How to Save Up to $500 per Flight for Just $1

When I was a kid, my dad was ALWAYS working. He was a real estate attorney with a prominent firm that placed high demands on him. Every night, he’d review contracts while watching TV with us. Weekends often included quick stops by the office to pick up more paperwork to take home. He left early each morning and came home late most weeknights tired and exhausted. However, despite dad’s workaholic nature and serious demeanor, dad knew how to let it all go the moment he departed on a vacation. Dad loved to travel and he knew how to do it right with no distractions from the office!

In fact, in 1985, dad won the trifecta at his office – the most hours billed, the largest billables, AND the most vacation days taken by any firm employee.

I remember boarding airplanes with him as we departed on exciting adventures. From the moment the plane took off until we landed back at home, dad was in full blown vacation mode, grinning ear-to-ear, a completely different person. He just had that uncanny ability to switch it all off which so few of us ever learn to master.

Unfortunately, later in life, just a year before his planned 50-year retirement from the firm, dad got incredibly bad news. He was diagnosed with an extremely debilitating disease much like ALS where he knew it was only a matter of time before he would lose control over his own body - no longer able to walk, feed himself or even speak coherently.

But instead of dwelling on how depressing the news was, dad gathered up all of his kids (now adults) and announced we would once again travel as a family.  

I took extra time off work through personal leave and together as a family, we explored - the Mediterranean, Europe, Florida, the Caribbean Islands, national parks and Mexico. 

I asked dad once when he was still able to communicate what his best memories in life were. Without hesitation, he told me the last few years traveling with his kids.  

Now I realize how fortunate I am to have a parent that could afford to take us on such incredible trips both when I was a child and during his last years of life.  

Most of us can’t travel like that, myself included. For us, every penny counts especially when it comes to airfare.

This is why I love flight alerts especially with this company I just discovered - DOLLAR FLIGHT CLUB. 

Dollar Flight Club delivers airline deals right to your inbox with savings of up to $500 per trip with an estimated savings of $1,200 per year plus about 10 hours of time you’d otherwise waste searching for flights through multiple frustrating search engines. It is a legit way to save, making travel dreams become a reality!

HOW DOLLAR FLIGHT CLUB WORKS

Dollar Flight Club’s mission is to save members up to $500 on every flight so that anyone can experience different cultures and exciting travel destinations worldwide. They help make travel like I experienced with my dad a reality for so many who would otherwise not be able to afford it.

Dollar Flight Club is primarily a subscription service where you pay an annual fee to get flight alerts on special deals delivered to your email and/or via text.  Although you can still save 20% with a free membership, the real deals come with the subscription service which you can try out for two full weeks for just ONE dollar.  Yes, $1!

Whenever there’s a flash sale, errors with airfares, or just good old competition between airlines that generate prices drops, you receive alerts.

HOW TO SIGN UP

Signing up is easy! It’s just a quick 2-step process.  Once you enter your email and create a password, you simply set your departure airport and dream destinations to tailor your alerts then enter your payment information for when your free trial expires.

WHAT I LOVE

What is great about Dollar Flight Club is the ease with which you can use the platform. Once you’re logged in, you have access to all active deals not just those emailed to you. There is a short 1-minute tutorial video that helps teach you how to get the best deals every time you search.

There are also all kinds of links to credit card deals, travel insurance, hotels, and travel guides/blogs!

They even offer access to four different newsletter subscriptions for free including:

  • Next Stop – Weekly destination guide of unique and trending spots.

  • The Navigator – Weekday travel stories and tips.

  • Room Service – weekly rundown of top bucket list accommodations.

  • Smart Points – Insight on travel loyalty programs, credit cards and hacks.

I personally love Next Stop and Smart Points.

WHAT TO EXPECT

In a nutshell, expect savings that will allow you to travel places you only dreamed of going!

When you receive notifications, they typically provide the deal price, how much of a discount you are being offered, the dates available, and the airline name.

The Deals Are Legitimate!

Here are just a few examples of travel deals offered for this summer:

  • Roundtrip to Italy $301

  • Roundtrip to Greece $371

  • Roundtrip to Japan $455

  • Roundtrip to Hawaii $99-198

SMALL PRINT/DISCLAIMERS

So, here’s the small print you need to know:

  • Most of the deals being offered are time sensitive so you need to jump at them right away. You need to catch them while they last to take advantage of the incredible prices being offered.

  • If you try the $1 Premium membership, unless you cancel before the end of the 14-day trial period, you will be charged $69/year for premium or $99/year for premium plus which gives access to business/first class seating options plus 20% off Mobil Passport Plus as well as discounts with other Dollar Flight Club Partners like Babbel. 

  • You can cancel anytime. Of course this begs the question, why would you want to with savings like that? Heck, just one flight a year pays for your membership!

Sign up now for $500+ off YOUR next flight and make this summer’s dream vacation a reality!
