What is still perhaps surprising though, is who is the collecting the data and why it is collected. Bit by bit we have surrendered our privacy and handed over our content for pretty much every website in the world to mine our data and build up digital profiles of us. I’m sure that by now you all know that the internet is spying on you.

All I know is that I love a good bargain and so took it. There was no national holiday or special occasion. Why the flight was so much cheaper just one week later is anybody’s guess.

I called my boss, moved the vacation time I had arranged from work and took the £20.00 flight. That’s £20 return from Manchester, the UK to Nantes, France. However, I then decided to have a little play with the dates as much out of curiosity as anything else and guess what? I learned that if I flew one week later, my flight would cost only £20. By starting my journey 30km to the west, immediately the quotes came down to around £75. So firstly, I changed my departure airport to Manchester. The nearest airport to me is Leeds-Bradford in the UK and the first quotes I obtained were in the £400 return region which is frankly ridiculous. However, in other cases being flexible can save you bucket loads of spending cash for no apparent reason whatsoever.įor example, I was recently looking for a flight to Nantes in France to see my girlfriend looking to go from a Sunday to Wednesday in May.

You will routinely save 50% or more simply by flying off-peak. Obvious examples of this are avoiding bank holiday weekends and avoiding school summer holidays. If you are open and flexible about precisely when and where you fly, then you can save an absolute fortune. To get the best deals on flights the best thing you can do is be flexible.
