About

Planning our travels is a full-time job in itself. We spend countless hours researching the best flights, unique places to stay, and activities on every new site we visit and seeking out the scene. Furthermore, we know that time is money.
That’s why we wanted to make the planning as easy as possible for you. We’ve compiled a list of the tools and services we use to plan our travels, which we hope will be as valuable to you as it has proven.

Fly like a bird

Travel resources - Research for the flights

The price isn’t everything. The value is. That’s why in this part, we will present, in our view, the best resources for searching for flights on the web. Additionally, you can also check our article.

Skyscanner is our favorite resource for researching flights because it has the widest variety of airlines, including all those local ones you’ve probably never heard of, thereby maximizing your options. It’s clear and simple to use and also has an excellent user friendly app.

Google Flights lets you enter your departure airport and see flights all over the world in a map so you can see where the cheapest destination is. It’s a good search engine to get a sense of routes, connections, and fares.

 

Airtreks is a leader in round the world tickets. Their booking engine will allow you to construct itineraries using multiple airlines so you can piece together the best deals. And their staff is excellent and really knows their stuff! Win-win!

Momondo searches a great number of different airlines, including many budget carriers as major sites are missing. While we always begin with Skyscanner, we will also check this website also to compare prices.

Transportation with the bus or with the train
