A former flight attendant is gaining attention online after sharing a series of travel tips she says can help travelers find cheaper airline tickets and refunds on flights.
Bianca, who posts travel advice on Instagram under the username @bianca.flightsavings, recently uploaded a video outlining several strategies she claims travelers can use to lower airfare costs.
The clip quickly began circulating on social media, attracting viewers interested in saving money on flights.
“Share with someone who loves to travel and needs these travel hacks,” Bianca wrote in the caption accompanying the video.
Best Days to Book Flights
In the video, Bianca said one of the most effective strategies involves booking flights on specific days of the week.
According to her advice, travelers should search for and purchase tickets on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Saturdays, which she says often feature better deals.
She clarified that the recommendation applies to the day the ticket is purchased rather than the day of travel.
“The flight can be on any day,” she said, “but you’re going to sit down on those days and book your flight.”
Using VPNs and Private Browsing
Another tip she offered involves using a virtual private network (VPN) or private browsing mode when searching for airfare.
Bianca claimed airlines and travel sites may adjust prices based on a user’s location or browsing behavior, and hiding that information can sometimes lead to lower prices.
While the practice is debated among travel experts, many travelers use private browsing tools when comparing airfare online.
Late-Night Flight Deals
The former airline employee also suggested that very early morning or late-night hours can be an ideal time to book flights.
She said fares sometimes change overnight, making 3 a.m. or 4 a.m. searches a potential opportunity for discounted tickets.
“This is the best time to book your flights,” she told viewers.
Tracking Price Drops
Finally, Bianca recommended using online services that track airfare changes after a ticket has been purchased.
By sending confirmation emails to certain travel-monitoring services, she said travelers may receive refunds or credits if ticket prices later drop.
“These are my favorite flight hacks,” Bianca said in the video. “I tell my family, my friends—everybody I know needs to know these hacks.”
Growing Popularity of Travel Advice Online
Travel tips shared by airline workers and frequent travelers have become increasingly popular across social media platforms, where users exchange advice on finding cheap airfare, navigating airports, and maximizing travel rewards.
As travel demand continues to rebound globally, many consumers are turning to online communities for strategies that can help reduce the cost of flying.
