    Get a job with an airline (even part time), that is the cheapest way to travel. Any job with an airline comes with free standby travel benefits. You can travel anywhere in the world even in business class for virtually nothing. Also, it's actually not smart to buy tickets from third party websites. If you buy a ticket from Skyscanner, Orbitz or whatnot, if there are issues with your flight, the airline will NOT help you because your ticket is held by the third party company, not the airline. It will be up to the third party company to find you accommodations and assistance (good luck with that).

    I did the Delta ticket change hack just now after watching the video, got $100 in credit!

    • @observer698
      @observer698 Před měsícem +3

      I didn't get the hack. She said get another ticket from the same flight? and then what? ask for a return from the other one, cancel it?

    • @whimsical_flower
      @whimsical_flower Před měsícem +1

      @@observer698 if your flight is cheaper now than when you bought it, you can either cancel and take the credit and rebook or “change flight” to another one that is the same price as the new proce, so you get the credit. Then “change flight” back to the original flight. That’s the method I did, even chose my same seat because it only takes minutes. Hope that makes sense.

    Just came back from Hawaii. Hotel and flights were free (but have to pay taxes and resort fees) using credit card points. Can't complain tho, hotels and flights would have been over $5700. I only pay a few hundred.

    Did an air france discounted upgrade at check-in from economy to premium economy; the seats were noticeably wider but not much else. Food was the same although someone said that they might upgrade it. Anyways, I got priority boarding and increased luggage allowance all the way to my final destination despite only upgrading one segment. If you need a wider seat, more bags or priority security/boarding than it might be worth it.

    I am studying abroad in France and trying to plan a trip for my grandparents to come out and do about a 2 week loop starting from Lyon, visiting the south of France, Italian riviera and the Alps. I am trying to book hotels with points I have been saving up for this. My grandparents are so excited and my Nana said she always wanted to visit Europe and thought they never would get the chance. Unfortunately the flights for end of June are insane, and they of course are not comfortable with multiple layovers as they do not fly often, so flights with 1 stop or less are even worse. I am trying to plan everything but it is adding up quickly.

    The part of traveling that is too costly are the hotels. I’m tired of spending $500 on flights, $500 on food and fun, but $1000 on a hotel.
    I’m starting to wonder if I should look into seedy motels for a bargain. I agree about Airbnb, not worth it.

    I’m curious about the tip “do not get an Airbnb” because I always get called out by my friends for getting a hotel instead. Personally, I just prefer a hotel stay and the service, but my friends often tell me I’m “wasting money” by not choosing an airbnb option. Can anyone help me out by explaining this one?

    • @applefarm6126
      @applefarm6126 Před měsícem +9

      It's subjective, but I've heard bad things about Air B&B if a hotel works for you, use it. Don't let people try to peer pressure you into doing something you don't like.

    I disagree, travel is the ONLY thing I’m willing to go into debt for. Okay NOT thousands of
    Dollars but if I want a weekend trip every 6 months and can’t afford it, I’m taking it. Period. Life is too short to stay stationary.

    Like the content, but if you're already RICH why plug SoFi or any other advertiser on your video. Does speaking in front of a camera and uploading it to YT really cost that much money? Why not avoid the appearance of bias and give your viewers a list of HYSA banks?
