Over the past couple years I’ve spent many late nights trolling for cheap airfares online. Through this process I’ve developed a full proof method for making sure that I always get the cheapest airfare currently available.

  • You’re gonna have to search multiple sites. There is no ONE website that you can use to get the lowest airfare every single time. There are many reasons for this but it would take way too long to explain, so just trust me on this one!
