HOW I BOOKED A FLIGHT TO SPAIN FOR $79!

One of my travel apps alerted me to an amazing deal from Chicago to Madrid for $379, available in October and November!

I went into my Capital One Venture X travel portal and found the deal. When I went to check out I applied my $300 travel credit that is a benefit of the Capital one Venture X Card. (This is an annual benefit, that gets reset each year.)

This brought my ticket to $79!!

My husband also has this card, so I went into his portal and booked him a ticket too, also for $79.

If you are a credit card user, the Venture X is one of my favorites for travel! It has a higher annual fee, but offers SO many benefits that outweigh it!

If you’re not a credit card user, this flight to Madrid for $379 is still an AMAZING deal! The flight is through Air Portugal.

Let me know if you have other questions about how to find good travel deals with credit card perks!

Happy Planning! ✈️

Finding affordable flights can feel overwhelming, but utilizing credit card travel perks can significantly lessen costs. For example, the Capital One Venture X card offers a $300 annual travel credit that can be applied towards purchases made through their travel portal, making high-priced tickets much more accessible. By booking during off-peak months, like October and November, many travelers can also take advantage of lower prices. In addition to discounts, look out for airlines that provide additional perks such as free price drop protection or bonus miles for future flights. If you aren't a credit card user, you can still uncover affordable flights through various travel apps and booking websites that compare prices across different airlines. Remember to check cancellation policies and flexible booking options, especially in today's travel environment. Following these tips can help you and your travel companions enjoy unforgettable experiences without breaking the bank. Happy planning and safe travels!
