Romanna’s Upcoming Eight Destinations in Europe for only $815

In about a week from today, Romanna, who was hired by SkySurf.Travel to travel to eight cities around the world will soon be traveling around Europe and posting her travel stories with photos and videos at this SkySurf.Travel blog and on social media. Make sure to follow SkySurf.Travel on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for the latest news and updates. For now, let’s learn more about her upcoming trip destinations:

Romanna’s journey starts May 21, 2019, from her hometown Kiev, Ukraine. She will spend about a week in each city to document her entire 2-month trip, and then return to her hometown on July 19th. All flights to 9 cities in Europe costed a total of $815, including baggage fees, using the SkySurf.Travel tool. Her first destination is:

1. Malta. Malta is an archipelago, one of the smallest countries in Europe, in the central Mediterranean between Sicily and the North African coast. It has beautiful beaches, like Comino’s Blue Lagoon where people can take a swim in the aquamarine colored sea. Malta also has an equally beautiful island called Gozo, where people from Malta can ferry ride to. There’s much to do, such as visit the panoramic view at Upper Barrakka Gardens, take a sightseeing boat ride to Three Cities of Cottonera, and play at Popeye Village, which was the film set of the 1980 musical “Popeye,” just to name a few.

Romanna arrives in Malta May 21st and departs on the 28th. The total cost for this flight with baggage from Kiev is $131.

2. Catania, Sicily, Italy. Sicily is the largest Mediterranean island, just off the “toe” of Italy’s “boot.” It’s known for its delicious fresh fish and seafood; Europe’s most active volcano, Mount Etna; and where Homer’s Odyssey was set. Sicily has endless stretches of beautiful wild beaches with crystal-clear waters, baroque palaces, and breathtaking views on top of hills and cliff-top villages.

Departure: June 5
Price for flight: $41 total

3. Lisbon, Portugal. Lisbon, Portugal’s hilly coastal capital city, is one of the oldest cities in Western Europe. It was built on seven hills so there will be lots of uphill walking, but well worth it, as the top viewpoints, called “miradouros”, have incredible panoramic views, such as to the castle, the dramatic Portuguese coastline, and to most of the city skyline. Lisbon is a stunning and charismatic city well worth the visit.

Departure: June 12
Price for flight: $94 total (indirect flight)

4. Ponta Delgada, Portugal. Ponta Delgada, on São Miguel, is the regional capital of the Azores archipelago, a string of nine islands in the Atlantic Ocean about 1,300 kilometers west of Portugal’s mainland and about a two-hour flight from Lisbon. One of the great natural wonders of the Azores archipelago is the spectacular volcanic caldera (crater) lake of Lagoa das Sete Cidades. A stunning panorama can be viewed from Vista do Rei, named from King Carlos’s visit in 1901, where the lake, consisting of two lagoons: The Green Lagoon and the Blue Lagoon, can be admired.

Departure: June 17
Price for flight: $83 total

5. Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal. Funchal, the vibrant capital of Madeira, is a sub-tropical island in the Atlantic Ocean around 960 kilometers southwest of Lisbon. There are plenty of things to do in Funchal, such as strolling along the gorgeous waterfront, smelling flowers and tasting fruits at Funchal market, and marveling at the views from Monte cable car. Funchal is a wondrous island city filled with tropical gardens, phenomenal views, and captivating street art.

Departure: June 25
Price for flight: $81 total

6. Barcelona, Spain. Barcelona, the cosmopolitan capital of Spain’s Catalonia region, is well-known for its art and architecture. The fantastical Sagrada Familia church and other modernist landmarks designed by Antoni Gaudi marks the city. Barcelona will make you feel like you’re living in a Dr. Seuss book. It’s home to Futbol Club Barcelona and was home to artists Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso. Barcelona is well worth the visit and you’ll be very glad you did!

