Hi there!
It’s me again!
I recently shared some pictures from Spain as well as Portugal. It seems everyone has travel plans for 2023, so I’m here to help you act on those plans.
Did you know you can fly internationally for about $400-$600 Round-trip Non-Stop?
I’m not joking.
I’ve been travelling internationally for vacation since 2017, besides Covid year, and I’ve done it for less than $600 round-trip each time and flown non-stop on airlines like Singapore Airline, Delta, and Thomas Cook (RIP).
How?
I use 2 things.
Google Flights to book my flights, or figure out where to book my flights.
Scott’s Cheap Flights to find deals
Google Flights
Google Flights is how I research flight prices as well as book my flights.
Right now, there’s a flight deal - $500 Non-stop flights from Los Angeles & San Francisco - to Barcelona Spain and that’s available between January to April, and October of 2023.
Airlines: American, (Iberia - it’s the most decent of the 4, and co-operates with American Airlines), Level (This is a budget airline so maybe skip this) and United
Once I find something I like, I proceed to use book is through Google which often times leads me to the airline’s direct website with my selected search, or for more modern airlines, I’ll go through a Google Checkout screen.
But how do I know what deals are out there?
Scott’s Cheap Flights
The reason I know of travel deals a lot more than others, for cheap.
I am a Premium Subscriber to Scott’s Cheap Flights (That’s a referral link ;) ). This is an email deal aggregator that sends you notices, usually 10+ a day, on travel deals based on your designated airport and desired mega list of destinations. You can sign up for a free one, or you can pay for annual subscription (Premium is fine, elite is excessive).
Proof:
I have been flying with my SO to Europe, Canada, and Japan - all through flight deals, since 2017. We take 1 international trip outside the North American continent per year.

Here’s my referral link if you want in.
Honorable Mention:
Slickdeals Travel is also a pretty decent, community site. There was an intense amount of Amtrak Vacations recently. Extremely useful for US domestic flights, as well as hotels, cruises, and trains.
Enjoy.
Get travelling! ;)
