Do you need tips for finding cheap flights? Here is your video! After booking more than 500 flights since 2012, I explain my best tips, tricks and strategies for finding cheap airfare in under 4 minutes. I've been wanting to make this video for over a year now, but never got around to it because it's really tedious to make (and I wanted to have adequate footage of airplanes & airports)... I was finally convinced to make it after many of your comments on my last video, saying that flights are holding you back from traveling. I literally spent 10 hours today editing this one, so I hope you find it useful! If you have any other tips that aren't mentioned, please share them in the comments below so everyone can benefit! ► Subscribe for more travel videos: http://bit.ly/2hyQnZ1 ► Travel Blog: https://drewbinsky.com/ FIND ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drewbinsky/ (I post more videos there!)

Why don't you just start Binsky Air? Non stop party on-board.
Am i the only one who wonders why he says on his channel that is last name is Binsky, when at 0:58, it says his last name is Goldberg.
There are some exceptions to the "Don't Fly on a Holiday" rule. In the U.S., The day before Thanksgiving is one of (if not, the) busiest travel days of the year, but Thanksgiving day itself sees very little traffic, since most people spend that day with their families. Because of this, when I wanted to start my Christmas vacation in Europe last year, I found the best NYC➡️London deal to be on Thanksgiving day itself.
TIP 1: ALWAYS HAVE ENOUGH MONEY
Thanks for this Drew! I am the budget airline queen lol so this video was right up my alley. Thanks for touching on the topic of booking on Tuesday, when I hear people say that it kinda makes me cringe because its so not true. But like you said flying on a Tuesday or Wednesday are typically cheaper. But I def agree with you about being flexible. I say that on my blog ALLLLLLL the time. Thanks for this Drew I loved it! Especially the layover city/one leg tip. Thanks so much!
Kayak is not the cheapest. On the contrary it is perhaps the most expensive.
Thank you so much for this video! I needed to book a flight from the Netherlands (Amsterdam) to Belarus (Minsk), the original price was €650 but i got it down to €450 with your tips which is a crazy amount of saved money haha
I would prefer momondo than Kayak
I thought I was pretty good at finding flights, but now I have seen this video and I see the difference. I am excited to try several one way flights for December. For example, I was looking at flight in my area to Miami, and then I realized it was about $90 cheaper each way to book to Fort Lauderdale which is only 30 minute North. Oh, and flights to San Francisco are expensive from here, but a one way flight to Vegas is way cheaper, direct, and I could add the flight to San Francisco for $30 from Vegas. Thank you so much Drew! I think I may be older than you, but I want to be like you when I grow up.
You didn't mention the budget airlines ( Ryan, easyJet etc) check in luggages ~ same price as flight tickets e.g. ~€25 for 20Kg within Europe, but 1standard back Pk allowed
You are not just a traveler but a great educator.
Booking late at night works! Even full flights have seats open suddenly late at night. I saved over a hundred bucks multiple times by booking around 1am
The incognito searching is absolutely correct... I have seen that after I search for a flight the price always goes up after a few days... I always felt that they are targeting just me..
Just me. I've found skyscanner consistently better than kayak or google for flight prices ( round trip). I also hold a membership to Scott's cheap flight. They just sent me a $550 south usa or california/chicago to India round trip 400-500$. Most europe or asia flights outta NY can be done for $550 or less often less if you wait for their promo deals and act very fast
Good tips Drew, and yes they do work, I have tried many of your tips already, but I like the one about going incognito, never knew that one.
I have another way, just have a friend that's a flight attendant because whoever canceled their flight you can take their place but you cant switch seats
Norwegian is the best budget airline in Europe, they even fly to other continents to
WOW just stumbled on your channel, and I LOVE everything about it!! Thanks for these tips as well :)
dude you're the reason why i still watch youtube great videos, keep it up.
Hey drew u forgot about one thing, for instance in europe and also from russia and israel u have a lot of charter tickets wich flights u wouldnt find on kayak or on google, for an instance like a charter flight from stockholm to the canaries u can get as low as 30usd or from Oslo to Bangkok as low as 100usd, keep in mind that charterflights is also possible for u to book and can get u great deals.