Departure: July 4
Price for flight: $109 total (indirect flight)

7. Santorini, Greece. Santorini is one of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea. The whitewashed, cubiform houses of its 2 principal towns, Fira and Oia, cling to cliffs above an underwater caldera (crater). They overlook the sea, small islands to the west and beaches made up of black, red and white lava pebbles. Some exciting things to do in Santorini are visiting the unique beaches in the Greek Isles, and Kamari, formed by Santorini’s volcanic history; exploring ancient ruins buried in ash (Ancient Akrotiri); and touring famous wine destinations. Santorini is considered a premier wine destination in Europe because the soil in which the wine grows in, which is partially composed of volcanic sediment, creates an interesting flavor difficult to find elsewhere.

Departure: July 12
Price for flight: $43 total

8. Athens, Greece

And last but not least, Athens, which was the heart of Ancient Greece. About 400km north is where the Olympian gods resided at Mount Olympus, which can be clearly described in the classic epic Homer’s Iliad. The first ancient Olympic Games can be traced back to Olympia in 776 B.C. Some must-see sites in Athens are The Parthenon, The Temple of Poseidon at Sounion, and Herod Atticus Odeon. Athens has many monuments, memorials, and museums to visit with ancient artifacts and Greek art.

Departure: July 19 (Back to Kiev, Ukraine)
Price for flight: $120 total

Odeon of Herodes Atticus, Athens, Greece

This amazing trip around Europe to eight cities (five islands) costed a total of $815 (including baggage fees). You too can build an incredible and super-cheap multi-city trip from anywhere around the world using the SkySurf.Travel tool.

About Romanna 😊

“Hello! My name is Romanna and I am a travel blogger from Ukraine. I’m 23 and a year ago I decided to change my life. Being a child I surfed the internet for hours, looking at pictures from all over the world. Traveling and taking photos – that’s what I wanted to do and made it a reality. Initially, I just wanted to see the world, and then I realized that I could be useful to others. So many people do not leave their country and even their city. Some are afraid, some people complain about the lack of time, money and other obstacles. I want to change the attitude to traveling – this is what energizes me and makes me move forward. I am in love with nature, quiet and peaceful places. Usually, I prefer to avoid noisy cities and crowded streets. I’m sure, that with me you will change your mind about our planet!”

5 European Destinations Everyone Should Travel To Solo

Europe is, perhaps, one of the best places in the world to embark on a solo travel adventure. Full of friendly people, great food and oozing with culture, it’s certainly short of very little. Traveling around Europe is relatively inexpensive and the traveling distance isn’t too wide. Most of Europe is very safe for solo travelers, but some cities are more ideal than others when it comes to accommodation and prices.

Some destinations in and around Europe are easier to travel to when on your own thanks to the public transport links, political infrastructure and simply because the cost of living is lower in some countries. When it comes to looking for travel destination inspiration, there is often no one place which suits everyone. Whether you’re looking for parties and fun or easy transport links and beautiful surroundings, here are 5 destinations which everyone should add on to their bucket list.

Dublin, Ireland

Dublin is often thought of as a “party” location. With a surplus of bars and pubs and a huge selection of live music venues, Dublin is as well known for its “craic” as it is for its history. But, the Irish are well known for making their towns and cities easy to find and access, especially if you are on your own.

Whilst, Dublin does have a reputation of being a prime party and drinking destination, that isn’t necessarily how the Irish do it. It is a fairly easy city to access by foot, but public transport is also straightforward and reliable. There are many free walking tours across the city or visit one of the many tourist destinations dotted in and around the centre.

Seville, Spain

Seville is the perfect destination for solo travelers who are on the search for a sunnier destination which is also mixed with culture and activities. Seville is a city full of history, particularly surrounding the bullring and bullfighting, which was popular here from the 18th century. There is also Seville’s Gothic Cathedral, which was believed to have begun building work in 1407, and is one of the largest in the world.

After a day exploring the sights, be sure to head to a local restaurant for a few dishes of tapas and a glass or two of local wine and then head up to Las Setas, where you can watch the sunset fade over the city. Seville is a fascinating place and is perfect for solo travelers thanks to the friendly locals and ease of getting around.

