Flights
Google Flights
My go-to starting point for booking flights. Google Flights is easy to use and provides so many search options. You can search by country, airports, and even track flight routes to find the best deals on. Make this your first stop when booking flights.
Skyscanner
Skyscanner is another of my favourite flight finding websites. I’ve found some of my best deals on here including return flights to Murcia for under £30! It pulls the cheapest flight options for specific dates and destinations on the planet.
Kayak
Kayak is a great search engine which lets you search for the best deals on flights, hotels and car hire. Similar to Google Flights and Skyscanner, you can search flexibly by specific date or date range to hunt down the best flights.
Tours
Get Your Guide
Get Your Guide is one of my favourite platforms for finding bespoke tours. It is one of my most-used apps when travelling, especially to a new location. I found a fantastic £40 tour round Galicia’s Costa Da Morte on here and booked a ton our tours on a recent trip to China! A great way of finding cool experiences in a new city.
