“I wish I’d traveled more when I had the chance,” is one of the most common regrets older people have when looking back on their life.

And it’s a big reason I wrote Take More Vacations: How to Search Better, Book Cheaper, and Travel the World.
 
 
Take More Vacations: How to Search Better, Book Cheaper, and Travel the World.
 
 
The book—which comes out tomorrow!—certainly covers my secrets to finding cheap flights, but more importantly, it’s about why they’re so life-changing.

Cheap flights do so much more than save money; they let you take more, better, and happier trips, and eliminate that post-vacation hangover because as soon as you get back, it’s time to start planning your next trip a few months away.

But more than anything, I wrote Take More Vacations to ensure that unlike most people, “I wish I’d traveled more” isn’t one of your later-in-life regrets.
 
 
Pre-order the book
 
 
 
 
But Scott, you're preaching to the choir. I know cheap flights exist and I know you can find them for me. What else could this book teach me?

I’m glad you asked! Take More Vacations will teach you why the normal way of searching for flights inadvertently undercuts our ability to get a good deal. It goes over answers to the basics—when to book? where to book?—and more advanced tactics, like building your own layovers and how the 24-hour rule is the hidden secret to never missing a Mistake Fare. And I devote a whole chapter to the single most frequent question I’m posed: how to get a cheap flight if you don’t have flexibility.

To give a sneak peek, here’s the Table of Contents:
  1. You Don’t Take Enough Vacation: The Curse of Expensive Flights
  2. Travel as Medicine: How Cheap Flights Lead to Happier Trips (and More of Them)
  3. The Flight First Method: A Better Way to Search
  4. Flexibility: Using It to Your Advantage (and What to Do When You Don’t Have Any)
  5. Then and Now: A Brief History of How Airlines Determine Prices
  6. The Golden Age of Cheap Flights: How and Why Everyone Can Now Afford to Fly
  7. Unpredictable and Irrational: Why Airfare Is So Volatile
  8. The Fundamentals: Answers to Everyday Flight-Booking Questions
  9. Clear Your Cookies: Nine Flight-Booking Myths Debunked
  10. Should You Take That Trip? How to Think about Overtourism and Emissions
  11. The Unexpected Joys of Travel: How to Get Better at Vacationing

A million thanks to those of you who have already pre-ordered, and my undying love for those of you who do so today.

Love,
Scott

P.S. If you’re planning to get the book, the best way you can possibly do so is (a) order today, because pre-orders count towards Week 1 bestseller list sales numbers, and (b) order from your favorite independent bookseller. (Indiebound has a great list of booksellers near you, including online sales.)

P.P.S. To celebrate launch day, I’ll be holding a Butterball Turkey-style Hotline all day tomorrow, May 11. Call the Cheap Flights Hotline—202-813-0644—with your travel questions and I’ll personally be fielding as many as I possibly can.

Isolated beach with coral in Maldives.
 
 
Deals to the Maldives, a string of 1192 islands in the Indian Ocean known for their sugar sand beaches and aquamarine water, don’t come around too often, so this one from last week was pretty exciting. Typical prices are $1,500+ roundtrip but this deal saw prices as low as $806 with departures from LA, SF, NYC, and DC for travel through March 2022.

Q.
“I have a credit from just under a year ago on Swiss Air Lines. The problem is that the credit is expiring at the end of May (and I’d have to fly by Dec 30), and it’s especially challenging to find flights from Phoenix that specifically use Swiss. Any tips on how I might be able to get the most options?” - Member Nick W.

A.
“We just sent a deal for a flight on Swiss and Lufthansa from Phoenix last week, but it's expired now. In any case, LAX is definitely the best bet. They have decent fares right now to Switzerland, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, and Poland. There will likely be some other interesting options before the end of May, so I'd pick out some cities that you might want to visit and set price alerts out of Los Angeles to see what pops in the next few weeks.”
