hello ladies and gentlemen welcome to my channel
today i’m going to give you tips on how to cut down costs while traveling significantly so you
want to travel internationally and you want to get the best possible rates for any specific
time so how do you go about it we’ll assume that in this case you’re traveling between nairobi
to london and we are assuming that you are traveling between 21st december to 28th again
uh if it could be later it could be now but one of the best tips i could be able to offer you
is if it is a personal travel and it is if it is known in advance for you to cut down significantly
the best tip i can give is to book in advance this is because when you book in advance there is
a lot less demand for periods that are long and because of this the prices are usually
much much lower but when you book a week two or two days to the prices might be high because
they have already uh cut even on their the amount of money they need to be able to break even and
they indeed may find that they have more demand as the days go by because of business travelers
who again are price and elastic in them in means which means that they they are going for business
and the employer is one who is paying and so they are not as affected by price and so that’s why
flights uh that are being booked within a week usually tend to be higher but an additional tip
that i could give you to be able to cut down cost while traveling is to book is to go uh to an
airport and look at the flights that are going to your specific location especially direct flights
to where you want to go and ask the people who are checking in if there are any available tickets and
you checking at the last possible minute this is because they would rather give you a cheap ticket
and fill a seat that would otherwise go empty yes the last possible minute the problem with this is
you may not go with the family you might not have a lot of carry checking luggage and you might
risk not getting a flight now or tomorrow but if you are unable to book in advance then
go the last possible minute without a ticket and talk to the ladies at the checking or the
guys that they’re checking and they will give you the ticket of the seat that is available which
would otherwise go empty again this only applies to direct flights at a specific location and on
the condition that is an actually available site most of the time they really are it’s just
that now these are available at this rate at the last possible minute so you need to be have
everything in place not have a lot of luggage and be available to travel flexibly that means you
can travel now or tomorrow or the other day after when the flights are available to travel to your
location so again this is something that could be able to cut down your cost significantly
so the best website to be able to check the prices is skyscanner.net so you come and
put the two cities two cities where you’re traveling and the dates where you are traveling
so because this is a week’s time the prices are um ninety 92 510 for return flights so the best
which is usually um usually between the cheapest and so which one of the one that offers the
best possible preposition for you which means less travel time and slightly better prices but
there’s also the cheapest option which is usually the one that will get you uh to the location that
you’re going with the cheapest price then there’s the fastest so again the fastest usually is
a direct route and a direct route actually charges more because again it is attractive to
clients who are pricing elastic that is business clients who want to get as more direct to flight
as possible but the best option for you is to to pick best best because it gives you a better
value preposition and sometimes you might find that the fastest uh prices the fastest flights may
be costed a lot more like this 160 000 compared to only two hours later in travel time at 92 000
which is almost a 75 percent reduction in prices so this website allows you to check the
various flights so as in this case you can be able to see these british aerials they
scale them uh there’s a air france with klm there’s kq there’s so many other flights that
you can be able to be able to use and it could be able to cut down your costs significantly so
this is one of the ways you can be able to check and be able to get the best available flights
at this point again this website allows you to book directly through an agent and an agent
who could be able to check the reviews that uh of the people who have traveled uh
whether they have a better customer feedback mechanisms or communications mechanisms
or they are able to give you tickets quickly you could be able to see all these ratings
because again they use various various other travel agents within this website because it
brings them down together and makes its money when you book directly through this agent so
again it is a win-win because you get a good agent you get to get your ticket through an agent
and so you may have less problems uh when you have issues with the air airline and travel because
the agent would actually sort out your issues so skyscanner.net is a website so of course if
you are to book this flight say in three months time so let’s say you book in march uh the same
day 21st um to say under a return of say 28th march uh you’ll be able to see that when you book
flights in advance you’re able to cut down the cost significantly so in this case you could be
able to get a cheaper flight of 67 000 compared to the 90 1000 we would have booked otherwise
if we were to book a week too so again if you book in advance you get the best possible rates
this is because many people do not book the the the airlines or their flights three months to
