\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n Table description<\/h2>\nBooking commission<\/strong>: Plane ticket search platforms are travel agencies and therefore offer a service that they are going to charge for somehow, whether directly or indirectly. Knowing when they are charging you for their service can sometimes be difficult, as they tend to hide these amounts in other costs (some of them even include them in airport fees).<\/p>\nPayment commission<\/strong>: Some platforms charge you based on the payment method that you use or the country of the card you are using.<\/p>\nFlexible dates<\/strong>: One of the easiest ways to save money is to compare different travel dates. Few platforms offer this possibility, as it requires huge data analysis capabilities. The majority of the platforms that do it don’t do it in real time, but rather aggregate data from previous searches by other users. My recommendation is to use platforms that let you look up flights on different dates (such as Google flights) and then do a simple search with your preferred platform on the dates that you want. <\/p>\nNumber of airlines<\/strong>: It’s important that the platform is able to compare the largest number of combinations possible among different airlines, as this is the secret behind why these platforms can offer lower prices than by searching directly on the websites of airline companies.<\/p>\nLow-cost airlines<\/strong>: Many platforms don’t include low-cost airlines, which are important if you are going to change flights during your trip because not many direct flights exist.<\/p>\nCancellation fee<\/strong>: You should keep in mind that the majority of low-cost tickets don’t allow cancellations or changes. If you want to buy a ticket with a certain amount of flexibility, it’s important to use a platform that doesn’t charge you for making changes or cancellations (on top of what the airline charges).<\/p>\nPrice includes commission<\/strong>: Many platforms show prices without fees or commissions in order to appear in the first results on price comparison websites such as Skyscanner, Kayak or Momondo. Normally, these platforms hide commissions because they tend to be a lot higher than those of their competitors, so be careful that you don’t get surprised by additional charges when booking your ticket.<\/p>\n |
