Become Stealthy like a Ninja and save big when purchasing items online

Ever browse the internet and think someone might be spying on you? Do you view websites that are private and important to you (not porn site’s obviously 🙂 ) such as your bank websites.

Would you like to protect yourself more? If Yes, then read on.

For many years now it has been very obvious that Google can track not only your online presence but also where you are at and even what you are saying thanks to mobile phones. But did you know that every website you check out these days is most likely tracking your activity also?

It became incredibly obvious to me how much information we were giving away each time we went onto a website when I set up an online store.

Using a Facebook pixel I was able to find out when someone was on my site, how long they spent there, where they were browsing from, what computer, phone, tablet they were using, how many pages they checked out and where they came from.

And that is not even the worst part. With a simple application, I could find out exactly how many times they revisited the site and change the prices of my products so as to make them want the product more. All of this on autopilot.

Me being a small fish I didn’t even skim the surface of how much information I could gather, but trust me when I say this, big businesses will kill for every tiny bit of information about you.

A perfect example is flight comparison sites. They admittedly tell you that they are putting what the internet calls a cookie on your browser which supposedly is there to make your experience the best you can have.

But get this. It’s not always in your best interest to have a cookie in your browser. The cookie will see how many times you will revisit the website, which flights you are looking for and then also spy on you when you visit another flight site so as to make sure they can compete with the prices.

Once they know that you are interested they can manipulate the prices on the spot.

Ever go to a website, type in the same flight multiple times at different times and just before you click to check out, the website will tell you that the price has changed?

This is a standard technique used between flight comparison site’s to make you feel like you are about to miss out on a great deal. But at the same time, they are making extra dollars when you buy the product.

I was almost caught out with this the other day but because I knew of this technique I quickly got the ball back into my side of the court.

You see if they flight comparison site’s don’t have cookies in your browser they can’t really see your activity.

So this is when you become a ninja so as to make sure those websites aren’t ripping you off.

Almost all browser’s these days have a window which is called an Incognito Window. you can find it in the browser settings. An Incognito window will literally be a blank slate for you. When in Incognito you will not collect cookies and you will be logged out of all your pages. This will mean that you are literally not giving away valuable information to the website’s you are viewing which is great news for you.

I would highly recommend downloading a VPN. A VPN is a Virtual Proxy Network which literally hides all your activity. Everything you view is encrypted and best of all you can use a VPN to use the Hack that not even travel agents know about and pretend you are in a different country. Also, another great benefit is it’s almost impossible for people to hack your computer which is extra safe. I use ExpressVPN as I found it to offer the most for a great price and you can protect multiple devices using the one product. Click here to find out more about it

Also regularly make sure that you clear your cookies as you will be amazed to see how many cookies you collect over time.

So hopefully this is a bit of an eye-opener for you so that you can protect yourself better when browsing the internet and also save money while doing so.

The Flight Hack that with save you Hundreds and provide you with Another Holiday

Upgrade your lifestyle by travelling more for less using this simple yet powerful hack.

This Hack I use all the time when booking flights for my family. Due to the simplicity and the ability to break up long flights with a fun stopover.

I’ll call this Hack the One way, Multi City, Return Flight Hack

For a normal person, booking flights goes a bit like this. Go to Kayak, Momondo, skyscanner and select return trip, put in your destination and dates.

Then hit the search button, wait for the price to show up, change dates if the prices are too high.

If the prices remain too high, begin stressing and possibly giving up on the holiday. Sounds familiar? Don’t worry I have been there also.

But due to this hack and the other ones I provided you will soon become a Flight searching Enthusiast. Designing your life around the trips you take and the countries you see.

The Ultimate, Super Freaking Awesome Travel Hack – Flight Hack

The Flight Hack not even Travel agents know about – Flight Hack

People save hundreds of dollars with these hacks and now you will too…. Hold on a minute, sounds like I’m trying to sell something, haha, but I’m not so enjoy the article and let’s get into this hack

The One way, Multi City, Return Flight Hack

So this hack is very helpful for when you want to go away for a holiday. It works similarly to a Return but instead of booking the whole itinerary with one airline, you break it up and use another airline as well.

So to start off you get a budget flight to a major Airport which is along the way to your Final Destination. Once there you book a multicity flight to your holiday destination and all the way back to your starting point.

