I've been using the anywhere and flexible dates tricks on Google Flights for years, and I’m honestly surprised more people aren’t doing it, especially now with prices being what they are. It’s wild how often I’ve found super cheap flights to places I wouldn’t have even thought to search for. The anywhere map has sent me to places like Oaxaca, Sofia, and even Dakar just because they popped up under budget.
If you’re not locked into specific vacation days or destinations, this kind of search can make travel doable again. Especially with all the recent inflation and random surges in airfare, I don’t know how folks are planning trips the old-school way.
Has anyone here found a gem of a destination through this method recently?
