I'm a YWAMer so that means I travel. And it seems like that means the travel budget is always a bit tight! So I'm constantly on the lookout for travel resources that can help me save some money. Here are two things I've found in the last few months that have helped me out:
Scott's Cheap Flights
This is an email list, (I know, right?! How 90's!). Every couple of days Scott sends me an email with some insane cheap fares to random places around the world.
Here are a few things you should know:
- Scott focuses on international flights from the USA.
- There's a premium list that gets the info earlier… for $15/quarter or $39/year.
- You gotta act fast because the fares Scott finds don't last long!
If you're in the US, you can't lose by signing up for the free one and if you find it working for you, upgrade!
The Points Guy
This is a site (that also has an email list) that focuses on how to compare and maximize all those frequent flier programs.
Here are a few things you should know:
- TPG tends to focus more on the premium end of the points world and not so much on the budget end.
- There's also a lot of good info about different airlines and even their planes
- Again, pretty US focused, but still lots of info that would be useful if you live outside North America.
Again, you can't go wrong by signing up for the Deal Alert email list and seeing if it's helpful to you.
