Using Booking.com for Flight Deals? 🤔


Recently, I got detained and deported whilst trying to enter the US of A (it turns out the American government isn't a fan of Iranian passport stamps).

I'll share more on that next week...

But it was Booking.com that came to the rescue in finding me a cheap flight real fast to get me outta dodge. So I figured it'd be worth sharing it here.

Most of us know (and love) Booking for its vast selection of incredible stays.

But did you know they offer a flight booking experience as well?

"Right, but I use Skyscanner already... how is it any different?"

There is only one real way to find that out — FIGHT!!!!


Booking.Com vs. Skyscanner

This got us wondering, which IS the best platform to book flights on these days and so a mighty quest was launched with the whole team trying out a whole bunch of different flight platforms to find the ultimate winner...

We worked hard brushing up on the ancient art of scoring flight deals.

During this process, we quickly found that Booking.com appeared to have some of the best deals.

One of my favourite things about it is that, unlike others, you can plan and book an ENTIRE trip within the same platform.

We've published an entire review for you to see for yourself.

There is some extraordinary value to be had when you use their ‘Flight + Hotel’ function as well.

Ahoy, friends :) Recently, I went on a lifelong dream trip to visit my best buddy in the world in Colorado...

Guess what happens next. Upon arriving in the US, I am signalled into a sketchy airport backroom. Minutes later, I find myself stripped of all my stuff; my phone, my journal, and my freaking...
