In 2013, Scott Keyes found the best flight deal he'd ever seen: $130 roundtrip from New York City to Milan.
He wasn't planning on going to Milan, but simply couldn't pass up such a good deal.
When he returned home, his friends and colleagues started asking him to let them know the next time he found a great flight deal.
The email list he built was the start of Scott's Cheap Flights.
Today, Scott's Cheap Flights serves over 1,600,000 members around the world and has a distributed team of over thirty travel aficionados.
