Overtourism, Cheap Flights, and the Local Economy

I’m pulling one of my favorites from the archive for this week's episode!

If you want to learn the secret to finding cheap flights, listen to Scott Keyes.

Scott took his passion for finding cheap flights and sharing deals with friends and turned it into the uber-successful Going (formerly Scott’s Cheap Flights), a service that tracks airfare prices and alerts its 2+ million members to exceptional airfare deals.

He is also the author of Take More Vacations: How to Search Better, Book Cheaper, and Travel the World, a timely guide for anyone hoping to turn vacations from once a year into many more.

Scott is the world’s foremost expert in finding the cheapest flight deals and loves helping you save money so you can travel more. If you’re curious about what it takes to find the best deals on flights, his methodology, best practices when booking, the mindset you need to have when booking flights, and much more, then you will not want to miss this episode!

Which of Scott’s techniques will you use for booking your next trip? I'd love to hear about your experience and hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.
