What has been the cheapest flight you have bought?
About 16 hours a day tracking flights in GoogleFlights is what you would need to find real airline bargains. What happens is that… who has that time to do it?
Scott Keyes and his team do, and that is the reason why his website does not stop growing and getting more followers of this new religion called: You will love Scott because he finds you flights to Brazil for 300 euros.
Scott's story begins with a trip to Milan in 2013 for 105 euros, considering that he lives in New York, not bad at all. This city was not on his radar but for that price he would have gone anywhere in the world.
“It turned out to be an amazing trip. we went skiing to the Alps , we caught an AC Milan match, we took a trip to Cinque Terre and we went through Lake Como . It was divine”, he explains to Traveler.es.
Milan was Scott's first low-cost trip.
“When I got back, word spread among friends and co-workers. Dozens of them started asking me to let them know the next time I found such a rate. So, I decided to start a simple email list so I could notify everyone at the same time. and so was born Scott's Cheap Flights Scott adds.
this young man who I was going for a political journalist So she decided to leave his career and dedicate herself body and soul to his new business: search for flights international cheap online. "The 100% true and honest secret to finding them is spending 16 hours a day, every day, on Google Flights," he warns.
This is how he managed to create a business out of this, which he has kept growing since 2015. And that is also how he managed to take 34 flights in 2017, traveling 105,278 km . "I took a trip around the world in seven days with Dockers, visiting Portland, London, New Delhi and Hong Kong for less than 1,000 euros."
In fact, anyone could do it but, as he says, not everyone is willing to spend so many hours in front of the computer so their luck is that they trust someone to do it.
One of the keys to finding cheap flights is patience, don't wait too long for the departure date and don't book too early either. And above all: not to put your eyes and heart in a specific place. That is, let it be destiny who chooses you.
Perhaps the only handicap is keeping those offers for a long time for customers. Many of them are unpredictable and even company errors, so can only be guaranteed for 24 hours.
The better a rate, the less it will last. "Almost all the offers we send are unannounced sales, which have the best rates but are also unpredictable," Scott Keyes tells Traveler.es.
