Now its actually pretty manageable affording to travel as much as I do, simply because I have learnt to manipulate a website www.skyscanner.com to find me the cheapest flights on offer. Maybe everyone already knows this.. but my mind was blown when I learnt about it.
Thanks to my sidekick Jordan who has stars in his eyes when it comes to travel, I was shown ways to find the cheapest destinations as well as cheapest times of year to travel.
Its simple. Just a matter of searching a city or country and being as vague or exact as you want. You can simply choose your departure city and destination as everywhere, a country or a specific city.
Dates can be chosen as whole years, months or days.
If you are flexible, you then can go through the next year to see what the cheapest dates are. It shows all flights as they are looked at by other people and updated as requested.
Sometimes this can be inaccurate but most the time is spot on.. $69 one way flights from Bali to Perth, $780 Perth to dublin return (a rare find), $373 Perth to Ho Chi Minh return and $1490 Melb to Cabo return are just a few of the random fares at low prices I have seen.
Even without booking flights, its my favourite website to checkout. Dreaming about all the amazing places I could go. The map function shows even more unusual destinations, making the world your oyster!
