Google Flights

I use Google Flight tracker to send me notifications of inexpensive flights. As flight dates get closer, airlines get more desperate to sell seats. They send out notifications of flights that have a lowered cost.

Tip

  • Overnight flights are great for sleeping, if you can manage to sleep. It’s not easy to acquire an overnight flight with this method (purposely) but it’s nice to have if it happens.
