Feature: My concrete examples of tips to save on my 25 flights this fall

This feature presents in detail all the tips I used to save on my 25 flights (totaling 14 plane tickets) this fall. I’m doing it precisely because many readers ask us to share our personal experiences in terms of savings on travel. If you’re wondering how to put all these tips into practice, you’ll find concrete examples here to inspire you. 

Here are all the parts of the feature, including general tips and most importantly, examples that are even more concrete (1 plane ticket at a time, with all the relevant pro tips that were used).
