In my ever continuing love of budget-minded traveling, I ordered an inexpensive book from Amazon called “How to Fly Free” by a Scott Keyes. Although the book had no tips that I wasn’t already aware of (and use) — it led me to sign up for Scott’s free email list of deals he finds. In short order I learned that he has mastered finding what he calls “Mistake Fares.” While I was my regular suspicious self at first — especially when he wanted a monthly $2 subscription to get even more frequent “deals” emails — I quickly found him to be a reliable source of amazing fares. His book sort of describes how he does it (following certain Twitter accounts, etc) — but his emails take the extra step and tell exactly how to pull it off.
So, that’s the background for how in February I got one of Scott’s emails announcing Mistake Fares for as little as $244 to SE Asia (within certain cities/parameters). And using those tips I scored a flight from Vancouver to Singapore with a return from Bangkok to Los Angeles for $336 – leaving April 25 and returning May 12, on All Nippon Airways (ANA), Japan's largest airline, employing 12,000+.
My general plan is to fly to Singapore and make my way to Kuala Lumpur, perhaps stopping in either Penang and/or Phuket on my way to Bangkok. Click here to go to Google Maps and see the general routing of this next adventure.
