Finding the best travel deals is a matter of timing.<\/p>\n

A lot of people think travel is just expensive, but in reality, there are incredible deals happening all the time. They often don\u2019t last too long, and you have to act quickly. That can sometimes be a problem when a deal requires jumping on a plane tomorrow (how many people can do that?).<\/p>\n

Fortunately, most deals are for months in the future, giving you ample time to plan your schedule.<\/p>\n

Often I will book a flight and then<\/em> figure out my plans. <\/p>\n

Since you can usually cancel a flight within 24 hours without incurring a fee, I lock in the deal and then figure out if I can make it work. Sometimes I can (like the $1,200 USD business-class flight from LA<\/a> to Stockholm<\/a> round-trip); sometimes I can\u2019t (like the $400 USD New Zealand<\/a> flights I had to cancel).<\/p>\n

I am always looking out for deals.<\/p>\n

Today, I want to tell you where I go for travel deals, tips, and expert advice. After all, these resources focus solely on this one aspect of travel, so why not use them? I can\u2019t know everything, so I rely on specialists. If travel were a hospital, I would be your general practitioner. <\/p>\n

Here’s a quick look at the top companies I use and suggest:<\/p>\n

Where to Find the Best Flight Deals<\/h3>\n

\"Rows
\nWhen it comes to finding flight deals, I use these four websites for last-minute deals. There are always finding new (and tempting) last minute flights \u2014 often for a fraction of what you would pay otherwise. <\/p>\n

My go-to website for cheap flight deals is Going.com<\/a>. Formerly Scott’s Cheap Flights, this is an awesome resource for finding flight deals from the US. They offer free flight alerts, and with a premium membership<\/a> you get access to even more deals as soon as they find them. (New users can get 20% off Premium with the code NOMADICMATT20.)<\/p>\n

Three other great websites to use are:<\/p>\n
