Genius Flight, exactly what I was waiting for

Booking a vacation with seven girlfriends is quite a task. The question ‘where are we going?’ took a few days to figure out. Ibiza it was. A week later we canceled it again. Four days was just too short and a waste of money (Ibiza is really super expensive). Not everyone has the same budget, of course. One is also going on vacation with a boyfriend, another just bought four tickets to Lowlands, I'm in the middle of a move and would rather spend my money on a new couch than on a very expensive vacation.

Flying to the French sun was on sale, so that's what we went for. Do you recognize this problem? Then I'm going to make your life a lot easier and more fun from now on.

Yesterday I was surprised here at the editorial office by a flight attendant from Genius Flight. She gave me a small rolling suitcase and asked if I was ready to take off. I was a bit overwhelmed, but hey, who doesn't want to go on a trip.

Genius Flight is a site where you don't search by location, but by budget. Enter how much you can spend on a ticket and on what date you want to leave. The computer finds the destinations within your budget. Easy, right? This way you also come up with fun ideas for where to fly to. So for example, I could be in Copenhagen next month for less than 100 euros. I wouldn't have thought of that myself, but it's not a bad idea, right?

I'm going to treat myself to a little trip. Now I just need someone to come with me.
