About this listen

The founder of Scott’s Cheap Flights explains why we’re searching for airfare all wrong, shares the strategies that have saved his two million newsletter subscribers a collective $500 million on airfare, and presents a bold new approach for how to see the world while never overpaying for flights again.

When Scott Keyes booked flights to Italy for $130 roundtrip and Japan for $169 roundtrip, he didn’t just uncover amazing fares; it was the beginning of a new approach that makes travel possible for anyone who has dreamed of seeing the world.

What’s stopping us all from traveling more? The confusion of buying airfare - not knowing when to book, where to buy, or what to pay.

Take More Vacations is the guidebook for anyone hoping to turn one annual vacation into three. Listeners will discover why the traditional way of planning vacations undercuts our ability to enjoy them, and how a new strategy can lead to cheaper fares and more trips. Why cheap flights never have to be inconvenient flights, and all the steps you can take to get a good fare even when you don’t have flexibility. The surprising best week for international travel, and how small airports actually get the best deals.

Keyes challenges the conventional wisdom that it costs thousands of dollars to fly overseas and shows readers how to make previously unthinkable trips possible.

Let me preface this review by saying that I am a huge fan of Scott Keyes. I have been a Going (formerly Scott’s Cheap Flights) member for a long time. That being said, my review is really a 3.5 rounded up to 4 because I am such a big fan of his and his team. The good is he goes into much detail on the best ways to get cheap flights. However, after a few chapters, especially towards the middle, the book gets repetitive and starts to feel a little tedious to read. Maybe this is because I am not a novice traveler or a novice to his methods, so it felt extra repetitive to me. I was really struggling until about chapters 8 and 9, when the writing starts to reflect more of his personal life, and the chapters start to talk about travel and the effect on the environment and tourism where the book really picked back up for me. The blew through the last 4 - 5 chapters of the book in one sitting. The end is a little repetitive too, but it felt more like rounding everything out and bringing all the points home whereas the middle felt more like fluff. All that being said, this book is still essential and required reading for anyone wanting to add more travel into their lives. I did also appreciate how the book wasn’t a sales pitch, even though he has a whole business on this.

I mean he’s essentially just a guy who was (I’m guessing) bored at work and prowling around the internet daydreaming when he stumbled on a less than $200 flight to Milan, and then kicked off an entire successful career on it. Awesome right?! He remains a personal hero of mine.

Essential reading for anyone who wants more travel in their life.

Ok let’s get the only negative thing out of the way - this book is outdated so I’m guessing there’s probably changes to the traveling world that make some of this info invalid. Thats not the author’s fault, of course. I didn’t realize this is a few years old nor did I think to look.

With that said, I loved this book! The concepts I bet still mostly hold true and I’ll probably find some cheaper flights, but what I loved the most is how it changed my mindset about how to plan for, look for, and execute my travels. Well done with good examples. Definitely recommend it!

I wish I knew about this years ago

Great if you want to make travel accessible and avoid overpaying for flights. I like how it didn't just focus on points and miles as many resources do. I would love if Scott wrote a companion book about cheap lodging!

Really great resource

I've been following Scott Keyes for years, and I subscribe to his cheap flight alert service. Much of what is in this book has been covered in various online posts, live events, email blasts, etc, but this puts it in a comprehensive form. That said, I learned quite a few new tips from this audiobook and I am looking forward to putting these tricks to use to score even more deals! I enjoyed hearing Scott read this in his own voice. It almost feels like talking to a friend. Safe travels!

great advice for budget and frugal travellers!

I first started reading the physical book from the library, but I got the Audible version because my commute time is a good opportunity to “read” books. I love the info about how to optimize Google Flights and I have begun doing this. Great info about “creating your own layovers.” Makes sense of something that was hard to understand before - why flight pricing works as it does. Ironically, now I want the physical book because I want to refer back to certain strategies.

I loved the final part where he talked about meeting his wife. It was very touching.

Use these strategies

I’ve listened to a few travel books and picked up some tips here and there but Scott’s book is loaded with golden nuggets.

Everything is laid out clearly and concisely, plus he incorporates his own personal experiences or acquaintances who have had great success with finding great travel deals. Do you want to save money? Purchase the book and learn from the guy who’s made a business out of it, Scott’s Cheap Travel aka. Going.

My favorite travel book so far!
