We’re turning to every traveler’s favorite – or least favorite – topic this week, and that’s airfares. After aviation editor Robert Silk wrote an article on which way air prices are trending in 2025, we asked Scott Keyes, the founder of Going -- an app that combines software and human Flight Experts to uncover flight deals and mistake fares and send them to its 2 million-plus members -- to come onto the episode with Silk and host Rebecca Tobin. Together, we unpack the numbers further and ask: Why are fares trending upward? What does that mean for airfare bargain-hunters? And when is the best time to book a flight (and should you wait for a last-second deal)? This episode was recorded Jan. 17 and has been edited for length and clarity.

It's the Friday news roundup! As Pittsburgh gets ready to celebrate Labor Day — and host presidential hopefuls again — we're digging into our history as the birthplace of the modern labor movement. Plus, we finally know why the Peregrine moon lander failed, but we don't understand why Pennsylvanians aren't claiming their Powerball money. We always cite our sources: President Biden's been to four of our Labor Day Parades here over the past 15 years, and he's set to come to the area this year with presidential nominee and current VP Kamala Harris on Monday. We'll see if he makes another parade appearance! Republican presidential candidates have been in our area too. VP nominee JD Vance was in Erie this week, and former president Donald Trump will be in Johnstown today. Labor Day weekend is going to be another busy time for the airport, so if you've got a flight early in the morning, make sure you build in extra travel time. Want to take a vacation when the airport's not as hectic? Check out our interview with Scott Keyes, the founder of Going, where he gives us the insider scoop on how to find cheap flights from Pittsburgh.  Astrobotic released a review of the Peregrine lunar lander's mission, and Tech Crunch reports that one valve was the culprit in the $108M mission's early end. Pittsburgh's been on the frontier of space exploration since the Apollo missions in the 1960s. There are three unclaimed winning Powerball tickets in PA that are expiring soon – including one that's worth $1 million.  One study shows that winning the lottery can improve your life! While you can't win the lottery anonymously in PA, for a while, we had more Powerball winners than any other state.  Individuals aren't the only ones getting cash from a winning lotto ticket. The store that sold the ticket also gets a bonus, which recently included an Allegheny County pizzeria. An Olympic gold medalist, aka pommel horse guy Stephen Nedorosick, is going to be on the next season of “Dancing with the Stars,” and he brought his cat to LA for filming. We spoke with local reporters Jillina Forstadt and Lajja Mistry about why 16 public schools might close, and they got answers for crowdsourced questions.

Lately, it feels like we're surrounded by systems and industries that aren't working the way they should. There's an oil shortage, and a baby formula shortage, and a used car shortage, and a microchip shortage. Now, here comes the airline industry shortage. This past weekend, thousands of flights were cancelled because airlines didn't have enough pilots, grounds crew, or planes. People were stranded in airports for eight hours or longer. JetBlue, American, and Delta collectively canceled about 9-10 percent of their flights—between five and 10 times higher than their historical average. And some experts say that if you're planning to fly at all this summer, things will only get worse. How did this happen? When will it end? Today's guest is Scott Keyes. He is the founder of Scott's Cheap Flights, a newsletter and business with more than 2 million members. We talk about the origins of the crisis, the economics of the airline industry, and why the decline of business travel is a cannonball in a lake whose ripple effects are wreaking all sorts of havoc.

Take More Vacations by Scott Keyes is the best book I've read in a while. In this episode, I share with you what I'm taking from this book for my next trip. There are many helpful tips in the book. However, the life-changing point is to reverse your travel planning. Plan your trip with the price in mind first, then destination and dates. Most people do it the other way around – Destination and date first, then try to find a cheap flight. In other words, the flexible traveler can always find cheap flights! I love this book.

