Excellent info. As a former travel agent, booking directly with the airline is best even if a bit more expensive. If things go sideways, they can easily fix it but if you booked with a reseller or agency you are stuck with whatever they can or are willing to do. Plus fees.

Bad Experience with Kiwi. You might want to do a video on this so others don't fall into the same trap. I booked with Kiwi for HNL to Sdf flight 3 months in advance. Good fare basic economy tickets on Hawaiian and Spirit. Paid for the tickets. 1 month later kiwi tells me Spirit cancelled their flight. Kiwi tells me they can try to get my money back, but once you say okay, it is non revocable. A day later kiwi tells me they got a credit from Spirit for the flight good only for 2 months, and that the Hawaii flight was cancelled with no refund. So basically by letting them try to cancel, I got screwed. Couldn't even use the Hawaiian ticket anymore to get to the mainland. This was all two months in advance. I'll never use kiwi again. Like you said, find the flights with them, and do the rest yourself.

Been using ITA for years and love it. I'll look for another video about it from you. I can always learn something new!

The Google Flights recommendation was a winner for me on it's own!! Thank you for mentioning and I'm sure I will rewatch and explore some of the other engines later as well.

Kiwi wanted to charge me 50 USD for the second baggage from Chicago to Frankfurt via Istanbul . In the Airline regulations of Turkish Airlines it was stated that the 2nd baggage is free. So I booked directly over Turkish Airlines and saved 50 USD in contrast to Kiwi. Happened last year in June. So check, doublecheck and then check it again.

He clearly stated he recommends booking with the airline directly and not through Kiwi.

Loving your channel. You get right to the point.

Awesome information, thank you so very much! We will be traveling a lot starting in the fall and will want to economize by finding the least expensive flights.

David, can't wait to try some of your ideas to get my wife and I back to the Philippines. Great stuff.

Used Kiwi for cheapest direct from Europe to Southeast Asia. Well who would have known Athens Singapore route exists direct for 200 bucks. Amazing tool if flexible.
-
Interesting video but I never use these sites. I book directly with the airlines because, in the long run in my case at least, it's easier to manage flights directly with the airlines. Okay, I'll never get a first class ticket for $700 instead of over $3,000 but I do get points for my flights and usually end up with enough for a couple of nights for free each year in pricier hotels in major cities. 😊

What I see right now is that airlines artificially keep the number of flights low to charge approximately 50% more than before COVID. Having less flights they pack airplanes full and often overbook (I hear them announcing it at the gate that the flight is overbooked and they need someone to agree to fly with another flight). Having their flights overbooked they have very little stimulus to offer discounts. That's why I could not find any discounted flight from my town in Canada to Bangkok for September-October using the mentioned websites though it is the low season. Probably, the situation is better when you fly from the USA but when you travel from Canada it is expensive like hell.

Seatguru isn't maintained well anymore. Aerolopa is a greay alternative and kept updayed for the moment. Great video.
