Great video.
So helpful miss Megan.Keep it up 🎉🎉
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you!
Welcome! Glad you liked it, Cody.
Thank you so much for all your content!!! (you already saved me money and headaches) I have a question, would you happen to know any insurance in case you are not allowed entering the country (because you have covid medical exception or your vaccine status is somehow disapproved)?
easy to understand...perfect. Thank you!
That is great to hear! Happy travels!
As usual very helpful.
Thank you so much!
Good video. I was unaware of that linkage between Google Flights and the airlines' booking systems.

Good morning Megan, Hope that you had a great weekend. I have heard that the best day to book flights is Tuesday. Is there a best day to book the hotel. Is it better to try to get a package deal with the airfare. What is your favorite hotel search engine? Thanks for your help, All the best, Lonnie
happy easter! :)
Thank you, Zoe! Happy Easter to you as well!
Nice video
❤thank you
Thanks so much
You're very welcome!
Thank you! I am going to book my first flight soon 😊
That’s great! Hope you find the perfect flight!
This was hard for sombody thats never done this. Ive tried getting a flight by an airport near me but its not international. Then tried international airports and it doesn't show how to book a flight on thier website. Then tried searching for airlines and they didnt have any avaliable. All and all glad you made this video
Thumbs up 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Will you make a video on how to book a cruise for beginners please?
Good night
So after I finish book the flight do I print out the info of the ticket or do i need to go pick up from the airline office ?
Since you travel many times each year, do you purchase travel insurance by the trip or a policy that covers the whole year? Have you done a video on Travel Insurance?
I need a video after this one about what happens when you arrive at the airport do I need to bring a physical ticket ? Thanks
Thank you ma'am
You are most welcome 😊
Good morning, Megan. I noticed that your example only includes booking with an airline and not a third party travel agent. On a shorter flight, I still may consider a travel agent if they are substantially less than the airline. However, I mainly take international flights to Asia, where I stay 4-8 weeks. After having to come back early last October because my brother died, I realize now that airlines will not deal with your ticket unless you purchased directly from the airline. I had to get my ticket changed on Singapore Airlines and Singapore Airlines refused. BudgetAir had no phone number and didn’t respond to my email for 4 days, after I bought a one way ticket for $620 (mistakenly thinking that I was allowed 2 checked bags, which cost me dearly at check in).
I’ll check your link on your travel insurance and see if they have any Bereavement policies available. Thanks again!
My condolences in regards to your brother. Thanks for taking the time to share this.
Thanks for this video. It was very helpful! Can you use a debit card or paypal to pay for a flight domestically?
Can you please show me how to book a flight from Oklahoma City to Dothan Alabama please and thank you
Can you plz do a video about also booking a hotel
Very informative, does this still apply in 2024? Things are always changing.
How do I indicate leg room, and food allergies when booking a flight?
Its interesting its less expensive to fly from SFO to Bangkok than it is to Sepul and back from Vietnam to SFO via MNL. I got all flights SFO to BKK on Korean Air for $553 then to Ha Noi $88 and Saigin SFO vua Manilla after the tour $472.
Thank you so much! ma'am! ❤ Watching you from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Hello, from Canada! Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for the step by step guide but you could have added what to do after booking, like need for hardcopy prove of booking, as some of us first time travellers.
Good point! Thanks for watching!
Great video!
How are you?
I would like to know from you the following please:
Is there an health insurance company that you could possibly recommend that would cover the medical costs in Canada after returning from a 2 to 3 year absence abroad until OHIP kicks in again ?
Thank you!
Thanks, Fernando! I have never had to look into that type of insurance so have no recommendations to give you. Welcome back to Canada!
Just to be clear, when I head to the airport to print my tickets, will I have two or one? (One for the 1st departure and one from the second departure coming back home?)
I was also curious about this
But then how you remotely book a flight for a family member we're she is in another state to bring her to your state using your credit card. I never done this
Can you send me a link this site plaese ?
Does this site work for the Middle East?
Hi megan i have a question i want to go to california but i wanna live there how can i be book a one way flight❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Online booking--- almost an A-B-C ease -- I think, though--- exercise caution -- for--- many a tickets propeitors perpetually puzzling for new ways of taking the financial snobery out of prospective customers by harnessing increasingly complex observances of dealing.