For example:

Sydney -> Singapore (on a budget airline)

Singapore -> London -> Sydney (Multicity using one carrier)

One thing you need to make sure of is that you have enough time between the Budget flight and the Multicity flights as you will have to check in again and if you have baggage, claim it and put it on the new plane. I would recommend no less than 5 hours between the flights and just to be sure I would stay a day or two in the city or country that your flights intersect.

This is a great way to break up the long flight and in some instances provides you with another holiday within a holiday.

So why does this work:

You fly into a major Airport (Hub City) where there is more competition between airlines. So to get more sales they lower the prices

You cut out a part of the trip which might be highly booked out. E.g. the seat prices might be more expensive on just one part of the whole trip

You include a low-cost carrier in the overall trip.

Sometimes I found that its best to include the low-cost carrier on the way back:

Sydney -> London -> Singapore (Multicity using one carrier)

Singapore -> Sydney (on a budget airline)

This way you literally end up with an additional holiday where you can rest up. I like to stop in Thailand where it’s super affordable and you can lay on the beach and drink pina coladas.

Things to keep in mind when booking these kinds of flights

always have enough time between the budget and normal airline so as to not miss your flight

If you have checked in Baggage you have to take pick it up when you land at the junction between your 2 flights and check it back in on the new flight.

Check Visa requirements for the country you go to.

Pack some food and water on your budget airline so you don’t have to spend your savings on super overpriced food

Now, this is a really simple technique and can save you hundreds. The most I ever saved was $500. Which went towards my second holiday in Singapore.

You can also use this hack in conjunction with the hack that not even travel agents know about.

So Try it, if you manage to get some savings out of it let me know in the comments below. Also, make sure to share this hack on Facebook so others can enjoy more flights and whilst there like the Mendooutdoors page t get more amazing hacks and content there.

The Travel Hack that not even travel agents know about

When I was a travel agent I used to save people up to $300 on their international flights using this simple travel hack that I came across by accident.

As I was working on commision I had to keep this technique secret, but now that I am out of the game I want to share this technique with everyone.

If you are travelling soon, you could be looking at saving’s of up to $300 yourself. Best of all, it’s so simple you will literally think “Why haven’t I thought about this sooner”

This technique is so powerful your friends are going to be begging you to help them buy their tickets.

Seeing as I’m giving away this information for free all you have to do is share it with them so they also get the benefit out of it.

amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0"; amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "mdo01-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "13a8953b4a681e98bfee4d2b5946c814"; amzn_assoc_asins = "B074W9T3MN,B01GW2GH4M,B0009VC9Y0,B077XPDLNY"; amzn_assoc_search_bar = "false"; amzn_assoc_title = "Ads To Support This Website"; (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

Ok ok No more talking up this Travel hack. It’s time to get right into it

One thing you are probably noticing more and more these days is that VPN (Virtual Proxy Networks) are getting advertised left right and centre.

In all honesty, everyone should get a VPN, first of all, they protect your privacy, make your computer harder to hack and also you can end up saving tons of money using one.

This is where this flight travel hack comes into play.

With a VPN you have the ability to change your browsing location, not only from city to city but also country to country.

This is fantastic news as it allows you to browse pages as if you were in a different country.

When it comes to websites and flight companies many of them will decide who pays more or less. The reason behind it is that some countries have higher incomes and because of that are more likely to part with their cash.

And another reason is that there are some countries with more competition than others. In the game of selling flights, it makes sense to chase up countries which will more likely fill up their planes rather than ones that will leave their planes half empty.

Also with places with higher competition, it means that there are more airlines fighting for your hard earned dollar.

E.g. Not many flights flying from Antarctica to Asia, so the airlines can put whatever prices they want.

On the other hand, there are plenty of airlines fighting for you in Asia to get you on their planes which means that they will have to lower the prices to compete with other airlines.

What will you need for this travel hack

First of all, you will need either a smartphone or a laptop

Next, you will require a VPN. As VPN’s seem to be popping up all over the place it shouldn’t be too difficult to find one.

Here are a few I recommend:

Hola.org – (FREE) a chrome based VPN that you can use quite easily. Just install it in your chrome browser, click on the icon and then change your location. It’s super simple but doesn’t completely protect your computer

ExpressVPN – This is a Paid VPN that I personally use. It’s great as it works both on my Computer, Phone and Tablet.

When looking for a VPN I did plenty of research and found this one to be the best. Not only does it allow me to browse from all around the world but it doesn’t keep any of my browsing data on it’s servers.

