We all have this friend who never seems to stop traveling. Tired of their “just arrived in –insert-beautiful-exotic-location-here–” feeds, you ask them if they either own a gold mine (after all, where do they get that kind of money?) or know some secrets on how to find cheap airfare. And - yay! - it turns out to be the second option! So, yup, it's possible to travel around the world without spending too much money. For example, try to pick the right airport. Large cities typically have more than one airport. Don’t fall for a famous name where everybody flies. Instead, look around and see if there’s a better deal for tickets to, say, London Luton instead of Heathrow. The time of day matters too. It’ll normally cost you less to take off early in the morning or late at night. No one likes 3 AM wake-ups and red eyes, right? But there are a lot of other cool tips!
