Take More Vacations
Take More Vacations: How to Search Better, Book Cheaper, and Travel the World | Scott Keyes
4 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
The founder of Scott's Cheap Flights explains why we're searching for airfare all wrong, shares the strategies that have saved his two million newsletter subscribers a collective $500 million on airfare, and presents a bold new approach for how to travel the world. At some point, we are all going to be free to travel again, and when that time comes, Scott Keyes will be there to make sure we never overpay for flights again. Vacations are supposed to fun escapes, but the confusion of buying flights--not knowing when to book, where to buy, what to pay, or where to go--can erode the joy of travel. Though airfare can be unpredictable, it's not indecipherable. With an understanding of how airfare works and a new strategy for planning vacations, anyone can get up and go. Take More Vacations will first explain what's stopping us from traveling as much as we want to and the cognitive biases that push us to overpay for flights. Readers will discover why the traditional way of planning vacations undercuts our ability to enjoy them, and how a new approach can lead to cheaper fares and more trips. Next, Keyes explains why cheap flights never have to be inconvenient flights, and all the steps you can take to get a good fare even when you don't have flexibility. He lays out practical advice on when and where to book, the hidden reason to avoid budget airlines, and the surprising best week for international travel. He debunks myths (don't bother clearing your cookies), explains why airlines regularly sell $300 roundtrip flights to Europe, and shows how small airports actually get the best deals. Imagine if vacation planning was as fun as the trip itself. Take More Vacations challenges the conventional wisdom that it costs thousands of dollars to fly overseas and shows readers how to make previously unthinkable trips possible.

1. What is this "vacation" thing you speak of? ? On the rare occasions I get them, I usually have at least 5 with me.
2. 2 or 3 physical books, a couple on Libby and a few more on Audible.

paper.reveries I used to take physical books! Now I just take my Kobo. :) I will typically always find a used bookstore, though, and come home with more than I arrived with. 😂😂 2y
RamsFan1963 @daisyheadmaesie To me that's the best part of a vacation, especially a new place I've never been, hunting down used book stores and Indie books stores. 2y

I‘ve been filling SCF on Twitter for a while now & once I‘m feeling comfortable enough with covid to travel again I‘ll definitely be signing up. This book has more than that though...a different way of thinking about vacation. The #1 thing to get out of this book is to think “flight first” instead of “destination first”. Also, take more vacations - the whole process of planning, going, returning makes you happier.
