They usually one offs, or can you get..say, six or seven seats on a flight at prices like that?

I don't know. But there were empty seats on my flight back. In fact they moved me and I had enough empty seats to lay down.

How I search for flights, and why I perfer skyscanner is that they give you the option to search from all of the USA (or a specific city) and they give you a 'cheapest month' option.

So say I want to go to Spain, I search like that, and lo and behold there is a 179$ flight from LA to barcelona at the end of September (and a similar one from Chicago). So then I just need to figure out how to get to Los Angelous and where to Leave my RV. So what I'd probably do is either leave my RV in eastern washington, find a super cheap flight or grayhound from Seattle to LA or drive down to Joshua Tree where I know someone I can leave my RV with long term, drop it with them and take a 20$ shuttle bus to LA.

Again, it really only works if you have long chunks of time off and flexibility.

Actually this is a pretty useful conversation, I should be this in my book.

Then the other thing is that once you get to many of these places, they are way cheaper to live in than in the US. So I actually end up spending less money backpacking and biking through Spain than I would just living my normal life, because Spain is so goddamn cheap. Mexico and South America are like, even cheaper than that.
