Do you use Google Flights? Do you like it?
Thanks to you, I will see Google Flights ☺️
Great video!! Thanks so much ! Very helpful (Though it's "an icon"… sorry, Lol, English grammer Teacher's force of habit)

how do you use google flight alerts when traveling to multiple cities. Ie, flying into one location and returning from a different one. Thanks in advance!
I find the prices are never available and they add $100s for baggage and seat selection.
My experience has been, the cheaper the flight, the longer the layover and the more stops. A flight time of 22 hours can be extended to 36 hours with more stops. If you can be flexible, it might be worth it. But, if you are on a schedule or specific time frame, it might be a bad idea.
but you could be paying for an additional night by staying longer, might not be a problem if you're staying with a friend perhaps but not always.
Such a useful video to have.
Thanks
This video is really useful.
I just looked at flying with Singapore Airline and figured that I would save about $300 buying 2 one way tickets.
So well explained, thank you.
another "hack" would be to first look for a cheap flight in the general direction. Then see if maybe 3,4 airports pop up for example halfway, that have a particularly good price and are interesting destinations. Then create a new search in a new browser tab from all those airports (remember you can search from multiple airports, right?) to the final destination. Especially if that extra stop is a nice place and you have a city trip planned, why not spend a night or 2 on that destination and explore another city. This does add a lot of complexity but there are scenarios in which it works out. For example planning a trip from somewhere in germany to Porto in portugal (which does offer cheap flights but not on our dates), I found a great route with a 2 day stopover in Barcelona, Spain.
thank you ! this is so helpful for me
Appreciate the straightforward approach.
Very high quality explanation.
This was so clear and simple.
👍👍
But remember to factor in hotel price if airfare is cheaper by adding a day (but especially if adding 2 days), as well as rental car, airport parking, extra meals, etc., if needed. That $100 difference in airfare may not save you $$$
Very professional and well explained.
Many, many thanks…
Very well thought out.
I notice kiwi and skipleg has better flights. Booking from europe is cheaper than US
5:43 I didn't think I was going to learn something new but I did and this is going to save me time.
Pure waste of time
Not very handy… they rip you off when you have to buy a checked bag like what am I gonna go to europe on a single carry on lol…
I don’t see how you’re saving money by staying an extra one or two days to get a cheaper flight when you have to pay for extra nights at a hotel to stay longer. Sorry, the math doesn’t add up
And noticed that most international flights (premium eco or busi class) get you to the connecting airport but then they jam you on a puddle jumper for your second leg. Fly direct non stop whenever possible!
Thank you, I will try to get flight from london to Rome ❤
Great video , ill try it
Hey thanks that was great deal i learned something helpful today i am going to look right now
I didn't even know about google flights before this video. Thanks for sharing and explaining how to use the tool for booking flights to save money
the government doesn't like one-way flights.
my head exploded when you clicked "explore" that first time. and now ilysm
This is so helpful.
It doesn't work at all for Asia. The prices are in thousands of dollars.
If your Asian just use Trip. or Skyscanner.
What if you have a destination (Nepal), but want to find the cheapest flight from any airport in the world? Then one could see how much each connection is from your home airport.
Good video and I’d be keen however to get your thoughts on these online 3rd partly online booking agents you see on Google Flight and also Skyscaner. Often their prices are somewhat cheaper than what the airlines are offering. To avoid any hassles at the airport and for easy online check in, I always prefer to book with the airlines directly. But in some cases the prices quoted are a lot less and very tempting but I am very dubious of them. What’s your position on these online travel agencies and I’ll include some the prominent hotel booking sites that are also doing this? Have you made a video on this or maybe even it could be a topic for a future one?
