    Flights Are Getting Pricier! (*here’s how to pay less*) w/ Kyle Potter #1133

    Most of our best memories (and stories) come from trips we’ve taken. Some were incredible international adventures while others were ridiculously cheap road trips across different parts of the U.S. It’s been said that travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer, and we’re inclined to agree. Our guest today does too. Kyle Potter is the Executive Editor at Thrifty Traveler, a site dedicated to helping people travel more for less. He’s been to more than 30 countries, and his passion is helping people navigate the confusing world of airlines, travel points, and miles. We don’t even want to know how many miles Kyle’s got sitting around, but we do know he’s willing to spend a few of them on a nice bottle of champagne from time to time. Today we discuss: How fuel prices, supply & demand, and competition impact ticket prices Saving the most by being flexible and following the deals Why you should plan to splurge Booking a more expensive ticket allows you to save Researching fares after booking Packing smarter and traveling lighter to save How Kyle saves when renting cars Roundtrip tickets to Dublin for $134 And much more!
