welcome everyone Adam the woo here it's
0:12
my
0:13
second daily Vlog channel it's the
0:17
daily
0:19
woo I want to show you
0:22
guys I don't know why that little that
0:25
little pre- inro made me laugh normally
0:28
I film these vogs with a front-facing
0:31
camera but today I am using the other
0:35
camera that actually is the normal I
0:37
guess actually I use the rear facing
0:40
camera that way I can see myself when
0:42
I'm like vlogging and I'm holding the
0:45
phone looking at myself the other day I
0:47
was actually showing some stuff on my
0:49
laptop computer and I realized my focal
0:53
point of what I was trying to show was
0:55
not accurate not pinpointed and accurate
0:59
so today I'm actually holding the phone
1:01
the opposite way and you're not going to
1:03
look at this crazy ugly mug most of the
1:06
Vlog you are going to be focused on the
1:08
subject at hand that can actually be
1:12
discovered
1:14
on
1:16
Google
1:23
google.com and here's my little
1:23
workstation all set up with my back to
1:25
the future poster there signed by most
1:28
of the cast my little dinosaur up there
1:32
roaring his head the corridor crew of
1:37
goons right up there and of course I
1:41
have a fan and a light and it's a
1:44
sticker and my new GoPro that I'm trying
1:47
to figure out another fan down here my
1:50
laptop bag my charger my
1:53
microphone my little accessories here
1:57
and then some mail over here a
2:00
monoral from Walt Disney World a picture
2:03
of my sister and I there's me as a we
2:06
lad and my sister holding my sister when
2:09
she was just an infant and of course
2:11
this this is awesome here this is what I
2:14
will be using when I return to Walt
2:16
Disney World very soon at the end of the
2:19
month I have planning a trip and I have
2:21
purchased tickets to Walt Disney World
2:24
and of course there is
2:27
the placard symbolized in that I have
2:30
hit over 100,000 subscribers on my main
2:34
Channel and look at this I have some
2:36
Mountain Dew some crisp Mountain Dew
2:39
this morning and here's some Star Wars
2:42
stuff see 3PO right here of course that
2:44
is not one of the original Star Wars
2:47
figures those are in another part of my
2:49
Homestead but this is my office area
2:53
right here this is my office so
2:55
basically what I wanted to show you
2:57
today I wanted to answer some questions
2:59
that the people are always asking how do
3:02
you book plane flights for a relatively
3:06
cheap amount of money well I'm going to
3:10
show you now what is the Adam the
3:14
woo let's just call this the Adam the
3:17
woo way of looking up plane flights now
3:21
everyone else has their opinion in their
3:24
way they shop for plane flights but I've
3:27
learned this over the years and it seems
3:29
to work pretty well for me now please if
3:32
you have better ideas than what I am
3:33
sharing with you feel free to leave
3:36
those in the comment section but this is
3:38
basically how I
3:40
search for plane flights so basically
3:43
what I do instead of using priceline.com
3:47
or orbits or any of those websites where
3:49
you can actually book plane flights and
3:52
type in a date range I take it a step
3:56
further and go to Google and actually
3:59
type in where I want to go in the search
4:04
bar so since the cheapest and closest
4:07
airport to me normally is Los Angeles
4:10
International Airport I always type in
4:14
LAX now wherever you are let's say you
4:17
live in Chicago or New York City or
4:20
Orlando or Denver or Seattle all of
4:24
those are going to be your first search
4:27
so what I do is I type in LAX and let's
4:30
say I wanted to go to New York
4:35
city so we have LAX to New York City
4:39
flights now this is all just basically
4:42
an example of what you could look up so
4:45
I type in LAX to New York City flights
4:48
and I hit
4:50
return so what happens is this chart
4:53
pops up so this is a chart that pops up
4:57
instead of actually you typ tying in a
5:00
date range it's giving you the ability
5:03
to actually type in whatever date range
5:06
you want which is basically what a price
5:10
line or an orbits or any of those
5:12
websites will do but if you go down here
5:16
to more Google flight results so look at
5:20
this graph take your mouse and your
5:24
little pointer arrow and come down here
5:27
and click on more Google flight
5:38
results so click on that and this will
5:38
appear so basically what this is it's
5:41
actually giving you a date range but
5:44
what you can do is you can go up here
5:46
underneath Los Angeles International
5:48
Airport or whichever airport you so
5:50
choose to type in the search bar change
5:55
the date range by just clicking your
5:57
mouse on this right here B and now it
6:01
has opened this entire calendar area and
6:05
what this does it gives you the ability
6:08
to pre-plan so instead of saying I have
6:11
to leave on January 7th which is today
6:16
and return on the 9th you can actually
6:18
see the way the prices fluctuate whether
6:22
they go up or they go down so if I was
6:26
to fly out in the next week I'm paying
6:29
300
6:30
$80 across the board but if I waited
6:33
till the
6:34
26th it is lit up in this beautiful
6:39
green so if we click on the green icon
6:43
it's
6:49
$232 if I wanted to fly from Los Angeles
6:49
International Airport to New York City I
6:53
could actually go for
6:57
$232 so I click on that
7:00
$232 and then it shows my return flights
7:05
and here is a return flight look at this
7:08
for
7:10
$182 on February 24th so if I click on
7:14
that it actually shows so look at this
7:18
this is crazy so if I wanted to fly from
7:22
Los Angeles to New York City on January
7:26
26th if I had the ability to stay almost
7:29
a month and come back on February 24th I
