Hack Your Flights completely changed the way I approach air travel. The breakdown of airlines and the comparison of travel credit cards were especially helpful, since those are areas that always confused me. Having it all explained in one place felt like having a personal coach.

The style of the writing also made it easy to digest. It’s thorough without being overwhelming, and full of insights that make you think, “why didn’t I know this before?” I’m already seeing results I booked smarter, avoided extra fees, and even slept better on my last long-haul trip. I’ll be recommending this to everyone I know who travels.

I loved how this book combined practical hacks with exciting glimpses into the future of air travel. The chapters on child-free zones and sleeping pods made me realize how quickly the industry is evolving, and it was fascinating to read about it. At the same time, the author provides advice I could immediately put into action on my last trip.

It’s that mix of current, useful strategies and future insights that makes the book so worthwhile. It made me more confident about booking flights and gave me tools to make the whole process smoother. I’ve already told several friends about it, and I expect I’ll be lending it out often.

Travel has always been stressful for me, but this book was a game changer. Hack Your Flights is packed with practical tips that actually work from booking smarter to knowing which airlines to avoid. I especially appreciated the breakdown of travel credit cards, because it helped me choose one that fit my needs.

The author doesn’t just share generic advice, but real insights that make you feel more prepared for every step of the journey. I’ve already applied a few hacks on my last trip, and the difference was night and day. This is going to be my permanent travel companion.

Finally, a travel guide that doesn’t feel outdated or generic. The fact that it’s updated for 2025 made me feel confident I wasn’t wasting my time on old advice. The section on airline safety ratings was eye-opening and gave me a lot more peace of mind before booking my next flight.

What stood out the most is how comprehensive it is. It’s not just about saving money it covers sleep, comfort, apps, airports, and even little things you wouldn’t think of. I found myself highlighting entire sections because they’re so useful.

I didn’t expect to enjoy a “how-to” travel book this much, but it’s written in such an easy-to-follow way that I couldn’t put it down. The part about in-flight sleeping pods and child-free zones really showed me what’s coming in the future of air travel, and it’s exciting.

What makes it special is that the advice is both practical for today and forward-looking. I’ve already shared some hacks with friends, and they were amazed at how much money I saved on my last booking. This is an essential read for frequent flyers.

This book deserves a spot on every traveler’s shelf (or Kindle). It’s not just a random collection of tips, but a full resource that covers everything from safety to apps to comfort. The attention to detail is impressive, and yet it’s still easy to flip through and find exactly what you need.

What I enjoyed most is how practical it all felt. I’ve already used several of the hacks successfully, and I know I’ll keep going back for more. My last trip was smoother, cheaper, and far less stressful because of this book. For me, that’s the best kind of endorsement.

Every traveler has horror stories, and this book helps prevent them. From the start, I could tell the author knew exactly what frustrates people about flying the long waits, the bad bookings, the hidden costs. The hacks about sleeping and comfort were a lifesaver for me. I actually managed to rest on a long flight for the first time in years.

The best part is how well organized the book is. It’s not something you just read once you can go back and quickly find the right tip before a trip. For me, that’s what makes it invaluable. I know I’ll keep returning to it before every flight.

[Phillip Jacobson · Rating 2 out of 5]

I bought this expecting a few simple tips, but instead I found an entire toolkit for flying smarter. From the section on apps alone, I changed the way I navigate airports and it worked better than I could have imagined. It’s clear, practical advice that really makes a difference.

What surprised me most is how much peace of mind it gave me. Instead of dreading my next trip, I actually feel prepared and even a little excited to try out more hacks. It’s the kind of book you keep on hand and return to every time you plan a flight. In my opinion, it’s one of the best travel resources I’ve read.

[Charlotte Robinson · Rating 5 out of 5]

As someone who flies a few times a month for work, I thought I knew all the tricks but this book proved me wrong. The hacks are clear, smart, and surprisingly easy to apply. Even the airport app recommendations made my last layover so much smoother.

The value here is enormous. Instead of learning from trial and error, you get decades of insights in one book. It feels like having a personal travel coach in your bag. I’ll be recommending this to colleagues who travel as much as I do.

[Gerald Lynn · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’m not usually a fan of guidebooks, but this one grabbed me from the start. The writing is engaging, and the author clearly understands what makes flying so frustrating. The sections on ticket pricing alone have already saved me more than the cost of the book.

But it’s not just about money it’s about making flying less stressful. I now feel more in control, whether it’s choosing an airline, picking the right seat, or knowing what apps to download. That confidence is priceless.
