As you hopefully know by now, there are 3 simple rules to “The JGOOT Way” of travel.
- ALWAYS have at least 50,000 miles for when rules #2 & 3 don’t work.
- Look for trips every day (whether planning a trip or not)
- You must be flexible. (Case study below)
Since being interviewed by CBS News over a year ago, Brook Merkle, her husband, and their two kids have gone on ten trips that she found with the help of her JGOOT subscription.
TEN trips!!!
But all the trip alerts in the world wouldn’t do her a single ounce of good if she looked at each of them thinking “Nah. That doesn’t fit perfectly with my schedule.” If you want to save 50% to 90% every single time you travel, you’re going to need to have at least a little bit of flexibility.
Don’t worry though. I’m not talking about massive changes to your schedule.
- They went to Hawaii for less than what most people pay to go to Cabo by snatching up a trip she found 6 months ahead of schedule and working all future plans around that trip. (This saved them nearly $1000 per person on their flight alone.)
- Another time, by taking a 4-day weekend over MLK weekend, she snagged $78 flights to Florida to visit family (saving about $1800 compared to everyone else who paid $450 to $600 per person for a 3-day holiday weekend flight).
- By booking a Thursday-to-Thursday flight to Vancouver instead of Saturday-to-Saturday, they saved enough to take a private helicopter tour.
Do you need JGOOT to have flexibility?
Absolutely not. This rule can be applied to any trip you take – and at the very least – I hope it helps you get out of town more affordably.
We just make it interesting by sending you 4 or 5 of the most affordable 1% of trips on the internet each morning – for you to dream about over your morning coffee.
Happy travels!
