Budget flights
The cheapest ticket is not always the cheapest journey.

▣
Add baggage first
A low headline fare can become expensive once cabin or checked baggage is added. Compare the configuration you will actually travel with.
⌚
Price the inconvenience
Long overnight connections, airport changes and self-transfers can save money — but only if the saving is worth the risk and lost time.

Check nearby airports
A secondary airport may cut the fare, but calculate trains, coaches, parking and departure times before calling it a saving.
A simple cheap-flight search routine
- Search your preferred dates and route once to establish a baseline.
- Move the departure and return by a few days if the trip allows it.
- Compare nearby departure and arrival airports.
- Add the baggage you genuinely need before comparing totals.
- Check whether separate tickets require you to collect and re-check baggage.
- Review the final provider, cancellation conditions and schedule before paying.
Flight prices are dynamic. No website can guarantee that a fare visible now will still be available later.
