Best Time to Buy Plane Tickets? January

By 20-somethinglife | January 17, 2018

According to Travel and Leisure, via Skyscanner and Hipmunk, the start of the new year to about mid-February is the best time to buy plane tickets as prices will be the lowest. Domestic flights are, on average, 16% cheaper in the first six weeks of the year than during the rest of the year. International flights can be as much as 36% cheaper than the yearly average. Make sure to take advantage of these deals now and don’t wait until March. In March, it’s projected that international ticket prices could be as much as 56% higher than the yearly average.

Additionally, January is the most “cost-effective month” to travel, so if you didn’t travel much over the holidays and are looking to travel on a budget, this may be a good choice for you. We’d recommend picking out a tropical destination to escape winter for a bit.

Some travel apps and sites that we recommend checking out to track ticket prices are:

So take that fresh batch of PTO days and plan a trip to that destination you’ve always had on your list. Or, book that flight to the summer wedding you RSVP’d to and save quite a bit of money.

Happy traveling!

Song of the Day: See You Again (Tritonal Remix)

By 20-somethinglife | January 13, 2018

Yes, we know the last song of the day was a Tritonal remix but this remix that was released yesterday is too good not to post. Remixing “See You Again” is a tough gamble because that song is nearly perfect as is and it’s always a risk to take something universally loved and tweak it. Tritonal effectively kept the best parts of “See You Again” intact and added a new emotional layer to it with a beautiful guitar riff, quality drum samples, and energetic synths to drive the chorus home. Take a listen below as this one isn’t on Spotify yet (much like their last remix we posted).

Song of the Day: A Different Way (Tritonal Remix) – DJ Snake & Lauv

By 20-somethinglife | January 8, 2018

We’ve never been short of appreciation for Tritonal in the past and their remix of DJ Snake’s “A Different Way” is yet another showcase of their ability to put their own beautiful touch on a track. The original chorus by DJ Snake wasn’t terrible, but in some ways it didn’t seem to fit with the soft tone of the vocals. Tritonal managed to do an incredible job of adding new synths and a new feel to the chorus to match the vocal tone and make the overall sound seem more complete. This one isn’t on Spotify yet, so take a listen below and check back for it later.

Song of the Day: I Want You (Kuur Remix) – Robotaki & Manila Killa

By 20-somethinglife | December 26, 2017

Kuur put a great future bass spin on Robotaki & Manila Killa’s “I Want You”. Keeping the ethereal vocals flowing through the verse, Kuur was able to set up a moving chorus that’s a ton of fun to vibe out to. This is definitely a kick back and feel good type song and one we had to include on an upcoming Ryse Radio episode. Listen to it below!
