Flight booking guide
A few simple habits can make flights easier to compare and help you avoid surprises. Use this guide alongside the offers above.
Start with a flexible search
Search with flexible dates or a whole month view if the booking site offers it. Moving your trip by a day or two, or flying from or to a nearby airport, can change the fare noticeably. Compare a few sources, then check the final price on the booking page before you pay.
Choose when to fly
Fares usually rise in school holidays, public holidays and peak season. Travelling just outside these periods, often called the shoulder season, can be cheaper and less crowded. Midweek departures are often better value than Friday or Sunday flights, but this depends on the route.
Low-cost or full-service airline?
Low-cost airlines often advertise a low base fare and charge extra for bags, seats, meals and boarding. Full-service airlines usually include more in the ticket. The cheaper option is the one with the lowest total cost for what you actually need, so compare the full price rather than the headline fare.
Watch for extra costs
Check the baggage allowance for both cabin and checked bags, seat selection fees, payment or card fees, and any airport check-in charges. These details are shown during booking, and they can change a cheap fare into an average one.
Understand the fare rules
Cheaper fares often come with limits on changes and refunds. Read the fare conditions before you pay, and note any deadline for free cancellation. If your plans may change, a slightly higher flexible fare can be better value than paying change fees later.
Plan connections and travel documents
On a connecting itinerary, a very short layover can put the whole trip at risk if the first flight is late, while a very long one wastes time. Check whether you need a transit visa, and confirm entry rules for your destination in our visa guides before you book.
How to get the best flight deal
- Be flexible with your dates. Midweek departures are often cheaper than weekends.
- Compare booking sites with the airline own website before paying.
- Check baggage rules. A low fare may not include a checked bag.
- Set a fare alert for your route and book when the price fits your budget.
- Compare nearby airports. A short train or bus ride to another airport can sometimes lower the fare.
- Add up the total cost, including bags, seat selection and meals, before you compare fares.
- Book directly with the airline if you think you may need to change your plans.
- Avoid booking at the last minute on busy routes, especially in school holidays and peak season.
- Check layover times on connecting flights and allow enough time to change planes, clear security and, if needed, immigration.
- Make sure the name on your booking matches your passport exactly, and check that your passport is valid for your trip.
Deals and prices change often. Always check the final price and terms on the store website before you book.

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to book a flight?
There is no single best day. Prices depend on the route and season, so set a price alert and book when the fare suits your budget.
Are flight comparison sites reliable?
They are useful for comparing fares, but always check the final price, baggage allowance and fare rules on the booking page.
Are there coupon codes for flights?
Some booking sites run promotions or codes on selected fares. Availability changes, so check the terms of each offer.
Is it cheaper to book directly with the airline?
Sometimes, but not always. Booking sites can show lower fares or bundles, while booking with the airline can make changes and refunds simpler. Compare both before you pay.
Do low-cost airlines really cost less?
They often do for the base fare, but bags, seats and other extras can add up. Compare the total price for your trip, not just the headline fare.
Can I change or cancel a flight?
It depends on the fare. Flexible fares usually allow changes or refunds, while the cheapest fares may not. Read the fare conditions before booking.
What should I check before booking a connecting flight?
Check the layover time, whether your bags are checked through to the final destination, and whether you need a transit visa. If the flights are on separate tickets, the airline may not protect you if the first one is late.
Do I need travel insurance for a flight?
It is not always required, but it can cover cancellations, delays and medical costs. Check what your credit card or existing policy already includes before you buy extra cover.
How early should I arrive at the airport?
Check the check-in deadline on your booking confirmation. As a general rule, many travellers arrive about two hours before a domestic flight and about three hours before an international one.
