I travel a lot and like to think that I have very good "scammer radar" due to my computer nerdiness / online business background. When I go to Hong Kong once a year from the East coast, that trip usually is always waaaay over $477USD.
I always scour the internet for the best deals using Flight Scanner, Expedia, Google flights and so on... and also know that normally to get the best deals on International flights you want to target the purchase about 7 weeks before departure.
So when my wife told me of this deal her friend got, my scammer alarm bells were going off big time, but now that I have donesome research on this company, I noticed they had these kinds of deals: San Diego to Maui, Hawaii for $368 USD - California to Barcelona, Spain for $356 USD - Miami to Paris, France $360 USD and so on..
After checking them out, they are the real deal. They find these great travel time windows / deals, then they give you a link to the actual travel booking website like CheapOAir (I have used and are legit) Vayama, etc... then you enter a coupon code to get a discount and I am assuming their website gets a kickback from that discount code / booking website.
I am not getting any commissions (unfortunately) and I do not have any affiliation to them. Here are some sweet deals they have that are still live at the time of this post
From San Diego to Maui, Hawaii for $368 USD
Miami to Paris, France $360 USD
Oakland California to Barcelona, Spain for $356 USD
From Los Angeles to Hong Kong, Thailand, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore & Taiwan for $477 USD!
The above deals are from the USA, but for my friends in Mexico, Panama, Chile, Peru and Columbia they also have these deals directly from your country. Just click on your country flag at the top of their website.
Some points to pay attention to:
(1) The reason you may never have heard of them is that their website is in Spanish only. https://www.gurudeviaje.com Someone their needs to hire an English web designer and their business would take off for sure... but have no fear! Google chrome can translate it for you on the fly or use this link which Google has translated it to English for you

(2) In some case you need to enter their coupon code when booking to get the full discount. Keep in mind some of the older deals on their website might either be sold out or the airlines may have jacked up the prices as they sell through the available seats... so as with any good deals, it's first come, first served!
(3) Pay close attention to the dates to fly on the GuruDeViaje website. Those are the date windows you have to manually enter on the booking website and since did this homework for you... I know... getting crazy deals is a lot of work ;)
(4) They also have cell phone apps / facebook page if you want the get the latest travel alerts.
I hope my first post was of value to you, I will put up some ninja travel hacks in my next post...
Peace everyone.
