Don't Somalis judge you for traveling alone? Somalis think only nutjobs travel alone
Walahi Yankees are reer baadiye. Who uses a travel agent anymore? I use ticket comparing engines skyscanner. They have few hidden options like month graphes, prices can severely differ in the same month.
Skyscanner sucks!
If you are a solo traveler within the US I suggest you use Skiplagged (the way it works is funny...you enter your destinations...it’ll find you a cheap airfare ..there’s a catch..the city you intend to go is the layover , therefore you just exit the airport.NEVER CHECK-in a bag ).
I love Priceline ...almost always will give you a cheap fare as long as you have flexible dates and you click that flexible dates box
Another under the radar website is Google flights ...you can literally see a whole 3 month’s airfare...you can get that idea from them and then you can plug those dates into Priceline to get a cheap cheap cheap airfare.
Another big suggestion, if your adventurous, is to chop up your itinerary. In other words cut a ticket that’s not all the way connected. For instance...if you going to Mogadishu from Minneapolis have it this way ...first check the major airports (major hubs)...MN to Chicago...Chicago to Nairobi...Nairobi to Mogadishu...make sure you have a big time space between flights, in Nairobi have couple of days between them..
