Fly Smarter: How I Save 60% on Flights with This Simple Trick

Have you ever wondered if there’s a secret to flying cheaper without compromising comfort? I’ve been traveling extensively on a budget, and I’ve discovered one trick that has transformed how I book flights: becoming a mystery shopper for airlines. Not only do I get to experience and review services, but I also get 60% of my flight reimbursed! Let me take you through how it works and how you can start doing it too.

My Secret to Affordable Flights

I recently used this trick on a flight from Amsterdam to Tetouan, and it was surprisingly simple. Mystery shopping for airlines doesn’t feel like work at all—it's more about observing details and occasionally snapping photos during your journey. The best part? You can still relax, enjoy the flight, and even take a nap. It’s a win-win for budget-conscious travelers.

With this hack, you'll save hundreds of euros on flights, allowing you to travel more often and experience premium services without the premium price tag.

How Does the Airline Audit Work?

The audit process is straightforward and designed to make it easy for you to participate while ensuring valuable feedback for the airline. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

  1. Purchase Your Ticket
    You book your flight like any regular traveler, selecting dates and airlines that suit your plans. Check with me first if there is an available slot for the specific route you want to take. Only one mystery shopper is allowed per flight route per month.
  2. Send Me Your Ticket
    Once booked, you will email us a copy of your ticket. This ensures you’re registered as the mystery shopper for that flight.
  3. Receive an online one hour training
    You will hop on a call with one of our trainers, so you will be prepared for your audit.
  4. Receive the Audit Checklist
    Before your flight, you will receive a detailed checklist and guidelines. These include specific areas to observe during your journey, such as:
    • Check-in process (speed, staff behavior)
    • Boarding experience (organization, announcements)
    • In-flight service (crew interactions, cleanliness, meal quality)
    • Disembarkation process (efficiency, communication)
  5. Enjoy Your Flight While Observing
    On the day of your trip, discreetly note your experiences. Snap a few photos where appropriate, but avoid capturing other passengers or staff directly. Relax and enjoy your journey—you don’t need to be active the entire time.
  6. Submit the Audit Within 24 Hours
    After the flight, fill out the audit form with your observations and attach any required photos. Submit this within 24 hours to qualify for reimbursement.
  7. Receive Your Reimbursement
    If your audit meets quality standards (completeness, accuracy), you’ll be reimbursed 60% of your ticket price via your preferred payment method.

Why This Works

Airlines use mystery shopping to evaluate their services and identify areas for improvement. By acting as a secret reviewer, you help them understand their strengths and weaknesses, from check-in experiences to in-flight services. In return, you get reimbursed for your efforts—making it the perfect opportunity for travelers like you.

Why You Should Try It

Let’s talk about what makes this so appealing.

  1. You save money: Who wouldn’t want a cheaper flight?
  2. Low effort: Observations and a quick report are all it takes.
  3. It’s exclusive: Not everyone knows about this, and spots fill up fast.
  4. Emotional appeal: Think about the pride of flying smarter than others and enjoying extra savings for your next adventure.
