Our expertise has been featured on
Flytrippers is a Canadian travel media founded in 2016 by Andrew D’Amours and Kevin Gagnon, two friends from Trois-Rivières who wanted to travel more without paying full price. What started as a small flight deals blog has grown into one of Canada’s references for cheap flights, travel rewards, and practical travel tips in both English and French.
Since day 1 (literally: our launch went viral in Quebec media in January 2017), journalists have called on us to explain airfare pricing, airline news, travel rewards, and how to travel for less. Our tips have been featured by The Washington Post, CBC, CTV News, Forbes, The Canadian Press, La Presse, TVA Nouvelles, and dozens of other outlets. We even pitched Flytrippers on CBC’s Dragon’s Den.
Why they call us (and why you can trust us):
- Andrew D’Amours, co-founder, is the travel rewards and aviation expert national media turn to for anything travel, he’s been quoted or interviewed by outlets from The Washington Post to TVA, and has written for Forbes Advisor
- Kevin Gagnon, co-founder, is a full-time digital nomad who has visited 105 countries so far, from the classics (Italy, Thailand, …) to well off the beaten path (Somalia, Iraq, …), and tests our travel tips in the real world, every single day
- Our readers have earned over $3 million in free travel with our travel rewards tips, and over 150,000 subscribers get our deals and tips by email
