Practical guidance
Plan the details that sit around a flight
Flight comparisons are easier to assess when documents, baggage, connections, airports, and onward travel are considered at the same time.
Travel documents and entry checks
Requirements depend on nationality, destination, transit points, and the documents you hold. Check current information with the relevant government or consular authority and confirm carrier requirements before travel. A search result is not confirmation that you can enter or transit a country.
Baggage and fare conditions
Baggage can differ by airline, route, fare, and operating carrier. Before paying, check cabin and checked-baggage allowances, dimensions, fees, restricted items, and the rules that apply when another airline operates part of the journey.
Connections and separate bookings
Check whether the journey is covered by one booking or by separate bookings. Allow for immigration, baggage collection, security, terminal changes, and the possibility that one provider may not protect a separate onward ticket after a delay.
Airports and transfers
A city can be served by more than one airport. Confirm the airport code in each result, estimate the transfer, and consider how the arrival time connects with ferries, rail, road travel, accommodation, or another flight.
