How to compare flight deals more thoughtfully

Look past the headline fare to the journey you are actually buying.

The lowest displayed fare is a starting point, not the whole comparison. A useful flight search looks at the total journey: timing, airports, baggage and the conditions attached to the ticket.

Compare like with like

Check what the fare includes and add the extras you actually need. Keep the departure and arrival airports visible as you compare, especially when a city has more than one.

Value your time

Consider the journey to the airport, the connection time and the arrival hour. A cheaper fare may change the cost or comfort of the rest of the trip.

Read before you commit

Review the airline’s current baggage and change conditions directly. Make sure names and travel details are correct before completing a booking.
