As the summer travel season ramps up, you may be looking at your budget and wondering if a vacation is even possible this year. Fortunately, Vivian Tu, author, podcaster, social media influencer, and Chief of Financial Empowerment at SoFi, has a great hack that will get you dirt-cheap flight prices.
View this post on InstagramWhen deciding on a vacation destination, most people look at a place they want to go and then start pricing out how much it’ll cost to get there. Tu says that’s a mistake that could make your vacation significantly more expensive. Instead, she suggests being open to adventure.
Using the app Skyscanner, Tu shows you in a viral Instagram post how to find cheap flights to exciting destinations as long as you’re flexible. She walks you through searching for open flights to destinations served by low-cost carriers. You’ll also need to be flexible on your date to get the best price, but some of the flights she finds are at extraordinary prices.

How The App Works
Skyscanner may look like all other flight apps, but its extra options can help you save. When you hit the “Choose Destination” box, you can then opt to “Explore Everywhere” to find low-cost options. Once you hit that, choose the box at the top of the next page labeled “Flexible Dates.” You’ll choose a month that works for you, then return to the flight page and hit “Search.”
Tu shows the next page, where a round-trip flight from Miami to Mexico is $203. She was also able to book a $221 flight from Miami to Costa Rica. A trip from Los Angeles to those same destinations was $260 and $338, respectively.
Even domestic flights are cheaper. On Skyscanner, a flight from LAX to Las Vegas is $60 with options for a $48 hotel. On comparable apps like Kayak, the same flight was $74. While prices will vary by airports and destinations, you’ll be able to see the savings from anywhere.

Specific Destinations
You can still search for specific destinations on Skyscanner. If you’re set on a predetermined destination, Skyscanner has all the capabilities of other travel booking apps. You may even luck out and get a price drop in the Drops section of the app that coordinates with somewhere you already want to go.
Everything is more expensive right now, and having the ability to get away could be exactly what you need. Tu shows you exactly how to book yourself a break without stressing your wallet.