DO YOU LIKE TO TRAVEL!?! Do you like unique business models?! Amazing. If you said yes to at least one of those, then today's podcast interview is gonna make your week. Today we're talking to the CEO of Scott's Cheap Flights, Brian Kidwell.   If you haven't heard about Scott's Cheap Flights, we'd honestly be shocked. They're a subscription email list company that sends out emails to their subscribers every month finding incredible deals on cheap flights.    Brian was a digital nomad who had always been interested in entrepreneurship and travel. After backpacking through Europe after college, Brian started a website focused on building a travel community where he would sell a bundle of deals on travel services. One thing led to another and Brian teamed up with Scott Keyes - the author at the time of a cheap travel ebook, and the two of them ended up founding Scott's Cheap Flights which now has 30+ employees and around 1 million subscribers and growing.   Today we talk to Brian all about building Scott's Cheap Flights. We ask him the ins and outs of an email list subscription program and how it works, building his team and company culture, how they navigated the pandemic in 2020 as a business built around travel, what he's learned working with a business partner, and so much more. This conversation is not only fascinating and so cool, but it's also incredibly inspiring as a business owner to think outside the box, be innovative, build a company mission and culture of honor and value, and so much more. I know I'm walking away ready to do more and do better and I know without a doubt you'll feel the same.    Show notes: https://theheartuniversity.com/151-how-to-find-cheap-flights-with-co-founder-of-scotts-cheap-flights-brian-kidwell   Lightroom Editing Challenge: www.theheartuniversity.com/challenge   Pricing Guide Freebie: www.theheartuniversity.com/guide-freebie   Follow along with Scott's Cheap Flights:  www.scottscheapflights.com www.tiktok.com/@scottscheapflights  www.instagram.com/scottscheapflights   If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.   Follow along: www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity

Before he ran Scott's Cheap Flights, Scott Keyes was a journalist who freelanced on the side. He loved the work, in fact. He wasn't tired of working. It wasn't due to extreme boredom, hatred of the 'cubicle life,' so to speak or anything along those lines, that caused him to start his own business. It was an innate ability to find great travel deals that turned into an email list that grew, and grew, and grew, until he almost felt obligated to turn it into a business. Six years later, there are 22 employees involved. He's got a killer premium membership focused on helping people find cheap flights to destinations around the world. What I like about this episode is how we go beyond what Scott did to grow HIS business into what he's learned about how it applies to others'. He gets asked for advice all the time, and while he realizes he didn't map out his business in some sophisticated way, he's learned great lessons about building a digital membership product, growing an email list, and staying ahead of the curve when it comes to competition and even internet trends. You'll hear how he made the decision to let Scott's Cheap Flights become his full-time endeavor, while his other interests, including freelancing early on, were relegated to side pursuits. Scott was generous with his time, open with his advice, and really insightful with his answers and guidance. I hope you enjoy this special episode of Freelance to Founder.

Scott Keyes is the founder and CEO of Scott’s Cheap Flights. In 2013, he found a flight deal he just can’t pass out on—a $130 roundtrip from New York City to Milan. When he returned home, his friends and colleagues asked him to let them know the next time he finds a great deal. In a nutshell, that’s how Scott’s Cheap Flights came about. Scott’s Cheap Flights aims to enable people to travel and see and experience the world. Unlike automated flight deals and alerts sent out by way of affiliated links, they leverage their team of human flight experts and innovative software to provide meticulously-vetted and high quality deals that are worth their members’ time and money. To date, Scott’s Cheap Flights has around 1.6 million members (and growing each day!). The total amount of airfare their deals have helped members save is already at a whopping $100 million! Scott’s Cheap Flights is ran by a remote team with members situated in many parts of the world. Undoubtedly, they are making people's travel dreams attainable, one deal at a time! So far, Scott has visited a total of 46 countries. He lists Oaxaca, Mexico as his favourite destination. He runs Scott’s Cheap Flights with co-founder and COO, Brian Kidwell.   This week’s episode talks about how Scott’s Cheap Flights work, the key things people who want to find cheap flights should do, and the premise of what he does today. Scott also shares what the 24-hour rule is, the holy grail of the cheap flights world, and the cheapest time to book a flight. On finding the best flight deals, Scott has this to say, “The better the deal is, the shorter it’s going to last. So finding about them early and being able to book early is really really key.”

