In case you don’t know Scott… Scott Keyes is the founder of Scott’s Cheap Flights, a travel platform with over two million members around the world. It’s been called “the travel world’s best-kept secret” by Thrillist and received praise in The New York Times and The Washington Post, among others.

When he's not on a plane, he lives in Portland, Oregon.
