And what are other ways that you can save some money, get some money back, or just, like, be a little bit more conscious about money as you're trying to travel and looking at flights and, like, seeing bonkers flight prices?
还有什么其他方法可以让帮你省下一些钱、拿回一些钱,或者只是在尝试旅行、查看航班和看到疯狂的机票价格时,对钱有更多的意识?
My number-one tip -- and I will put this on my tombstone so people remember it far after I'm gone -- set up price alerts.
我的首要建议——我会把它写在我的墓碑上,这样人们在我离开很久之后还能记得——设置价格提醒。
Wherever you are planning on traveling, if you have specific dates in mind or you have a specific destination in mind but you're flexible on dates, go on to Google Flights or skyscanner.Com or there are a number of other websites that do this.
无论你计划去哪里旅行,如果计划了一个具体的日期,或者有一个具体的目的地,但你在日期上比较灵活,那就去谷歌航班或天巡网,或者还有许多其他的网站也可以。
Plug in that information and let the Internet do the work for you.
输入相关信息,让互联网为你服务。
You will get an e-mail that says "your flight to Trinidad is $200 cheaper today than it was yesterday.
你会收到一封电子邮件,上面写着:“你飞往特立尼达的航班今天比昨天便宜了200美元。”
Book now," or there are windows for the month of March through September that you can find this cheaper flight to Ireland, and you can save hundreds of dollars this way.
现在预订,或者在3月到9月期间有窗口可以找到更便宜的飞往爱尔兰的航班,这样你可以节省数百美元。
You can also get insight from Google Flights that say "this is a higher rate than you should be booking, like, don't book your flight today."
你还可以从谷歌航班上了解到 “这个价格比您应该预订的价格要高,比如,不要预订今天的航班”。
And so if you're not checking those flight alerts and comparing what are flight price is looking like today, you could be out a lot of money. So easiest tip, takes minutes to do. Couldn't recommend it enough.
因此,如果你不查看那些航班提醒,不比较一下今天的机票价格,你可能会损失很多钱。所以,这是最简单的建议,只需要几分钟就能完成。我非常推荐。
If there's still room on my tombstone, I would like to plug one more travel thing for everybody to download and do -- Mobile Passport Control.
如果我的墓碑上还有空间,我想再为大家推荐一个旅行应用程序供大家下载和使用——移动护照控制。
If you are traveling internationally this summer or ever, there is a free app that is essentially an even faster version of Global Entry, and for whatever reason, there are ads for this.
如果您今年夏天或以后要进行国际旅行,有一款免费应用程序基本上是更快版本的全球入境系统,但不知出于什么原因,这款应用程序有广告。
You see signs for it at the airport, but no one is using it.
你在机场看到了它的标志,但没有人在使用它。
So when I came back from Paris, it took me eight minutes because I timed it to go from the airplane to being outside in fresh air, hailing my Uber.
所以当我从巴黎回来的时候,我计时了一下,从我下飞机到呼吸到室外的新鲜空气中,叫到我的Uber,只花了八分钟。
It is quick to download, and even if you forgot to do it before your trip, download Mobile Passport Control from Customs and Border Patrol. You take a selfie, you input a couple things. You skip all of the lines.
下载速度很快,即使你在旅行前忘记下载,也可以从海关和边境巡逻队下载移动护照控制应用程序。你可以自拍,输入一些信息,然后就可以跳过所有的排队。
It's so fast, it's so amazing and yet people seem to be afraid of it or don't know about it.
速度很快,令人惊讶,然而人们似乎害怕或者不知道这个软件。
So this is my begging the traveling public get out of line and download Mobile Passport Control.
所以,我恳请广大旅客摆脱排队的困扰,下载移动护照控制应用程序。
That is so smart. Thank you for that.
这很机智,太谢谢你了。
I think the one other part of saving money on flights that I've been curious about recently is economy airlines. Like, I feel like there are more of these.
我想,最近我对节省机票钱的另一个部分感到好奇,那就是经济舱。比如,我觉得这样的航班比较多。
Like, it almost feels like the -- like, airlines have headed in two different directions.
就好像,这几乎感觉就像——就好像,航空公司已经走向了两个不同的方向。
Like, there are the big names that we know like the American and the Delta and United. And a lot of people take those things.
比如说,有一些我们熟知的大航空公司,比如美国航空、达美航空和联合航空。很多人会选择这些航空公司。
But I feel like I'm seeing a lot of these airlines that I've never heard before.
但是我感觉我看到了很多我以前从未听说过的航空公司。
I went to New Haven recently and took Avelo, which we got to the to the airport, and the person who was driving me was like, "I, like, where are we go-- Where am I dropping you off?"
我最近去了纽黑文,乘坐了Avelo航空公司的航班,我们到了机场,开车送我的人说:“我,呃,我们要去哪里——我要把你送到哪里?”
And we had to drive all the way to the end of the airport. And there was one little sign that said Avelo.
我们不得不一路开车到机场的尽头。那里有一个小牌子,上面写着Avelo。
How much should we be looking at these smaller airlines?
我们应该对这些较小的航空公司关注多少呢?
Like, is there anything to be concerned about when it comes to these names that some people haven't heard of before, both here in the U.S. and even more internationally?
比如说,对于这些有些人以前从未听说过的名字,在美国国内,甚至在国际上,有没有什么值得关注的地方?
There are pros and cons of going with an ultra-low-cost carrier or a new kind of start-up airline.
选择超低成本航空公司或新型初创航空公司各有利弊。
Sometimes you might be dazzled by low prices and think, "Wow, why shouldn't I take this $200 round-trip flight?"
有时候你可能会被低价弄得眼花缭乱,然后想,“哇,为什么我不选择这趟200美元的往返航班呢?”
