Thrifty Traveler Co-Founder Nick Serati

Thrifty Traveler aims to make travel more affordable for the general public. Nick discusses how he and Co-Fouder Jared Kamrowski saw inefficiencies in the commercial aviation marketplace along with great fare deals through their own travel experiences through credit card points and miles and got to know the landscape well. The site started to help people understand points and miles. They saw fare deals that were not getting properly spotlighted though and started morphing their business to quench the interest of cash saving flight deals. Nick discusses starting their own business alerting their customer base to these great options. Nick was working in consulting, while Jared was prying his career in finance. In 2015, the childhood friends decided to leave their careers and full-time jobs and start Thrifty Traveler. Nick covers how as the business has developed and the service at its core is that it's an AI search machine that finds incredible fare deals for Thrifty's subscriber base. Nick shares that while the service absolutely serves the domestic travelers, the biggest savings are seen internationally. Nick says most Thrifty deals at minimum are $250 of savings. They can be much larger.

Nick recounts over the years as Thrifty just celebrated its 7th birthday the incredible fare deals, he's seen. He also takes the listener inside the difficulties of covid lockdowns and the difficulties his business faced with most people grounded from air travel. Additionally, masking restrictions, international covid testing, airline passenger safety while flying are all factors that still play in. Nonetheless with most flights back in business Thrifty Traveler presses on to provide their passengers the greatest savings. Their subscription service is not expensive. Nick will tell you how one fare savings though their service can cover the monthly or annual subscription fee many times over.
