Meet ( Daniel Brooks)
Lead Researcher
Daniel Brooks has spent over (07) years inside the numbers of budget travel analyzing fare data across hundreds of routes,
dissecting airline baggage fee structures, comparing hotel loyalty redemption rates across 15+ programs, and tracking
how flight prices move in the 8 weeks before departure.
How Fly Budgeter Researches Travel Prices
- 200+ flight routes across the US, Europe, Asia and Latin America, identifying the pricing windows where
travelers consistently overpay by 30–60%
- 50+ budget hotel chains and hostel networks, ranked by value-per-dollar across 30 destination cities
- 25+ travel rewards credit cards, compared on sign-up bonuses, earning rates, redemption flexibility and
real-world value per point
- 40+ booking platforms and flight comparison tools, tested for price accuracy and fee transparency
Rather than relying on personal travel stories, Daniel’s process is built on real-time data live fare comparisons,
Our Research Philosophy
loyalty program terms, and side-by-side analysis across platforms. The goal: give budget travelers research-grade
answers without the research effort.
Every guide on FlyBudgeter is built through a structured
How We Research
research process:
1. Live price comparison, we pull fare data across multiple booking engines at the same time to identify genuine price gaps, not cached results
2. Policy review, airline baggage rules, hotel cancellation terms and loyalty program conditions are reviewed directly from official sources
3. Historical pricing analysis, we track how prices move over time for specific routes and destinations to identify the optimal booking window
4. Platform testing, booking tools and travel apps are tested hands-on for accuracy, hidden fees and user experienc. We update guides when fares, policies or program terms change because a guide based on last year’s prices is the same as no guide at all.
