France

An old friend who is currently traveling the world for a few years (was going to be one year traveling, but he extended it) has let me in on his secret to cheap airfare travel, basically how he gets his plane tickets cheap.

He’s not a rich person, never known him to travel with a 1st class ticket, though I know he earns enough money online without having to work (not sure how) to be able to take time off to travel.

After receiving another email from him while he was traveling to Africa for I think the third time this year! He emailed me on the plane again, think he does it to show off as he knows I’m lucky to afford two short holidays a year.