Reykjavik, Iceland

Iceland is a wonderfully stunning country and is the ultimate destination when it comes to solo travel. There are so many elements that make Iceland a popular destination, from natural hot springs, wild horses and waterfalls, but one thing which makes it hugely appealing to solo tourists is the ease of which you can travel around and take part in activities. Like any travel destination, it is the people who make the place and Icelandic people are more than happy to great you with a smile and give you directions or travel advice.

With a tight-knit community, solo-traveling here doesn’t feel as overwhelming as it does in a larger city. There are plenty of hostels and bars and restaurants in Reykjavik that are just within minutes of each other, making it easy for you to socialize and meet other travelers and is the perfect base location to go and explore the national parks or natural locations.

Manchester, England

Known for being one of the friendliest cities in the UK, if you’re a solo traveler then you’re sure to love a visit to Manchester. Everyone knows the humor that comes with English weather, and Manchester can be particularly rainy due to its location in the middle of the Peak District, but there is plenty to see and do which doesn’t involve getting caught in the rain.

With plenty of free museums, libraries, walking tours and transport, Manchester is a budget-friendly location for those watching the pennies, yet still provides travelers with great memories and the opportunity to meet other like-minded explorers. Whilst a table for one isn’t everyone’s idea of fun, there are plenty of places to eat in Manchester which are more than happy to cater to traveling diners. Be sure to check out the Northern Quarter or Oxford Road for affordable eats and bustling restaurants.

Budapest, Hungary

Eastern Europe is relatively cheaper to travel to and around than Western Europe and is full of exciting new destinations. If you are traveling on a shoestring budget, then Budapest is sure to be a great location for you to visit.

Many of Budapest’s landmarks are easy to get to by foot and aren’t located far from one another. Whilst there are guide buses and tour guides, it is also fun to just pick up a map and head out on your own. You’re much more likely to run into other solo travelers or find quirky and fun places to eat or grab a drink as you make your way between the landmarks. Whether you’re into the party scene (which is huge in Budapest, but only if you know where to go), or prefer making your way from landmark to landmark, there is plenty in Budapest to keep you occupied.

If any of these destinations have sparked an interest, then be sure to check out our travel deals on all of the locations mentioned above. Whether you want to do a single trip, or head to a few countries at once, we’re sure to have something to suit your travel needs.

Traveling Through Europe: Everything You Need to Know

Before you can experience authentic Spanish tapas, delicious Roman pizza and cold beers in Prague, your European travels require some serious planning. Although the logistics involved in planning a trip through Europe may seem overwhelming, the more prepared you are, the greater your chances of a successful trip. The following guide should prepare you with everything you need to know for your trip through Europe.

Valid Passport

Understandably, it is easy to get caught up in the excitement of planning your trip to Europe, that you can often forget necessities. Be sure to check if your passport is valid prior to your trip. If your passport is still intact, the other thing you will need to check for is how long your passport is valid for once you have begun your travels.

Some European countries require a three-month timeframe whilst others require up to six months so be sure to check its expiration date. If your passport falls short of these requirements, it is likely that you will not be allowed to enter the country.

Check Visa Requirements

It is fundamental that you take responsibility for knowing the visa requirements for anywhere to which you are traveling to. If you are unsure or unable to find the information you need then don’t hesitate to contact a specialist immigration solicitors or visa team prior to your trip. When traveling through Europe, you can literally stumble across a whole new country border so its best to have the correct travel documents at the ready.

Packing (oh the joys)

Be sure to pack light as not only will this save you from arm ache and a sore back, it will also save you from the cost of checking in luggage.

If you’re planning on doing lots of shopping during your European trip, or you’re just a sucker for souvenirs, then pack a spare lightweight bag so you can check it in on your return if you have to.

