Tips for booking flights!

Before I book any flight, I check both Google Flights and SkySkanner to see what deals are available. I have found better flights by comparing on these two flight search aggregators. Sometimes Google Flights has a better deal, sometimes SkyScanner does instead. If you're traveling internationally from the US, definitely make sure you check out SkyScanner. It shows more international airline options.