In doing so making my browsing safe and private.

It’s one of the fastest ones out on the market and best of all, if you use it regularly to buy things online, you will make your money back on it fast. Click here to buy it

What to do next with the travel hack once you have a VPN

Now it’s time to look at buying some flights. Check out the prices for flights from the country you are browsing from. By doing this you will have prices to compare against in the future.

A good idea is also to browse from a private browser at this point so that flight websites don’t store cookies on your browser.

The website’s say it’s to improve your browsing experience, but from my experience, I know that they can up the prices depending on how many times you search for the flight.

This gives buying tickets a sense of urgency as the prices could possibly continually climb and in doing so make you pay more then you have to.

Many people dispute this claim but seeing as I fly very regularly, I notice this happen very often.

Worse case scenario, the websites won’t be able to track your browsing history.

Konrad, Get into the travel hack already.

Ok, I hear you, you are excited to save some money on your flight. Let’s go

Check out the prices of your flights from the country you are in using a private browser. E.g You are in the United States – Check your flight as if you were regularly browsing

Write down the prices for keepsake and also to compare and close down your Private Browser

Next, change your location using the VPN. Open up a new private browser and search for the same flights but from your new location

That is it, you will at this point see a change in prices or you won’t

This is not a travel hack that guarantees savings on all flights, it is a hack that can and in most cases will save you money on longer international flights.

My experience is that I save anywhere between $20 – $300 dollars on flights

I love this as for something so simple I literally pulled money out of nowhere which I can end up spending while I’m on holidays. Either on new clothes, new experiences or upgrades at hotels.

Did this travel hack work for you? How much savings have you made? Let me know in the comments below

If it did I would recommend picking up a VPN for all your online browsing as it ends up protecting you and your wallet in more ways than you can imagine.

As mentioned before I recommend ExpressVPN and I have been using it for 2 years now without any complaints.

And also a massive recommendation is that try not being the person that purchases people’s tickets. From my own experience of buying tickets for family, if anything goes wrong, they will chase after you to make everything right.

So to avoid that make sure to share this page with them so they can also enjoy the savings you will be making but also I would appreciate it if you passed it on.

Become a Travel God by Incorporating this flight hack into your next trip and make others Envious of all your travel photos.

This Travel hack can get you to or near your destination and best of all it can be more direct than a normal flight, have a fun stop over and also save you large amounts of cash. Sounds too good to be true? Well, it’s not and you should definitely use it on your next trip overseas.

So this is the Ultimate, Super Freaking Awesome Travel Hack‘s Big Brother. In the sense of knowing where you want to go, but taking one-way flights to get to your destination.

Now this hack does require a bit of tinkering about and you won’t necessarily end up at the airport that you intended, but one nearby. In saying that who cares if you have stack loads of cash left over from the flights to spend during your holiday right.

Ok, so for this hack you will require Skyscanner and Google Maps open and you should be browsing in an incognito window (Don’t know why you need the Incognito Window? Click here to find out).

In Skyscanner search for flights out of your nearest airports and select a date. Then click the search button. All the best deals will show up for you.

Now open up Google maps and find which cities or airports are on the way to your destination from the list in Skyscanner.

for example.

Sydney to New York

You will find cities such as Honolulu, New York, San Francisco and Las Vegas

Once you figure out the cities open up another search in Skyscanner and then use the cities that you found in the last results as starting points and type in a date (preferably a day later).

This will now give you a few new options. Now again open up google maps and find the cities that are either on the way that is cheap or closest to your destination or your actual destination.

again back to the example of Sydney to New York

I found that from Honolulu I could fly to Seatle which was only 3 hours away from New York for quite a cheap price.

Now if you find that you still haven’t reached your destination just search for the flights towards your final destination from the cities that are in between the previous search results and your final airport.

With my example, Sydney to New York I found that a standard one-way flight was around $900 but with this hack, I was able to find flights in the vicinity of $680.

One flight was with Jetstar. Sydney to Honolulu with a 24 hour stop over there. The next one was from Honolulu to Seattle on Delta. Yes there is a stopover and yes it’s not to the final destination but it’s fairly direct and it saves $220 on the flight. Plus you can save on your accommodation using Couchsurfing and in the meantime meet some cool locals.

Well that is is for this hack. If you found this hack useful comment in the comments below as this keep me motivated to write more and as usual make sure to share this page with others and for more posts like this like Men Do Outdoors on Facebook