7:33
could get a flight on Virgin America
7:36
which is actually a pretty good Airline
7:38
one of my favorite Airlines to fly I
7:40
could get a flight for
7:50
82 that's it Coast to Coast
7:50
$182 now this does have a layover which
7:52
I am not a big fan of if you want to
7:54
change the layovers you just go over
7:57
here to stops
8:00
and click on
8:02
nonstop so that changes now to no
8:05
layovers so you can go up here and
8:09
recheck and relook so here's some for
8:13
$277 in February and you can go a little
8:16
bit farther if you wanted to go to march
8:18
to April but let's look at the end of
8:20
February so 23rd
8:24
$275 and then you could come back
8:31
let's say you wanted to come back on
8:31
March 1st so here are some non-stop
8:34
flights for $
8:41
2704 so this is basically how I pretty
8:41
much will look to go anywhere let's say
8:43
I wanted to go to Chicago so you type in
8:53
Chicago and here you go Frontier look at
8:53
this Frontier Air is having round trip
8:57
to Chicago with no stops no layovers for
9:05
$158 and then if you go up to this graph
9:05
like I showed before look at this if I
9:08
flew out on February 9th here's one from
9:12
Los Angeles to Chicago on February 9th
9:17
$81 click on the
9:19
$81 and then I stayed a week and came
9:21
back on the
9:23
16th for 80 look at this
9:33
$81 from Los Angeles to Chicago for
9:33
$81 and this is actually American
9:36
Airlines which is better than the
9:38
airline I showed a minute ago because
9:41
Spirit Air and some of those cheaper
9:43
Airlines they actually charge you a
9:45
little bit extra 20 $30 per bag and
9:49
especially even on carry-on on some of
9:52
those cheaper Airlines but American Air
9:55
Virgin America all of those you get free
10:00
carry on luggage so this is a heck of a
10:02
deal this actually entices me to go to
10:06
Chicago cuz this is insane on February
10:10
9th I could fly to Chicago from Los
10:14
Angeles International Airport come back
10:17
a week later I could stay in Los an not
10:21
not in Los Angeles but in
10:23
Chicago and I would get there and back
10:26
round trip with no layovers Non-Stop
10:35
nonstop for
10:35
$81 and also keep in mind you might also
10:38
want to keep in mind the fact that
10:39
actually it's cheaper to book flights on
10:41
a Tuesday afternoon a Tuesday night a
10:44
Wednesday if you don't want to book
10:46
tickets on like a Saturday or a Sunday
10:48
because that is when most people are off
10:49
work and most people are on the internet
10:51
searching and purchasing their tickets
10:54
so you want to always book your flights
10:57
on a weekday now these are all my
10:59
experiences these are not necessarily
11:02
the rule of thumb but this is how I go
11:04
about searching for my plane tickets and
11:10
I wanted to share that with you because
11:12
a lot of people are always asking how
11:13
are you able to travel around how do you
11:15
spend so much money on plane flights I
11:18
am very frugal and I really try to shop
11:22
around as far as using hotels.com to
11:25
book hotel rooms when I go to Florida I
11:27
actually stay with my parents and I also
11:30
am very frugal about rental cars and
11:32
maybe I will do a future Vlog about how
11:35
I search for rental cars and all that is
11:38
in coalation with when I decide to go
11:41
somewhere the biggest key is having
11:44
availability so remember what I told you
11:47
go on Google do your own little searches
11:50
on the little graph the graph thing is
11:52
actually super super cool all you have
11:55
to do is just type in whatever airport
11:58
that you want to fly out of let's say
12:01
you are flying out of Miami
12:04
International Airport let's say you live
12:06
in Miami and you wanted to go to
12:10
Seattle so you would just type that
12:13
in go to any and look up any of these
12:18
graphs and once the graph appears by
12:21
typing in the Airlines and the dates
12:24
just look for the cheapest flights and
12:27
they will notify you
12:29
by changing the color to green green
12:32
means go so you're looking for the go
12:35
green click on that pick a date when you
12:40
want to come back and that's basically
12:42
how I search for flights and you can
12:45
change any airlines let's say you do not
12:47
want to fly Frontier you can X Frontier
12:51
out you can X Delta out you can do
12:56
nonstop and that's basically and you can
12:58
see how the price once you start making
13:01
changes the price could dramatically go
13:04
up so it's all basically if you want to
13:06
fly non-stop if you want to fly first
13:09
class which I never do I always fly in
13:12
the steerage because first class is
13:14
super expensive I don't even know what
13:15
it would be like to fly in first class I
13:19
always end up getting seats in the
13:20
middle of two people in the back of the
13:22
plane so I'm using the last person on
13:24
the plane the last person off the plane
13:26
but as you can see as I showed you that
13:28
one flight for under $100 from LAX to
13:32
Chicago you can get some really good
13:35
deals so that's basically how I book
13:37
plane flights I will actually be in
13:40
Orlando from the 20th to the 29th I fly
13:43
out early the 30th out of Orlando back
13:46
to Los Angeles I'll be in Orlando for
13:50
nine maybe 10 days so I look forward to
13:54
seeing people out there and posting some
13:56
videos some Vlogs things like that hope
13:59

14:01
comments maybe there are things I do not
14:03
know about leave some comments down
14:04
below if you have a better way of
14:06
searching plane flights and I would like
14:08
to know what your process is on flying
14:12
out around places around the country or
14:15
the world all right I'll see you guys
14:17
