#CheapTravelChallenge
I get a lot of questions on how Oak + Odyssey is different than someone just going onto Kayak or Travelocity and searching for a flight. I decided this would be a great way to show y’all how we differ and how you can save even more money by using Oak + Odyssey.
Tavel 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 Kansas City to London in 2017.
The Competition: Google Flights
The Results: Using Google Flights, the cheapest round-trip tickets I could find were in November for $910. Using Oak + Odyssey, the cheapest tickets we were able to find were in September for $569. *Drumroll please* By using Oak + Odyssey, you would save a total of $341. That's 341 small fries at McDonalds, a three year subscription to Netflix or your next weekend getaway.
*Side note: Google Flights is an amazing tool that I use all the time, however, this challenge is meant to show you that there are many workarounds and customizations that aren't picked up by search engines like Google Flights.
See the two flight itinerary comparisons below and be sure to book your next trip with Oak + Odyssey.
