A lot of people think that traveling to an exotic country and on another continent is guaranteed to be expensive. But what if we tell you that it is not true!? Believe us or not!

2. FLIGHT TICKETS TIPS

Yeah, flight tickets are a topic for hours but let’s try to keep it short. If you want to know more about flight tickets, you can read also this article, where we are more specific. 

So how do you find the cheapest and most importantly the most reliable flights? Over the years of traveling we’ve tried a ton of search websites and even bought tickets from some third parties. Out of all this trial and error we are left with only one tried and true workable and reliable method. And you are lucky, because we will tell you all our tips!

SKYSCANNER.COM

The secret is the search website like www.skyscanner.com. Right off the bat, however, we must also say that we NEVER buy tickets through this website and we don’t recommend it to you either.. NEVER!

The reason why we use www.skyscanner.com is only to search for flight tickets and compare their prices. After you enter your desired parameters, the search engine simply searches all airlines, various resellers and ticket resellers and shows you prices to your destination, which you can filter and compare according to various parameters. You can even see which days are the cheapest when you click on the calendar.

Once you’ve made your selection just go to the airline’s website and buy your tickets directly from them. Why directly with the airline and not with a third party? It’s simple, because of communication and solving any problems, flight changes, ordering additional services, etc. 

We know that prices on kiwi.com, mytrip.com, opodo.com and similar websites look better, but believe that the fees for example for paying by card, adding luggage or ordering food will be so high that you will pay much more money than if you buy everything directly from the airline. So NEVER buy flight tickets there!!
