Compare the whole journey
Look at departure and arrival times, the number of connections and total journey duration together. The lowest fare may involve a schedule that does not suit your plans.
Ask what is included
Request the baggage allowance and fare conditions for the exact option being quoted. Inclusions can differ between fares on the same airline. Keep the written details with your booking information.
Discuss changes before booking
If your dates may change, tell the consultant before choosing a fare. Ask for the applicable change and cancellation terms so you can compare flexibility alongside price.
