Overpriced airline tickets
Over the years I have spent thousands of hours researching how to fly internationally for cheap and even free. This has allowed my family to travel all over the world while not breaking their bank accounts. Overpriced airline tickets are making it hard for expats and travelers. Like many other countries around the world, COVID-19 has increased ticket prices from Costa Rica to the United States. Flights I normally would take have doubled and even tripled.
