Most of our best memories (and stories) come from trips we’ve taken. Some were incredible international adventures while others were ridiculously cheap road trips across different parts of the U.S. It’s been said that travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer, and we’re inclined to agree. Our guest today does too. Kyle Potter is the Executive Editor at Thrifty Traveler, a site dedicated to helping people travel more for less. He’s been to more than 30 countries, and his passion is helping people navigate the confusing world of airlines, travel points, and miles. We don’t even want to know how many miles Kyle’s got sitting around, but we do know he’s willing to spend a few of them on a nice bottle of champagne from time to time. Today we discuss:
How fuel prices, supply & demand, and competition impact ticket prices
Saving the most by being flexible and following the deals
Why you should plan to splurge
Booking a more expensive ticket allows you to save
Researching fares after booking
Packing smarter and traveling lighter to save
How Kyle saves when renting cars
Roundtrip tickets to Dublin for $134
And much more!