Can you do a tutorial on how to book flights from us or Canada to Vietnam? Everyone recommend that I go through travel agency but it costs so much for some reason. I want to learn the good way to book flights to Vietnam as I want to go there. Thank you. Btw this video is useful.
It's the same thing you do for all countries as shown in the video 🤦🏽♂️
So after booking a flight, whats next?
Are there some low cost airlines, e.g. Southwest, that do not show on Goggle/flights?
Yes. It is always best to check other sites as well.
If I book it how do I get my tickets?
How much Dollar is for the kids
First 😉
Good luck on your next booking!
They make this process so confusing for no reason. Thanks
It’s hard for me to learn thing so I have 2 questions. 1. What is a carry on bag (not sure why it says $30 for 1 bag when a carry on bag is free). 2. 6 pm to 9 pm is a 3 hour flight, why does it say 6 hour flight?
1. Check in bag
2. Total is taking in the time difference. So even though flight leaves at 6 pm Eastern time, it arrives almost 6 hours later in Pacific time at 9 pm. When it's 6 pm in NY, it's only 3pm in CA. Flight arrives in CA at 9 pm. 3pm-9pm Pacific time equals 6 hours.
How can I get from UAE to Brazil in case the money I will give in Airport?
please help me.
What if i am going to stay in the country
Where is pasport number option
Hi Megan. If I understood... if I book from the US to another country... this 24 hr cancellation is still an option?
It is supposed to apply to all airlines travelling to/from and within the US. Please check in the airlines refund policy as there are some exceptions!
I'm scared of airplanes!
send instructions now
I never knew google flights was a thing lol I feel like a caveman 😂
It doesn’t look like your travel insurance will cover me. My 70th birthday was one week ago, on April 1st, and your insurance only goes to 69 years old. I guess that I’ll keep looking.
I am confident you will find an insurance that works for you! Safe travels, Dean.
@@PortableProfessional My next trip to Thailand will be January 1 to March 3. I have 4 siblings left, three of whom are older than I am. I’d better start looking soon for travel insurance that covers death of siblings.
i want to ask it is possible not to choose seats? and they will put seats automatically for u without charging u?
Yes, you will be assigned a seat at check in. Many airlines allow for free seat selection during the online check in time which starts 24-48 hours prior to your flight. You can change your assigned seat then for free but your selection will be more limited. Happy travels!
Where and how do you book for 2 people?
There is an icon to the right of "round trip" that lets you select the number of people to book for. Good luck with your booking, Sue!
I always book my flight and hotel package together on expedia to save money. Are there any advantages to book a flight directly on an airline website?
Hey I wanted to try Expedia but I haven’t bc I don’t know if it’s safe
So is it safe ?
What if i cannot get the google flights app?
No app to download. You just need to type Google Flights into your search bar. Good luck!
I don't ever travel by air. How do you get your tickets after making the booking? Can you pick it up at the airline's counter ahead of the time of flight? Or are the tickets mailed to you? I am looking at the cheap seat third party sellers. Thanks.
Lol, no, everything is electronic. You get an email confirmation of your flights, the day before you check in online, and you *can* print out a boarding pass at that point if you want, but most people just open the boarding pass in the airline app on their phone.
I think you can print out boarding pass at airport kiosk
@@louyht7 Yes, Thanks. I was told there are kiosks at the airport that will enter your flight confirmation and print out the ticket. I didn't know about this , since I never caught a plane for over 40 years.
I think if you book less than 24 hours before your flight, it's not refundable
Good point, Jim! I'll have to check that out.
@@PortableProfessional I've been hit with that so many times chasing hurricanes/typhoons. You book last minute and then rebook as the track changes.
can you rent a car from air port?
Yes! Most major airports have at least 1 car rental company on site.
frist time flying this year, so hope all goes well
@@PortableProfessional
Now show us way to get cheap flights 👀
They need to refund me no matter what . If somthing hammes to me .
They can ran away with all the money
Thanks so much
No problem. Good luck with your next booking!
