#CheapTravelChallenge
It’s time for another #cheaptravelchallenge! The purpose of this challenge is to show you how travel search engines don’t always find the cheapest route. They definitely do a great job if you have zero flexibility in your travel plans. But if you’re willing to budge on dates a bit or fly into a different airport, then the customization that Oak + Odyssey provides is the way to go :) Let’s get started!
The Challenge: Find the cheapest flights from St. Louis to Bali in September 2017.
The Competition: Expedia
The Results: The Expedia search found me a $1,521 round-trip ticket from STL to Bali. Using Oak + Odyssey I found a round-trip ticket from STL to Bali for $893.
By using Oak + Odyssey, you would save a total of $628. That's a months' worth of rent (depending on where you live), 185 Taco Bell crunch wrap supremes, or a flight to Europe and back.
*Side note: Expedia is a great tool to use, however, this challenge is meant to show you that there are many workarounds and customizations that aren't picked up by search engines like Expedia.
See the two flight itinerary comparisons below and be sure to book your next trip with Oak + Odyssey.
Happy Traveling