European Food Guide

Recently, traveling has become way more about having a food experience. Travelers now plan their trip with their bellies in mind and local cuisines have become the forefront of tourist attractions. With this being said, there are many reasons to visit Europe, not least of which is the opportunity to sample some true delights of European homelands.

Indulge in Adventure

Whilst on your travels, avoid eating at the big chains that you will come across in all the big cities. It is important that you resist the urge to stick to what you’re familiar with in order to gain the most out of your traveling experience.

Trying local cuisines is the perfect way to immerse yourself in local culture as well as discovering foods that you may never have tried before. Europe is home to some of the best chefs in the world thanks to its fresh quality and local produce. For those adventurous foodies that desire a traveling experience of high-end European cuisines, visit one of the many Michelin star restaurants.

Street Food

European street food is fundamental when it comes to your travels. It is about so much more than just saving a bit of money. You can get a real feel for a city by its street food as well as it being cheap, quick and readily available on-the-go.

Spain is renowned for its unique tapas culture of bar hopping combined with delicious miniature dishes which has become one of the most popular forms of dining, not just in Spain, but all over the world.

Be sure to indulge beyond the pizzas of Rome and try some good old Suppli which is regarded as one of Rome’s best and most traditional street foods. It also makes a nice change for pasta and gelato.

Transport

Transportation through Europe is fairly straightforward. Traveling by train is one of the most popular modes of transport throughout Europe asides from catching cheap flights. It is also an enjoyable mode of transport (if it’s not too busy to bag yourself a window seat).

In western Europe, you can travel to nearly every single destination by train thanks to extensive network rails. Investing in a rail pass is a great way to travel to multiple destinations in one trip whilst keeping the cost minimal.

“Healthy Holidays” And Other Travel Trends For 2019

Have you already got a holiday planned on the horizon, or are you more of a last-minute travel planner? Whether you want a food-focused escape or a “healthy holiday” away from life’s little stresses, then 2019’s travel trends are sure to have you tempted to book a holiday today.

Healthy Holidays Are Becoming The Norm

Last October, it was widely reported that 18-30 Club Holidays were no more after 50 long years. The Mediterranean resorts which have spent decades cleaning up the carnage caused by numerous drinking challenges and cheap takeaways are sure to be happy that they have lost their appeal. We have now entered a time where healthy holidays are driven by young people who want to be awake and sober whilst they explore the local sights.

The huge rise in wellness tourism, which is now worth $639bn globally, is growing twice as fast as general tourism and this is just down to young people. Wellness retreats and resorts are now welcoming people of all ages with holiday packages for every life stage, from stag dos to mumcations. Yoga, meditation, and wellness are all huge focuses, with some resorts including healthy eating options and juice cleanses alongside them. It’s time to pack your yoga mat and high waisted gym leggings!

Solo Travel

Solo holidays are now a huge focus for travel companies. The idea of heading to a location on your own and travelling alongside a group of other like-minded travellers has a lot of appeal to those who just want to get out and see the world and, thanks to the “#MeToo” movement, more solo women are getting the confidence to book their own travel adventures.

Some of the most popular trips for solo travellers tend to be walking and adventure trips. Walking and hiking amongst unseen parts of your destination makes the experience all that more special and is perfect when taking part with a group, especially when you have met other people that you want to explore with.

Asia is one of the most popular destinations for solo travellers. It’s a great way to explore and try out new experiences and cultures without having to worry about much internal travel or constant border crossings and hostel hunting.

Weekend Trips

With more people working longer and being unable to take the time they want off work, weekend trips are set to be huge in 2019. Over 53% of travellers have said in a recent survey that they plan to make more regular weekend excursions this year, with many wanting to spend time exploring new places. European cities and hotspots are set to see an increase in tourist numbers, with many taking advantage of more readily available flight routes and cheaper accommodation.

Unique Experiences

Experience is now being chosen over material possessions and overdone tourist destinations according to new statistics. Over 60% of travellers are said to favour new and authentic experiences over the typical tourist attractions. This means that in 2019, travellers will be actively seeking out a vast variety of activities, from outdoor sleeping arrangements and authentic cooking classes, and looking for things which focus on happiness and comfort.

