I usually search once every two or three weeks, and just keep a screenshot of the chart to see what has changed or what not. Keep an eye on the chart and also keep an eye on promotions that airlines do - such as random Fathers Day X% off etc.

Also not sure if this is allowed, but if not then just delete this post.

But for those who are starting to travel, I started using a Wise card (can refer those who DM me). Thought I would share:

- Essentially it acts as a prepaid debit/credit card.
- You deposit CAD into your Wise account and you can instantly convert it to any other currency via the app. I find the rates are pretty good - same as google rates.
- You can also take out cash at the ATM in foreign countries using the card as well.
- If you travel to multiple countries, you can convert leftover currencies into the next location so you never really 'lose' out on random leftover cash.
- The app is well made in which you can see how much is on the card, apple pay capabilities, etc. Only downside is you can't get any cc points...
