about

Long story short, I'm from Los Angeles, went to an amazing school, left the US and moved to the Middle East. I've been backpacking around Europe and the Middle East on and off since August 2013.

Quite frankly, I'm sarcastic way more than I should be. Read a few of my answers, and you'll see that I am not totally mean to anyone.

Type correctly or go home. Yes, that is an ultimatum.

There are so many travel sites to choose from now, I don't even know where to start! In your opinion, which is the best website to get a great deal on plane flights? At least, which one(s) have you had the best luck with?

I've been pretty successful with skyscanner.net and kayak.com. Skyscanner is nice because it will show you flights from a specific destination to anywhere in the world. And if you don't know where that "anywhere" is, just type "everywhere" in the destination field and the site will show you the cheapest flights.

I would advise trying to book through the airlines directly (and not through travel agents, petas.gr, etc.). I've recently learned that you lose a lot of protections offered by the airline when you book through third parties.

It also REALLY depends on where you're going (which you didn't specify in your question). I've dealt mostly with international flights in Europe and Mexico. Someone else may be able to give more insight on American flights (if that's where you're from).

Have an amazing trip; travel is the best thing ever!
