I work from home. Travel a lot. I've used many deals that I was turned on to via Secret Flying. Particularly, a flight from Vancouver to Dublin for $99, and a flight from Sao Paulo to Vancouver for $169. As you said flexibility is key. In the case of Sau Paulo, I lived in Buenos Aires, but it was still way cheaper for me to get a flight up there with GOL than pay a regular priced flight from BA. I also used a Scoot 40% discount you turned me onto to get a round trip flight from Berlin to Hong Kong, returning via Taipei for $240. Also flying Scoot in February to return to Berlin from Bali. I paid less than $130 one-way for this ticket. So thank you so much for the money I have saved.
Often the deals you show send you to a variety of international versions of that site. So maybe a deal sends you to Kayak Italy, or Skyscanner UK, etc. Why would this work? Don't these versions merely convert to the local currency, and change the language? Why would a ticket be cheaper on kayak.com vs. kayak.de for example?

I love that Google Flights allows you to use an entire region as a destination, but why do you have to pick a specific city for departure? Is there any way to search one region (say Europe) to another region (say USA), or one region (Europe) to a specific city? I live in Berlin, but the airport here is pretty tiny, so for transatlantic flights, I usually fly to the cheapest airport in Europe, then depart from there, but it's a pain in the ass finding which airport is cheapest. I usually need to reverse it, and hope that the price remains cheap when I switch it back with the airport identified as cheapest, but this isn't always the case.

My music theory teacher, when we were discussing how much, or little money you'd ever make as a musician used Jonathan Wolff as an example. Apparently, he makes something like the equivalent to 30 cents or something every time his bass line is played. Probably doesn't sound like a lot, but consider the international syndication of Seinfeld... he didn't have to work another day in his life.
