Scott's Cheap Flights for Big Savings on Plane Tickets
Hi everyone - although this blog is for my gym, Strength School, this blog post will have nothing to do with getting stronger, losing weight, or anything else fitness-related. Instead, I want to share with you a travel service that I’ve used for five years which has saved me and my wife thousands of dollars on plane tickets, both in the US and abroad throughout Europe: Scott’s Cheap Flights.
What Is Scott’s Cheap Flights and How Does It Work?
Scott’s Cheap Flights provides daily emails to their subscribers with a list of deals of flights. The people at Scott’s review thousands of flights each week looking for ultra-low prices, pricing errors and mistakes by the airline companies, and other unique deals to help people save money. And Scott’s is not only for US flights - they can send you deals for flights from the US to almost any foreign country. We’ve used deals from Scott’s mainly for trips to Europe. But we’ve also booked deals to Canada and various cities in the United States.
Is Scott’s Cheap Flights Legit?
Scott’s has been around since 2013, and now serves over 2 million members. You never have to book any flights through Scott’s Cheap Flights - they send you the deals, and then you can book directly with the airlines that you choose. In other words, you never send money to Scott’s for your flights, only for your membership fee (if you’re using their Premium or Elite memberships - they also have a free membership). My wife and I began using Scott’s in 2017, and we’ve never had a problem, issue, or complaint. Scott’s is legit.
Is Scott’s Cheap Flights Worth It?
Yes! Here’s a recent email we received.
We have O”Hare Airport in Chicago set as a home airport, since Indianapolis does not have many international flights. As you can see, there are about a dozen major European cities you could fly to for as low as $336 round-trip. We usually book from Chicago and drive to the airport. But you could also book a short flight from Indy to Chicago if you prefer not to drive or park your car while on vacation.
The best deal we’ve ever had was in 2019 when my family booked round-trip flights from Chicago to Belgium for $297. That’s not a typo: $297 round-trip for international flights.
And we just booked a spring trip to Portugal for $388 round-trip.
In the past four years, we have also flown to several other countries in Europe for under $450 round-trip.
And Scott’s works for travel in the U.S. as well. When you sign up for Scott’s emails, you can pick the airports you’d like to fly out of and the destinations you might be interested in visiting.
