#3Wow. Finding a good deal on flights involves a ton of work. The packages tip is a good one

#5Off-topic: what is the deal with articles that have giant GIFs after each paragraph? I get it, it is supposed to be funny, but it becomes annoyance very soon. One or two is fine, but not a myriad. Also, when at work, makes me make close the page faster. /rant

Did NomadList draw attention to/advocate upvoting this submission? Could you send me a link/screenshot of that?
I don't have a nomadlist memberhsip.
I do all sorts of travel points hacking, I assume there's a bunch of other people on HN who do too.

I'm not questioning the fact that it got upvoted, just the rate, which is only realistically possible if you draw attention to a submission.
Even big company announcements don't get upvotes that quickly.
(of course, it's counterproductive, as drawing such attention when it's not deserved draws flags, which is what happened in this case)

It was SUPER annoying on that page.

#10So I guess the tl;dr is if you have time/flexibility to burn on a really long trip there's ways to find cheaper flights. If you can fly in or out of a distant airport it'll be cheaper. If you can fly on different days or different times it'll be cheaper. Also good, use a VPN to search for flights from other countries.
So, useful advice if you're going far far away and have plenty of time to spend.
