Toronto, ON, CAN

Vancouver Delhi | Travel Hack Diary

My Secret Weapon: Surffares
I ve booked 4 trips to India in 3 years using this flight comparison tool. Last month, I scored a $689 roundtrip ticket (yes, really!). Here s how:

When I Book:

Best Month: February (no festivals, no peak prices)

Worst Month: December (holiday tax = +60% fares)

Magic Booking Day: Tuesday afternoons (airlines drop prices)

Pro Tip: Use their Price Alert feature it texts you when fares nosedive.
