Over the past year, the average international trip for an American traveler

0:30.0

cost $6,080, with Norway being the most expensive destination for Americans coming in at a

0:38.2

whopping $9,754.54. But if you're listening to this podcast, thankfully you know it doesn't have to be

1:38.8

expense when it comes to international travel is going to be the airfare getting there and

1:44.6

getting home. We've been able to figure out two ways to make that airfare way

1:49.7

way way way way way way way less than the average American traveler is paying.