This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Scott Keyes. Scott’s just your every day, run of the mill guy who turned a hobby of finding cheap plane tickets into a multi-million dollar business in less than 2 years. As he would say it, Scott’s Cheap Flights was more an accidental business and he started out as more of an accidental entrepreneur. A misfit if you will. Over the last 5 years, the business has grown to service hundreds of thousands around the world, help save clients millions of dollars on their flight purchases, and has been featured everywhere from CNBC to Virgin, Conde Naste, and Time Magazine. Scott has learned a lot about finding a niche and cultivating a great business from it and that is one of the things I’m most excited to explore with him in this episode. www.ScottsCheapFlights.com As Scott says, he’s an accidental entrepreneur. He ended up where he is completely by accident. The way it came about happened after he graduated college and moved to DC. He had a degree in political science and loved to write. He became a political journalist. There wasn’t much money in it, but Scott wanted to travel and needed to find a way to fund it. So, he got into the world of travel hacking. He got really good at it over the course of a couple of years. It all culminated when in 2013, he got the best deal he had ever gotten – a ticket from New York to Milan for just over $100. When he got back from his trip, word had spread amongst some of his friends and co-workers and they started asking him to share deals with them when he found them. He started an email list to send out deals he found to his friends and co-workers. Over the next year, he did as a hobby, but the subscribers started telling other subscribers and they told others and so on. By 2015, it had grown to over 5000 subscribers. At this point, there started to be some costs involved. In August 2015, Scott relaunched as a “freemium service” in which there is still a free signup, but also a paid sign up with more content and perks. Nowadays, Scott’s Cheap Flights has over 1.5 million subscribers. When you look back on how you got to this point, what is your best advice on how to discover a profitable niche and uncover opportunities under your nose? Don’t quit your day job overnight. Whatever you start, do it part time and split time. Build things on a small budget – don’t spend a bunch of money up front. Test things out for a little while before going all in on a strategy or offering. You must find something that brings real value and that people will actually pay for (and not just support you) If people are willing to pay for something, they value it and others will too. The main thing is to use micro-thinking. Try different ideas over smaller periods to see what is getting traction. But, be ruthless in cutting out the things that don’t show promise. At the 16 min mark, Scott tells us how SCF works… They are not a travel agency. What Scott and his teams do is spend every moment of the day searching for cheap flights. Really good deals pop up and don’t last long. Sometimes they are only available for 4-5 hours. They then alert subscribers, so they can get them before they disappear. Scott uses an example of roundtrip flights to New Zealand for under $400. As Scott says, what SCF is, is an early detection system to find the diamonds in the rough. At the 19 min mark, Scott talks about how the business is setup and the model (this is a great model that you could follow in your niche). There is a free subscription in which subscribers get access to 1 out of every 3 deals by “region” that SCF finds. For a few dollars month, Premium subscribers get access to all deals and can select by “airport” so they can be more specific to their needs. Lastly, Premium subscribers get their emails first and free get them 30 mins later. Scott loves the freemium model. In today’s age, people are skeptical. It is so much better to give them a way to show them the value you can create and how you generate results for them. It relieves pressure and creates more devoted clients. What have you learned about building a business in going from 1 man with a hobby to having employees throughout the world and serving millions? Learning never ends! There is a point in the growth of a company, around 8-10 employees where what you do shifts from the core product of the company to leading people and working to get the best out of them. There is a transition that happens and has to happen as a leader and your skill set will have to change to a focus on people and strategy. Another challenge, especially with remote employees is finding ways to connect them and build a strong team culture. As a leader with remote employees, you must have a special focus there. Are there any systems or specific strategies you’ve used for remote employees that work really well? SCF grew at a pace of “one employee at a time” and they didn’t take the time so much to build out the systems to communicate well across a larger group which caused some challenges. People in the company didn’t know what was happening in the company. Its’ more important to over-communicate…. They found that putting in a system of having regular meetings, communicating through Slack, doing check-ins with team members throughout each quarter, getting feedback, and being genuinely interested in how they can make their team’s lives better. What have you learned about building and cultivating a subscriber list and how did you transition from free to paid? Scott was terrified taking people from free to paid. He had seen the backlash that customers had when things like newspapers stared charging for online access, etc. The psychology of it is interesting. It seems to be much harder to get someone to pay $1 for something they used to get for free than it is to get someone to pay $2 for something they used to pay $1 for. Even though, it is still $1 more, people don’t see it the same. The shift seems monumental. Being conscious of this is really important and why the freemium model is a good way to go. It removes the barriers to entry. As he moved from free to paid, he gave all subscribers the premium subscription for the first month and gave them the choice of keeping it for free or getting a scaled down version with less features. This also helped created FOMO – fear of missing out He set an extremely low price point, a few dollars a month. It was not so much about profit in the beginning, but to see if people are willing to pull out their wallets. At the 36 min mark, we have a great discussion on value and what that means to clients. What are some tips on cultivating and taking care of subscribers on your list? Be very respectful of people’s inboxes. Invest in customer support and be very responsive – create a tribe of evangelists for you. Imagine what people will think if you are responded in minutes to clients, not days. Don’t buy lists to email to – this is huge mistake that can get you blacklisted Your subscribers are your best referral channel – more than paid search or advertising. Treat them well and they will treat you well. There are no short cuts, things have to happen organically At the 43 min mark, Scott answers the question, “What are some tips on how to find deeply discounted flight deals?” There is a secret sauce which is searching for flights 20 hours a day. First, you want to cross the ocean as cheap as you can, then worry about getting to your final destination. For example, book Chicago to Athens when going to Santorini and then get a cheap flight from Athens to Santorini Change the way you look at flight shopping…invert it Most start by picking where they want to go, then what dates they want to go, and lastly, they look at the prices. Look at price first to see where there are cheap flights right now. You can do it on Google Alerts, Kayak Explore, and a number of places. It is much easier to find good deal this way. Find the price and build the trip around that. If you find a really good fare, it won’t last long. You have to be able to make a decision quickly. A little trick is the 24 hour rule. When you book a flight directly with an airline, you can cancel the flight within 24 hours without issue or penalty. So, you can lock in a price for 24 hours and give yourself time to decide.   Best Quote: We are terrible predictors of our own career path. Be open and humble about where your career path can and will go.   Scott's Misfit 3: We are terrible predictors of our own career path. Be open and humble about where your career path can and will go. Beware of golden handcuffs. You don’t have to stay in a job forever. Go to conveyer belt sushi places for the price, but order from the menu for the fresh stuff. It’s the same price.

