re type of fun... Most people here have fun at their destination, not from their journey, LoL...😜

[@maaltx]

As an air passenger you have the right for compensation except if it’s the act of war of act of God.Dept of air transportation can help if you file a complaint

Irrelevant for one ways unless connection booked in one direction on 2vm airlines 😊

[@thetravelcoaches]

[@robertstepp1072]

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..

[@moneywise757]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWKbZJaarL-Aq7csi=ieXWcu_UJoOyjitK

[@Ian.549]

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.

[@shimshonfischer8068]

Great! Bro

[@desertrose5606]

Great, thanks for the hacks

[@dimaslizardo1168]

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.

[@mangostickyrice555]

[@thetravelcoaches]

Thanks so much for watching our videos! We really appreciate your support❤️❤️❤️

[@MADHIKER777]

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.

[@julesbaumann6560]

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

[@thetravelcoaches]

Thanks for sharing!

Bro this is Gospel right now. Thanks for the content certainly will use

[@thetravelcoaches]

Glad you found it helpful! ❤️

[@TB-xx4gc]

This is great, I think, if your only real consideration is getting the cheapest flight possible. But there are other things equally important to me that oftentimes aren't addressed in these types of vlogs - such as departure times, arrival times, and duration of flights. I am not interested in departing at 5am, sitting in a layover airport for 12 hours, and arriving at my final destination at midnight, all for what would otherwise be a 6 hour direct flight, just to save myself $100. I'll gladly pay the extra $100.

[@shoiku4734]

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

[@jeremyflyaway961]

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 .

[@docrw]

Best tip of all that's NEVER mentioned

[@ispeedinwater]

The incognito is a myth apparently.. saw another video talking about it and it was tested

[@jeremyflyaway961]

Well not for me, if I'm not in incognito all the time I do a new search the price increases. Google remember your search and prices go up. After, the first time you connect incognito or not price are probably the same 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@SabineBeckerPUSH]

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.

[@andrecomanigault]

I use incognito mode a lot when looking for tickets.. I can say that sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't..

[@mariacifuentesmarrero8938]

thank you for the detail explanation great content

[@inspiredbahroots]

Great info, this video is greatly appreciated!

[@martonminor5015]

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(?)

[@christofat2704]

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

[@SS-fi4oo]

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

[@juno7893]

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.

[@ashokkkripalani5222]

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

[@ut561]

wow I didn't even know google flights existed !

[@rs120]

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

[@survivalistnomad9507]

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

[@flojaxboy1005]

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

[@tegabiz4232]

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

[@kendrickcontent]

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

[@Stormbrise]

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.

[@annelouise99]

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).

[@rs6588]

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?

[@thetravelcoaches]

Humm I am not exactly sure, but you could try quitting chrome and restarting it! Thanks for watching❤️

[@zilam98]

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! 🙏🙏🙏

[@hennym5674]

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?

[@luisalbertoguanche5245]

Nice hacks 🤙🏽

[@user-wv4zb7vp1x]

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.

[@batucave]

Friday and weekends are always higher.

[@mocha_chuchay5945]

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

[@sugarplumjustice]

Anyone figure how to get the extensions on an iPad? No sign of the dots to find chrome web store

[@DirectionlessStudent]

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.
