14 Ways to Find Legitimate Flight Deals (Without Getting Scammed)

12. Watch Out for “Voucher” Scams on Social Media

You’ve seen them—a viral post offering $500 flight vouchers for filling out a survey or “liking” a page. These scams prey on excitement and urgency, often mimicking major airlines with stolen logos or misspelled handles. Clicking through usually leads to phishing sites that harvest personal info or install malware. Always verify travel deals through the airline’s official site or trusted aggregators. If it looks like a gift but asks for sensitive information up front, it’s probably a trap. Free flights don’t come in DMs—they come from solid strategy and a little luck.
