How to Score Free Flights: 8 Ways to Fly For FREE!

Let's be honest, the word "FREE" probably caught your eye and brought you here! From savvy saving tips to clever spending habits, Filipinos do love a good bargain. We're pretty sure this knack for getting more for your money extends to how you spend on travel, too.

To make those #travelgoals a reality, we'd likely take on every #savingschallenge imaginable because, let's face it – nobody travels without spending a single peso. Right? But take it from us, you absolutely can travel for free. And the best bit? Some of the ways you can snag yourself free flights might already be part of your everyday routine. Easy as pie!

1. Join a contest

Before you roll your eyes and say that nobody ever wins these things, let us tell you that there’s no harm in trying. Just fill in those raffle tickets. Who knows? You might just be the lucky winner.

2. Volunteer

Volunteer work can take you across the globe for free. The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) mobilises individuals willing to be deployed in countries with ongoing projects.

The World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms or WWOOF, on the other hand, gives interested individuals the chance to work with partner farms all around the world.

3. Apply for a grant

There are many grants you could apply for these days. This involves a lot of effort and research, but getting busy with a passion project won’t feel like work at all.

4. Teach English

Teaching English can also bring you to your dream destination for free. A quick online search will reveal several opportunities in all continents of the world.

5. Use the parent card

If your parents suddenly present you with the idea of travelling with them, say yes in a heartbeat. You know this most likely means a subsidised — if not free — vacation. And you get to spend time with family, which is always a major plus.

6. Ask for travel gift cards

When there’s a special occasion and people start asking you what you want as a gift, try floating the idea of a travel gift certificate. Don’t forget to return the favour when you can!

7. Get a credit card with travel rewards

Some credit cards come with travel rewards. If you’re both a credit user and an avid traveller, you can hit two birds with one stone by getting yourself a card that earns you travel points.
