For a typical overseas trip, how does your (ordinary, non-discounted) airfare generally compare to your food and boarding expenses?

You don't book with Scott's Cheap Flights, it's just an e-mail that says what is on sale and the best way to book. I haven't had any issues not getting a meal or being charged for bags on an international flight using their tips

My assumption is the OP was talking about "food and boarding expenses" in the context of your hotel and food when you reach your destination - e.g. how much is saving on your airfare worth it vs optimising your hotel price.

Yes, I meant food and boarding for the trip, not for the flight. My instinct is that taking "a lot more international travel" due to cheaper airfare will result in spending a lot more money; I don't quite see why the cheaper airfare makes it make sense.