Wildlife excursions are on the rise in Madagascar, thanks to the beautiful landscape and wildlife. There are currently 86 different species of lemur living in Madagascar and fauna and flora species which are over tens of millions of years old. Peru is also becoming a huge draw for tourists, who want to want the hike their way into Machu Picchu. Set up high in the Andes Mountains, the Incan citadel was built in the 15th century and today offers a fierce challenge for those willing, and able, to trek there.

If you want to take part in these experiences but are limited to a budget, don’t let that stop you from pursuing your travelling dreams. Whether you want to visit some more cities on your weekends or plan a month-long trip, Skysurf.Travel is here to help you find cheap flights to get you to where you want to go. Explore the best deals and start planning your trip today.

How to Travel the World for Really Cheap in Two Months for under $2,000

SkySurf.Travel is currently seeking someone to travel the world to eight different cities. The selected applicant will receive $2,000, which will go towards his or her trip, for an adventure of a lifetime. Here are some tips on how you can travel the world for only $2,000!

Use SkySurf.Travel to build your round-the-world multi-city itinerary. I was able to build an itinerary from New York City to eight European cities and back for under $600. That leaves me with a little over $1,400 for spending. Remember to pack light! Some airlines charge a fee for carry-ons. Be sure to read the baggage policy for each airline before booking.
Try Couchsurfing. You can stay with locals for free and it’s a great way of meeting new people. If you can’t find a host or you aren’t comfortable using it, you can try hostels or private rooms on Airbnb for cheap accommodation. If it’s warm outside, you can even try camping. Ask your hosts or hostel staff for cheap and free local things to do.
Go grocery shopping and cook at your hosts living space. It’s a good idea to cook and then wash the dishes for your hosts as a token of appreciation. Taking the Host out, bringing a small gift or some other gesture are also good ideas. This can cost you about $70/week, and even a lot cheaper, depending on which country you are visiting. That’s about $500 for two months of grocery shopping. That leaves you with $900.
Use public transportation, trusted carpooling services such as BlaBlaCar, or hitchhike. Here’s the guide to hitchhiking the world, and here’s a price list of public transportation in 80 cities around the world. For example, a day pass in Prague costs 5 euros, while in Paris a 1-day pass costs around 11 euros. Let’s say I set aside a budget of $75/week for transportation. That’s a total of $600 for two months, which leaves me with $300! You can try a service like Rome2Rio for searching the cheapest public transportation to any destination. Stay away from taxis if you can. Public transportation is the best way, IMHO, to explore any city. Also, try renting out a bicycle if you can; it’s cheap or can be free, a great and fast way to see and explore any city, and it’s good exercise!
Use free Wi-Fi and apps like Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, Viber, Skype, etc. to make calls anywhere abroad for free.
Transacting money directly from the debit card in the local currency is a better way than exchanging money to the local currency.
Try out some free city tours, for example with a service like Freetour.com
If you are a student, make sure to bring your student ID with you. Many museums and such have student rates and the savings can add up quite a bit.
Some cities may offer tourist cards. These can be big money savers. Pay a small price for free museums, discounted public transportation, attraction discounts, and more. Do some research to see if the city you will be traveling to has tourist cards.
Be vigilant at all times. A great way to save money is not to lose it! So be aware of pickpockets, especially in big cities.
You can pick up some freelance work while you travel to earn some extra money, such as with Upwork, a global freelancing platform where businesses and independent professionals connect and collaborate remotely.
Explore nature. Hike a mountain or go swimming in the ocean. Take a ton of photos. Catch a tan on the beach and relax to the sound of the waves, while doing a yoga class. There are plenty of activities you can do in the great outdoors, and many are free.
Pub crawls can be free or cheap and a great way to meet people and to check out the local nightlife party scene. Sometimes a free beer or shots are included. It’s not required to drink when you pub crawl and you can always grab a soda or juice.
Research the internet for free local events, museums, parks, things to do, etc. Also download some free travel apps, such as:
1. Google Trips. This app automatically maps out a half day or a full day with suggestions for things to see and do.
2. Rome2Rio. Use this app to discover how to get anywhere by plane, train, bus, ferry & car
3. Meetup. Meetup provides a way to connect with individuals with similar hobbies and interests. Join in on a local soccer game, learn a new language, or even learn local cuisine by taking a cooking class.
4. Party With. Use this app to link up with locals and fellow travelers for local nightlife. Keep in mind that alcohol can be expensive at bars and restaurants, so try to set a small budget aside for it, or don’t drink it at all.
5. All Events. An easy way to find activities to explore. Search for local concerts, sporting events, and local food.
6. Geosure may be one of the best travel apps for safety information. It provides comprehensive street-level scores using crime and safety information from government organizations, local authorities, and crowd generated responses to assess a neighbor’s risk level.
7. CityMapper. Travelers in search of easy transportation will see that CityMapper makes finding the best route simple. Whether your car sharing or taking local subways the app saves time and money in route.
8. Like a Local. Like a Local is meant to help travelers find fun spots to hang out in a place, just as a local would do, from restaurants and bars to art galleries and holiday parks. The app works completely offline and features cities like Munich, Brussels, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Vienna.
9. Hostelworld. Use this app to find and book cheap hostels around the world.
10. Sygic. Sygic Maps is a free, great app for getting around a city by walking or driving when you have no internet access. Make sure to download the maps of the countries before visiting.

