Worth the book $$ in the plane$$ saved!

So I've always wanted to travel the world since I was a kid。 Long story short, I married and had kids with the wrong girl and was trapped in a relationship with someone who wanted to sit in the house all day。 No traveling for me。 We separated a few years ago so no more excuses aside the expense of traveling。 I spent countless hours looking for the best deals and often still paid more for flights than I wanted to。 Then I saw a vlogger who said she finds insane deals on Scott's website。 I subscrib So I've always wanted to travel the world since I was a kid。 Long story short, I married and had kids with the wrong girl and was trapped in a relationship with someone who wanted to sit in the house all day。 No traveling for me。 We separated a few years ago so no more excuses aside the expense of traveling。 I spent countless hours looking for the best deals and often still paid more for flights than I wanted to。 Then I saw a vlogger who said she finds insane deals on Scott's website。 I subscribed immediately and never looked back。 Just booked flights to Toyko ($250) and Alaska ($275)- I live in Rochester, NY (Go Bills!)。 Got back from LA a few weeks ago。 No more spending hours looking for deals cause Scott's does it for me。 Naturally, when I heard he had a book coming out I pre-ordered it and read about half in one setting。 I finished the rest in the morning。 It's going to make me even more efficient in fulfilling my dream。 If you want to travel without breaking the bank, the website and book can change your life too。 。。。more

I’m going to keep this simple。 I am a seasoned traveler and I am great at finding good deals。 Having said this, there are many people in this world who do not know the art of finding good deals。 This book is for you! I am guessing the author will need to update this book much like Rick Steves does。 Already since the book has come out, airlines are now not charging change fees for domestic flights except for the most basic ticket。 Thanks to NetGalley for a complimentary copy of the book in exchan I’m going to keep this simple。 I am a seasoned traveler and I am great at finding good deals。 Having said this, there are many people in this world who do not know the art of finding good deals。 This book is for you!

Scott Keyes, of Scott's Cheap Flights, has now brought all of his knowledge to his new book, "Take More Vacations。" As a novice traveler who would love to visit more destinations, I found his book very helpful。 Most helpful was his assertion that it is best to start with the cheapest flights and then plan your trip around that, rather than the way most of us typically make vacation plans (date, destination, then flights)。 I also appreciate the tips he gave about which websites and methods are mo Scott Keyes, of Scott's Cheap Flights, has now brought all of his knowledge to his new book, "Take More Vacations。" As a novice traveler who would love to visit more destinations, I found his book very helpful。 Most helpful was his assertion that it is best to start with the cheapest flights and then plan your trip around that, rather than the way most of us typically make vacation plans (date, destination, then flights)。 I also appreciate the tips he gave about which websites and methods are most useful。 This book would be very helpful for anyone who is interested in traveling once the craziness of 2020 is over!Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

This book isn't really about vacations as much as cheap airfare。 If that's what you're looking for, this has lots of good tips。 At times it reads like a commercial for the author's web site, which offers free and paid memberships to track air travel deals。 If you're looking for lots of information about cheap air fare, this does have good tips。 Our family generally avoids air travel not just for price reasons but for environmental ones, which the author doesn't speak to。 Also, he says that one r This book isn't really about vacations as much as cheap airfare。 If that's what you're looking for, this has lots of good tips。 At times it reads like a commercial for the author's web site, which offers free and paid memberships to track air travel deals。 If you're looking for lots of information about cheap air fare, this does have good tips。 Our family generally avoids air travel not just for price reasons but for environmental ones, which the author doesn't speak to。 Also, he says that one reason cheap travel deals are available is because so many companies pay for employee travel package deals that cover a large portion of the cost of every flight (even empty ones) and I suspect that may change after covid-19 because so many companies have seen that many meetings can actually be done remotely。 I'm not sure how the tips will stack up a year or two from now when people want to fly again, but it's likely to still be of use。I read a digital ARC of this book for review。 。。。more

This book was written for me。 I have made travel decisions that have cost me and I have found travel bargains too。 The author explains the history of airline pricing and why there are more bargains now than there were ten years ago。 He shares why airfare isn't priced by miles traveled and why there aren't last minute deals to fill empty seats。 And if you follow his advice you might just get a travel adventure you never expected。 I have always said that I am always happier knowing I have another This book was written for me。 I have made travel decisions that have cost me and I have found travel bargains too。 The author explains the history of airline pricing and why there are more bargains now than there were ten years ago。 He shares why airfare isn't priced by miles traveled and why there aren't last minute deals to fill empty seats。 And if you follow his advice you might just get a travel adventure you never expected。 I have always said that I am always happier knowing I have another trip planned。 But now I have some research that back-ups my feelings。 A lot of the steps Keyes outlines I was familiar with but he does lay it out in simple ways and explaining why it works。 I have paid full airfares to get to Europe in summer because my child was school and that was the only window available。 But on my last three trips been I was able to take advantage of deals that have landed me Thanksgiving in London, and two winter trips to France。The prices he quotes I have never seen for Utah but I know my deal prices for flights in my market area。 And as suggested I have taken advantage of driving to other airports to save $100s of dollars。 This book admits that it can't book you the best price if you need to be at certain location on a certain date。 But if you are flexible and patient deals can be found。 As I said I found the guidance straight forward and informative。 The only game changer is what Covid-19 will do the market and airline industry。 I have passed on a few deals that I would have taken advantage of because certain countries don't allow travelers from the USA or the fear of where that country is in this pandemic fight。 All I can hope for is that as Covid-19 subsides I can put Keyes advice to work and start really traveling again。Thanks to NetGalley and Harper Wave and Harper Business for the ARC e-book in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
