There are 3 powerful Google Flights tips we always use to save money on flights, which is what I consider one of the best flight booking websites in existence.
In this video, I’ll not only show you how to find cheap flights on Google Flights, but also a couple other tricks to potentially knock prices down even further.
Note on the VPN trick — this can be hit or miss. VPNs are better at getting cheap hotel deals than cheap flights, but once in a while you’ll stumble on a huge discount.
I’ve found that it works more often when searching for local flights in another country while you’re currently located in a different country (ex. Searching for flights between 2 Colombian cities while in the US).
It also sometimes works to simply switch the language and/or currency when searching on an airline’s website, but it depends on the airline/website.
In this Google Flights tutorial, I show you exactly how to find cheap airfare…but it’s only one piece of the puzzle. If you want to know how to find the cheapest flights possible, you need to understand the “big picture” of booking cheap flights…

Heyo! Mitch and Day here 👋🏼
We’re just your typical American-Colombian couple determined to live every second of our precious time here on earth to the fullest. After a 10-month solo backpacking trip through South America, I (Mitch) stopped in Cali, Colombia to take salsa dancing classes 💃🏻. I only planned to stay for a couple weeks, but God had other plans for me. I met a cute Colombian girl (Day) in class, those couple weeks turned into a couple years, and before we knew it…we were married 👰🏻🤵🏼
Now we’re traveling the world full time as digital nomads, supporting ourselves by working online 👨💻👩💻

The quality of this video is excellent.
One of the clearest explanations I’ve seen.
I found this really helpful.
Very well put together.
Very professional and well explained.
So many good tips, and the fact that Google has commented to this one… wow! Thanks for sharing
Very helpful and informative.
Skyscanner is another good option.
Nice but goes too fast at times. I can't figure out how to not enter a destination but get the grid with all the months and prices. Mine has the months but no prices.
I just found your video yesterday – amazed by your wealth of resources and hacks. Stating today, follow all your videos. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
The problem with these videos are they're the same as videos you've already made. I feel like it's really difficult to keep coming up with new content on your nice unless you make it super country specific which can lower the target audience.
Nice video but all stuff I've seen many times before
Awesome video!
Interesting.
Informative.
Good video. Can I have Mitch address for the ice cream ?
Does Surfshark slow down OS for you? I trialed Nord in Dec. and my computer is stll recovering (as am I since they are so impossible to cance with or deal with if you have a problem)
So helpful thank you, and apologies that I checked Going when you said it and failed to click into it from your page, dang it! I will do better in the future :(. Just a note too for folks looking at a destination for flex dates – the GREEN prices are the lowest for *that month only*. So, for example if I see $200 in March as lowest and am good with that, then I go to April and the lowest is $170 but the date doesn't work for me, I need to KEEP LOOKING for the $200 in April. That took me a while to learn and so I thought I was missing out when the green date didnt work for me…when in reality, there were great options at a relatively cheap rate for me, they just weren't highlighted on Google in the month I was looking at <3
Thank you so much for this video. Very instructive.
Very instructive
Thank you so much for this video. Very instructive.
Very informative
It was very instructive
LOVE your tips! Have you ever thought of having a stream with another You Tuber? (ie Law Tube does the same and have more streamers together discussing subjects. Very interesting! Would love to see you and Aly Smalls talk about cheap trips).
Thank you so much for this video. It was very interesting.
Trying to follow you is like trying to like trying to catch up with the guy in the car, that left his 'gas cap' off. The closer you get the faster he moves. Slow DOWNNNNNNNNNNN, your pace a little to that we can mimick you, on another window on our computer. Plus think, the longer we watch you the better your metrics on you tube.
Good point. I always book directly with the airline, when I know of a cheap time and which airline. Because a lot of time, these third party app will not be able to secure the flight at the end.
Yeah and also check if you require any kind of visa
Google shows me an $880 flight when I opened Air Canada's own portal to book the flight it's showing me a 1200$ flight 😂😂😂
Do you also change your currency when changing your VPN or just USD?
Plus the whole world is traveling- this makes it a bad experience, full flights , crowds everywhere and delays ever time!
You forgot to mention you can only use a lap top top. Who uses a lap top in this world – people use tablets. Google flight is like being at the dentist on IPad at least!
Google flights is the worse soft wear ever- terrible. You and your wife are clearly unemployed if you have the time it requires to use Google flights!
I usually buy one way tickets because I never know how long I want to stay in one place. Any tips on this?

Thanks, man. I'm wrapping up a long stay in Antioquia, Colombia, and it's time to head back home. This really helped me find the most affordable option (though the budget airline I chose to take is.. awful. We all know who I'm talking about), so I'd like to thank you. Keep doing these kinds of things; it's very helpful.
are you in Da Nang? I love that place
Is there something like the explore tab on google flights, but with an option longer then 2 weeks?
But the main question is, why are you shooting your video in open rice fields?
How can I use this with points