These are just a few free travel apps I recommend. There are many travel apps out there, so it’s a good idea to research a few, as well as any local travel apps, before your trip. With all these apps nowadays to meet new people and find things to do, you should have an eventful and fun experience. You can even try dating apps. Who knows? Maybe you’ll fall in love with a special man or woman in a foreign country (that’s if you’re single, of course 😊 ). The possibilities are endless of what one can do without having to spend a lot of money, or any at all. Traveling on a budget can be a more fulfilling experience. It’s really about the experience and the people you meet, and not just what you see and how much you spend.

Once a SkySurf.Travel travel job applicant is selected and starts his or her journey, we’ll provide handy travel tips and advice along the way so that the trip can be as smooth as possible. If you haven’t already and are interested in traveling the world and getting paid for it, please read more details here. If you’re not interested, but know someone who may be, please share this post. This can be a great opportunity; for example, for art or history students, photographers, travel writers, or anyone who just wants to explore the world. If you have any questions, please contact us from the footer of the SkySurf.Travel homepage; and if you have any comments or tips you’d like to add, please post below.

Safe travels!

Deadline entry for this application is in two months: March 31, 2019. An applicant will be chosen based on the best cover letter, video, and prior blog writing work. The selected applicant and SkySurf.Travel will be bound to a contract at Upwork.com, so you must have an account at Upwork. You will be paid via Upwork before every flight, so if your multi-city itinerary contains 8 flights, there will be 8 milestones; each milestone will cover your flight and accommodation.

Your departure date must be before May 24, 2019, and your trip duration must be at least two months. If you happen to build a multi-city itinerary for cheaper than $2,000 at SkySurf.Travel; great! You will still receive the $2,000. For example, if you can build a multi-city itinerary for $600, you’ll have an extra $1,400 you can use for accommodation or anything you please. Once an applicant is selected, the Skysurf.Travel team can help him or her build an even cheaper multi-city itinerary upon request. Ideally, we would like to have someone fly to 8 different cities (one city per week).

The selected applicant will then blog (800+ words each blog post) in English about his or her adventure with photos, videos (vlogs), and
Instagram stories, writing about their experiences and suggesting handy travel tips, three times a week. That’s a total of 24 blog entries. The blog entries must include local food, culture, nightlife, nature, transportation, and ways to stay on budget. Your adventure blog will be featured here at the SkySurf.Travel blog.

