What’s the best way to save money on your summer vacation?

A. Look for deals on travel sites B. Rack up extra travel miles on your credit card C. Spend hours researching flights online D. Forget about leaving your office and just rewatch “The Office” again The answer, unsurprisingly, is none of the above. The best way to save money on your next vacation, or on any trip you want to take, is by letting Next Vacay find cheap flights for you. Next Vacay is a program created by Naveen Dittakavi, a software developer outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Dittakavi developed a system to automatically search through countless airfare sites, identifying great deals on flights going in and out of specific airports. Next Vacay tracks when flights go on sale, when competing airlines drop their prices, and when human error inputs a flight at a much lower rate than usual. These deals are temporary, with some only lasting a few hours. Next Vacay sends you an email notification of these deals so you don’t have to check Google Flights every few hours.

It’s easy to daydream about getting out of the office and seeing the world. Next Vacay’s

Opening Day Hamburgers With no fancy sauces, no frills, and no cheese, these all-American burgers are perfect for the start of baseball season.

Ingredients

• 4 1/4-inch-thick yellow onion slices • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil • Salt and pepper, to taste • Condiments of your choice

• 1 pound ground chuck, 80 percent lean • 4 soft, white hamburger buns, split • 4 1/4-inch-thick tomato slices • 12–16 pickle rounds • 4 small leaves iceberg lettuce

Directions 1. Lightly grease a small nonstick skillet with oil. Heat over medium-high.

2. While heating, gently shape meat into four patties 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Be careful to handle the meat as little as possible to prevent tough burgers. Season liberally with salt and pepper. 3. Sear patties on each side, about 1 minute per side. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until desired doneness, about 1 more minute per side for medium-rare, 2 more per side for medium-well. 4. Let meat rest for a minimum of 3 minutes. 5. To assemble, place patty on bottom bun and top with tomato, pickles, lettuce, and onion (in that order). Spread condiments on top half of bun and place on top of onion. Serve.
