The 7-step algorithm to finding the absolute BEST flight tickets - KIFT newsletter

Dear Minimalist Explorer, It's a pleasure to have you here. This will be a biweekly newsletter by the KIFT team, giving you all sorts of useful information about minimalist travel, alternative lifestyles, powerful routines and nomadism. As summer is the time of vacations and travelling, we start with the ultimate 7-step algorithm to always buying THE BEST flight tickets. If you are ready, follow along: 👉 Step 1: Be ready to be flexible. Flexibility with the dates and locations helps with finding the best adventure for the cheapest price. Write down your date options. 👉 Step 2: Get ready to dive deep into the sea of ticket searching. The finest deals are not easily stumbled upon with a single click. Dedicate a bit more time to unearth hidden gems that others may overlook. 👉 Step 3: Master the art of incognito mode. Keep your savvy flight-searching skills a secret. By avoiding prying eyes, you can avoid sneaky price increases meant only for you. Your travel dreams deserve the best value! 👉 Step 4: Do not open any flight search yet. Open google maps instead, type in your desired destination or destinations and find all the airports in a still acceptable commute range. Do the same with your departure airports. If you just want to go without knowing where, skip this step. 👉 Step 5: Time for action! Now that you've completed steps 1-4, it's finally time to unleash the flight search wizardry. Visit kiwi.com, where the magic takes flight. Add all your departure and arrival airports, along with your desired date range. Let the possibilities unfold before your eyes. Make sure to first try to buy the tickets straight from the airline and only if it is more expensive there, try other options like Kiwi, Skyscanner or Momondo. 👉 Step 6: Find all the possibilities and put them down on a sheet. Now, if you are on a budget, check every itinerary on skiplagged.com and expedia.com just in case. Expedia sometimes buys tickets when they are cheap and then sells them to you significantly cheaper. Skiplagged might be able to cut your ticket price by half if you are lucky! You will just have to skip the last leg of your journey (only thing is, you can not check in luggage). Yeah, travel hacking stuff is cool, we know. 👉 Step 7: Consider a variety of destinations and dates. Do not buy immediately unless it is already very cheap or the date is closer than a month - come back three more times throughout the week. Try to avoid buying from flight search engines - go directly to the airline. Consider commuting to your final destination by a quick train or coach ride from a cheaper airport. You will be surprised how quickly you can move across Europe by land for example. And voila! You've unlocked the 7-step process to discover the absolute best flight tickets! Try it out and share your experience with us. Here´s a random question for you: How do minimalist explorers communicate with each other while on adventures? They send messages through carrier pigeons, of course! It's the ultimate minimalist messaging service. Until next time KIFT team Powered by beehiiv
