If you didn't know about Kayak before today, you were already travelling wrong, but don't worry, this is a judgement free article. When I lived in Thailand, Kayak was always the first place I'd go to look for cheap flight deals (yes, that was a humble-brag, but remember: judgement free article). Well, in true Kayak style, they've justs released a list of the best possible destinations to take advantage of a "Hacker Fare." What's a Hacker Fare, you ask? Well, that's why you've been booking flights wrong all along. A Hacker Fare is the best way to save money on flights to popular travel destinations by booking one-way flights instead of roundtrips. As Kayak describes it, it's kinda like buying two appetizers instead of an entree, being stuffed at the end and still spending less than your friend who got the steak. Sweet. In particular, flights to Europe stand to be significantly discounted if you go the Hacker Fare route. Here are some of the destinations with the best savings when you book two one-way flights instead of a round-trip.

It stirs all sorts of emotions within me, and I wanted to share with you all. A wise mentor of mine once taught me that if you want to see beautiful things in life, then you need to go to where the beautiful things are. They rarely come to you. This is true in every aspect of our lives. To surround yourself in beauty and culture requires hard work, education, patience, and just a little bit of insanity 🤪 to get outside of your comfort zone. But after you have paid the price, you can sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labors.....like this beautiful scene here of Ponte Vecchio. 🇮🇹 🇫🇷 🇳🇱 A post shared by Kevin Franke (@8passengers.kevin) on Jun 4, 2019 at 5:55am PDT Hacker Fare Savings: 21% What to see: My personal favourite Italian city, Florence is the capital of the Tuscany region and is a perfect balance of city and country. Drink amazing wine, stroll the Palazzo Vecchio and stare in wonder at the Uffizi. Then go drink more wine.

It also reads the same backwards and forward 🤓 . . . TIP: unfortunately you have to wake up super early (before sunrise) to get a good shot. Go against the crowd and start at the west end of the bridge A post shared by angela✦ (@atlasofangela) on Jun 3, 2019 at 6:54pm PDT Hacker Fare Savings: 19% What to see: When I last visited Prague it was under massive construction and I still loved every moment.