Most travelers today spend hours and hours scouring the internet for good flight deals. At some point, you've been told Tuesday is the best day to buy flight tickets. You've probably found extremely cheap airfare, only to have it disappear 30 minutes later. Overall, travelers encounter many unexplainable or frustrating experiences when finding and booking flights. On today's episode I talk with Scott Keyes (FB / IG / TW), who is the Co-Founder and CEO of Scott's Cheap Flights. In our conversation, Scott helps debunk some of these rumors and explain different details, best practices and other tips for cheap flights in today's airline industry.  Scott's Cheap Flights is not a travel agency or search engine, but a membership service that alerts you through email every time crazy flight deals pop up.  A team of flight experts are located around the world constantly finding cheap flights. When they do find these fares, they email them to members along with departing cities, destinations, dates, how long they expect the deal to last, and how to book. To date, they've helped members save over $100 million dollars on airfare. I've received their emails for the last few months and can definitely attest to the fact they find insane deals. Scott started sharing flight deals in 2013 after finding a roundtrip deal from NYC to Milan for $130. He started sending deals to a few friends, who added their own friends, and eventually he was sending emails to around 5,000 people. He realized he had something special and decided to go full-time with Scott's Cheap Flights. Today, Scott's Cheap Flights sends deals to over 1,600,000 free and premium members.
