    Great tips on using Google Flights AND to book directly from the airline when possible!! I usually use Orbitz, but on some of my more extensive/long trips, I like going through the airline. Saves time when trying to make modifications during travel.

    that's really great, I have tried google flights, and I do find cheapest flights but sometimes those are not available.

    • @DavidGTravels
      @DavidGTravels  Před 5 měsíci +1

      This is a great point. Every so often google flights will show you what's known as "cached" prices, meaning prices that were recently bookable (usually within hours or even minutes), but have since changed.
      Sometimes that's not the case though, and google flights just doesn't give you a link to the best website to book on. When that happens all you have to do is go to the airline's website.

    clicking carry on button on is important to not get misleading prices which are displayed as very cheap with the charters

    • @DavidGTravels
      @DavidGTravels  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Not sure I get your comment - do you mean checking the carry-on box in Google Flights to avoid airlines that don’t allow normal-sized carry-on bags?

    • @dimebagg1
      @dimebagg1 Před 4 měsíci

      Oh well one of the most important filters and perhaps one that novice bookers may omit the most due to inexperience may be not checking the Carry on box when it makes a huge diff in price of the flights they’re searching … esp on charters esp in Europe. Wizz, Ryan, easyj. You took the time to in detail comment on almost all the options in the filter row. Anyways found you today and your content and delivery is amazing. Thank you

      Totally get what you mean 👍 definitely make sure to verify on the airline’s website when booking, too. The last thing you want is to show to the airport and realize your bag is too big.

      You’ve got carry on and checked bag options in google flights, but I’d recommend always checking directly on the airline’s website and aiming to book there when possible too.

    You know you can just click though to the airlines website from Google flights instead of manually going to the website and entering all the info again?

    • @DavidGTravels
      @DavidGTravels  Před 5 měsíci

      Sometimes this is the case, but it depends on the airline and the exact flights. For example, most intra-EU flights on Lufthansa won't show a direct link in google flights.

    • @DavidGTravels
      @DavidGTravels  Před 3 měsíci

      Generally not, but it depends on what exactly you’re looking for. Flights to Madrid from Mexico City would often be cheaper than flights to Madrid from a small airport in California for example.