and the airline actually wants to fill seats and break even and because of this able to offer you a
good price in advance so that they can be able to get the number of seats it will assure them that
at least they break even then the additional seats they can be able to charge at higher price because
either way they are not going at a loss and if they are able to get a better price even better
again this is how their algorithm works in pricing so when they don’t have enough people
flying which is probably three months forward they book cheaply then when they get the
numbers that allow them to break even that is meet all their costs they change the prices upwards so
that they can be able to book uh uh and get better monies again that is how they price their thing so
so you can be able to check now prices are sixty one thousand i could be able to get a flight for
14 hours again it is good to be realistic again on on how you’re going to go about it you
can check the timings because sometimes between two flights the difference might be like
a thousand kenya shillings um or 10 dollars which might not be significant again the other tip i
want to give you is to check on the travel dates or the travel days so flights that are usually in
the middle of the week so probably on wednesday or thursday uh tuesday wednesday thursday are
much cheaper than flights that are on monday saturday and sunday why this is because most
people plan their week to be able to uh finish travel by the end of the week and start a new
week in a new location but many people can still be able to reduce uh there’s a lot more demand for
this uh sunday monday saturday sunday monday days but tuesday wednesday and thursday are
usually good days because there are less people who are traveling at those times and
if you want to actually change your dates to include these days so you go in on a wednesday
you come back on a wednesday or a thursday and a thursday you are able to get a very good price
again if the location that you are traveling to is a holiday destination fridays are also
expensive yes so if you’re traveling to a holiday location don’t book on fridays
because most people take their holidays on friday ghost travel on friday so they can
be available on the weekend and they enjoy their travel on the weekends so avoid for holiday
destinations booking on a friday this is because the prices on this they are significantly
higher so again you could be able to change uh this pricing to be able to include if you
want direct flights if you want adjusted flights but you could be able to cut down your cost
significantly let us change your day to include a day like wednesday so that you can be able
to see the actual difference in terms of time of days so when you book in a specific day how
does the price change so again nairobi to london uh there are very few people who may travel for
leisure say on on a specific day but the costs can actually be significantly different between
different places as you can be able to see already we can see there’s a difference so on
this uh cheapest flights the other one was 61 000 and this one is 64 000.
Again plays with the
dates with the days so that you can be able to get the best possible rates because this can make
a difference especially if you are traveling with family two thousand shillings for four people is
eight thousand saved just because of not traveling on a tuesday and traveling on a wednesday so again
be able to play with this date and be able to see how they affect you again you could also
do flexible tickets so so flexible tickets especially now with kovid allow you to be able to
travel and change your flights without having to be charged a penalty this is because these days
it is not as definite because you might go to travel and as you test for your coffee you find
you have coffee that cannot be able to travel but this can be able to adjusted to be adjusted
maybe in two weeks time or a week or another time and you could be able to get usually the
best tickets available for this rate one of the other advantages that i want to show you that that
comes with doing through scanner skyscanner.net and through the booking agents that they provide
as opposed to going directly to the specific airline is because you’re able to get better
terms in terms of what is your luggage allowance there was a time i wanted to travel with turkish
airlines and through the turkish website they are offering a baggage allowance of 27 kilograms per
person and this included also the carry on luggage but by going through sky scanner my ticket the
the value i was able to get for luggage was 40 kgs per person including carry on so a 13kg difference
could mean that you pay excess luggage which could not be the case if you book through skyscanner.net
and through the specific competing booking agents that are available i hope that you are learning
i hope that you are growing and as you fly fly smartly be able to check how you can be able
to reduce your cost significantly sometimes it could be a matter of changing the airline the the
airport that you are looking into but just putting london in it because as long as you book you land
in london it does not matter whether it’s heathrow or any other airport you could be able to
transition and go to where you want to travel again some airports are more expensive even within
the same cities and so it is important that you change instead of saying say um to london heathrow
you could be able to save london any i’m able to get offers for all the airports in a specific city
so yeah this is how you book i will leave a link of this website that you can be able to check and
review and be able to book the flights that are going to help you get the best prices available
in the market thank you and enjoy your day
