Synopsis

The founder of Scott’s Cheap Flights explains why we’re searching for airfare all wrong, shares the strategies that have saved his two million newsletter subscribers a collective $500 million on airfare, and presents a bold new approach for how to see the world while never overpaying for flights again.When Scott Keyes booked flights to Italy for $130 roundtrip and Japan for $169 roundtrip, he didn’t just uncover amazing fares; it was the beginning of a new approach that makes travel possible for anyone who has dreamed of seeing the world.What’s stopping us all from traveling more? The confusion of buying airfare—not knowing when to book, where to buy, or what to pay.Take More Vacations is the guidebook for anyone hoping to turn one annual vacation into three. Readers will discover why the traditional way of planning vacations undercuts our ability to enjoy them, and how a new strategy can lead to cheaper fares and more trips. Why cheap flights never have to be inconvenient flights, and all the steps you can take to get a good fare even when you don’t have flexibility. The surprising best week for international travel, and how small airports actually get the best deals.Keyes challenges the conventional wisdom that it costs thousands of dollars to fly overseas and shows readers how to make previously unthinkable trips possible.

Goodreads review by Richard on May 27, 2021

I really wondered how a book about cheap flights could warrant 250+ pages. But Scott Keyes has really created a book about the macro and micro trends in travel and how cheap flights factor into and are affected by all of it. He gets into some interesting philosophical debates about economy versus pr......more

Goodreads review by Zachary on September 13, 2021

Probably could have listed the takeaways as a two-pager and avoided 250+ pages of writing, but I suppose you wouldn’t make much $ as a result. The themes in this book often felt repetitive, however the subject matter truly did help to change the way I think about booking flights.......more