If you have any questions, please contact us via Upwork messenger or the contact form, which can be found in the footer of the SkySurf.Travel homepage. This job is open to anyone from around the world who is 18 years of age or older and can write in the English language.

Most Cost-Efficient and Fastest Way of Traveling around Japan

The number of tourists visiting Japan this year (2017) hit a new record, exceeding the previous high of over 24 million last year, and it’s no wonder! Japan is very interesting, especially to Westerners, many of whom immediately think of sushi, sumo wrestling and samurai when they think of Japan. While these three things are very much a part of Japanese culture and tradition, there’s much more to discover in Japan, such as the people, the food, traditional & contemporary Japanese culture, as well as Japan’s efficiency and cleanliness.

According to Lonely Planet’s “Getting around Japan by Train” page, the cheapest train ride is from Tokyo to Niigata, Japan, for 5,620¥ (That’s $50 USD or 42 Euros); the most expensive is to Hakata, Japan, for 13,820¥ ($123 USD or 103 Euros); and according to Lonely Planet’s “Getting around Japan by Bus” page, bus rides from Tokyo to other cities can range from 3,200¥-10,230¥ ($29-$91USD).

The cheapest and fastest way to travel to a few cities around Japan is by plane. In this blog entry, you’ll learn how to build the most cost-effective multi-city flight itinerary for Japan using SkySurf.Travel. For this example, I was able to build a flight itinerary to 6 cities in Japan for only $277 USD. That’s an average cost of about $46 USD per flight, which is cheaper than any train ride in Japan, and about the average cost of a bus ride. The average bus travel duration is 8 hours, whereas average flight duration is 1.5 hours. Not only will you be saving money, but also time!

Here’s how I built this cheap Japan flight itinerary:

First, I visited SkySurf.Travel and clicked on the “Multi-city” tab. In the “Traveling From” field, I entered in ‘Tokyo’ and selected ‘Tokyo, (Japan) – TYOA’ from the autosuggestion dropdown. I then selected ‘Japan’ from the “Country Destination” dropdown box, followed by selecting my departure date, which for this example is January 11, 2018. If you are flexible, you can choose ‘anytime’ or an entire month. Finally, I clicked on the “Explore Best Deals!” button and a list of the cheapest flights were displayed.

The cheapest flight option from Tokyo was to Osaka, Japan for only $40 USD. I add this flight to my ‘BookIt List’ for later booking by clicking on the “+ Add to BookIt List” button. A popup then appears, such as the one below:

I planned on staying in Osaka, Japan, for 5 nights, so I selected January 16, 2018 as my departure date. I then selected “Japan” from the ‘destination’ dropdown, and finally clicked on the “Explore best deals!” button to explore the cheapest flight options from Osaka, Japan.

I repeated the above process until I was at my final destination, which, in this case, was Tokyo. Not bad, huh? Six cities in Japan by flight for only $277 USD including taxes. All non-stop flights. Once you are done adding all your flights to your ‘BookIt List’, just click on the ‘BookIt List’ tab in the top navigation, and then click on all the ‘BOOK IT NOW’ buttons to book all your flights.

Here’s a screenshot of my BookIt List:

Here’s where I’ll be traveling to:

Tokyo, Japan (Starting point)
Osaka, Japan – January 11, 2018 ($40 USD)
Fukuoka, Japan – January 16, 2108 ($40 USD)
Okinawa, Japan – January 20, 2018 ($54 USD)
Nagoya, Japan – January 25, 2018 ($60 USD)
Sapporo, Japan – January 29, 2018 ($36 USD)
Back to Toyko – February 2, 2018 ($47 USD)

And here’s a screenshot of my flight route, which was generated at SkySurf.Travel:

Here’s how to travel around Southeast Asia to 9 cities (7 countries) for under $400 in one trip.

And here’s how to travel around East Asia by plan to 12 cities (3 countries) for under $750 in one trip.

安全な旅行

Safe travels,
