Hello everyone, what’s up, I’m Rational Travel, a travel blogger who doesn’t rely on sponsorships and only tells the truth. Looking for cheap flights for Japan self-guided tours or Korea travel, do you often get lost between various flight comparison websites, spending half your time refreshing, and have no idea who to trust?
For us budget-conscious travelers, every trip’s budget is fixed. Every dollar saved on airfare means more enjoyment during the trip: it could be a wagyu barbecue dinner, a Disney ticket, or one more night at a better hotel.
This post is written for people unfamiliar with flight booking OTAs who want to understand the differences between these websites.
This flight booking guide breaks down all the must-have tools in your arsenal, from Skyscanner, Google Flights to Kayak, and even the Easy Ticket platform I’m personally building, so you can understand them all.
Before you read on, let me introduce myself like Rational Travel always does, after all, not everyone knows who I am.
Hello everyone, what’s up, I’m Rational Travel, a part-time blogger who doesn’t make a living from sponsorships, only sharing real experiences I’ve personally tried. Over the past five years, I’ve traveled to over 10 countries, sharing Tokyo self-guided tours, Seoul travel, US road trips and other international adventures, and introduced nearly a hundred domestic Taiwan tourist attractions and food spots. My blog gets close to ten thousand clicks per day.
