Hidden Travel Perks Only Savvy Frequent Flyers Know How to Use

5. Buy Flight Vouchers from People Who Can’t Use Them

Most travelers don’t realize that unused airline vouchers can be bought at a fraction of their original value. Many people receive travel credits from canceled flights or compensation claims but can't use them before expiration. Instead of letting them go to waste, they sell them at a discount. Websites and travel forums often have listings where you can find these vouchers, sometimes at 30–50% off their face value. Be sure to check the airline’s policy on transferable vouchers—some allow it with restrictions, while others require a small name change fee. This is an easy way to reduce airfare costs without the hassle of complicated booking tricks. The key is to act fast, as sellers often need to offload vouchers quickly before they expire. Always verify the legitimacy of the voucher before making a purchase to ensure you're getting a legitimate deal.
