✈️ new video on Google Flights is live

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

TGIF! Happy Friday.

I'm heading to the ice castle this weekend with Miss S. She has requested we play hide and seek in the tunnels... Which may or may not happen depending on how small they are (and if I can handle crawling around on my hands & knees for more than 5 minutes).

Following up on my Mastering Google Flights: Secrets to Snagging Cheap Airfare post a couple of weeks ago, there were quite a few of you who were interested in a video walk through.

So here you go:

✈️ Quick video walk through of Google Flights

If you're prefer a free & DIY approach to finding cheaper flights check it out.

It can help you:

  • Find cheaper tickets & destinations for specific dates
  • Explore all destinations & dates to find the cheapest destination over the next 6 months or so
  • Track your preferred flights so you receive email updates of price changes
  • Filter by one or more airports to find the cheapest airport to leave from & more.

Apparently I like to say so....... so...... just ignore that :). It's under 30 minutes, but feel free to watch at 1.2x or 1.5x speed to get all the gems in faster.

Hope that helps.

Any questions? Just hit reply and I am happy to help if I can.

Hey Reader, Do you ever have one of those weeks where things just don't seem to click? That’s me right now. I mean overall life is pretty okay but dang. Our fridge is on its last legs. It literally hurts my face to go outside, it's so cold right now. And I have no idea how to help the kid with this newfangled math. With so much going on I feel like I'm constantly dropping the ball & forgetting some important things. But one thing that I did do right? Find cheap flights for our next family...

Hey Reader, How was your weekend? Ours was pretty fun, as there was a Malanka celebration for Ukranian New Years. And while we aren't Ukranian (our ancestors are from England, Norway & China), my daughter is in Ukranian dance. There's a very welcoming community here in Yellowknife, Canada & she has friends in it that got her excited to try. We feasted on tasty foods, watched kids dance performances, and danced to the dj afterwards. POLL RESULTS So the moment I know you've all been waiting...

Hey Reader, Happy New Year! Just getting back into the swing of things. We've hit a cold snap here, after a super mild December - We're now at Extreme Cold Warnings (-40C / -40F before windchill). Questioning my life choices this morning lol. I thought I'd do a fun little poll, since it's so cold outside, If you had woken up to an extreme cold warning for the past week, what would you do? Click your choice below. a) Book a beach vacation immediately b) Hide under the covers with a good book...
