***********************************************************WHO AM I? Hey there,
may I shortly introduce myself? :) I am Brina, 29 years old and my home is not a certain country, but "the Earth" as I believe! The travel bug I caught quiete a while ago! Meanwhile I've been traveling around the world for over two and a half years (and still on the go)!!! :)
While traveling I completely organise my
trips by myself without the help of any agencies or travel operators. This made me gain all the "insider knowledge" neccessary to find the cheapest flights under the sun!! ;)
************************************************************
THE IDEA
Every now and then I help a friend by "investigating" them a much cheaper flight than they were able to find themselves. I thought it was a good thing to help out my low-budget travel companions since I believe we travelers should all support each other. :)
Therefore I decided that from now on I wll share my "cheap-flight-finding-skills" with EVERYONE! I'll help YOU find a flight price that fits your budget - and here comes the best: I'm not even going to charge you for it!!!!
************************************************************
OKAY, SOUNDS COOL! HOW DOES IT WORK? My travel friends, to find you the cheapest flight available you'll need to be AS FLEXIBLE as you can. Are you maybe able to fly from different airports that are close to you? Or is there maybe a whole month when you could possibly start your trip? The more flexibility, the better! So, once you've decided to send me a request please try to let me know all the following information:
1) Number of people who want to travel
2) All possible airports to depart from
3) All possible airports to arrive to
4) The flight date/period (one-way or return)
5) Amount of luggage
6) Maximum amounts and duration of stop-overs
7) Any airlines excluded from the search
8) Any other special wishes
9) Very important: when do you need my search results? Give me a definite date!
10) Which is the cheapest flight YOU could find? I need the weblink and price since this is a challenge!! ;)
Good example for a request:
"Hey Brina, I want to fly to New York from any airport in North Italy between the 15th and 30th June (and return after two weeks). I will travel with one friend and we will have one piece of luggage (20kg) each. We are happy to fly with any airline and up to two stop-overs are fine. The cheapest flight I have found so far was 653€, here's the link: # # #.com. Please let me know your results until June 1st." This request gives me all neccessary information for the seach, and still leaves some flexibility. Let the search start and hope we have the goodwill of the travel god!!! ;)
************************************************************
WHAT I WILL DO
Once you have submitted your request I will start to look for your flights as soon as possible and come back to you by the agreed date latest. Don't forget that flight prices can change quickly and that I cannot guarantee you a stabile price for a long time. Once I have told you it is up to you to book as soon as possible. If you are superbusy at this moment I am more than happy to assist you with the booking process as well, also for free of course! Just let me know!
************************************************************
HOW CAN I THANK YOU, BRINA? First of all I want to mention that this is not a business and this service was not created to make my living. However, in exchange for the time and knowedge that I needed to put into your search I ask you for an OPTIONAL DONATION of between 15 and 20% of the money that I could help you to safe to show your appreciation. Let me explain this with an example: If you found a flight from A to B for $1.000 and I found you one for $500 you will have safed as much as $500 if you decided to book it. In this case I would ask you to donate me up to $100 (20%) out of of the money that I made you safe and you still pay $400 than you would have paid without my help. I think that sounds like a fair deal, hay? In the end of the day you will still have received a free service and you won't have spent any money out of your pocket. You will have saved a certain amount of money and just rewarded me with only a little amount of your saved money. And still fly much cheaper than you would have without my service. It's totally up to you to share a small amount of your "benefit" with me depending on how satisfied you were with my service. :) Deal, or what? Oh, and to reward your friends who recommended the Brina Challenge to you. Ask them for "the code" and I will reward them with $5 each time a booking has come about. Because friends deserve to be rewarded for good advices, don't they? :)
************************************************************
WHY THE BRINA CHALLENGE? First of all: WHY NOT??? Since I offer you a completely free service, what do you have to lose? In the worst case I cannot find you a cheaper flight than you have already found, but that only means that you are great at finding cheap flights yourself and you don't need my help! Congratulations! ;) However, it's always worth a try, isn't it?! Secondly: I am really good at it. Why do I have this self-confidence about it..? :) Well, besides much practice (I know where to look and how..) and a free service (I don't charge any fees or commission) I think there's one factor that is most important for success: being really ambitious about finding good deals. In fact I am super stingy myself and don't want to spend any penny more than neccessary for something so unspectacular like my transport. And who would be a more suitable person to find you a cheap deal than a passionate and well-practiced penny pincher!? :P Seriously, there's way better things to invest in... like cocktails on the beach for example! ;)
