Travel planning
Compare flight itineraries beyond the ticket price
Two fares can look similar until baggage, airport transfers and connection risk enter the picture. Put both itineraries into the same comparison before choosing.
A text to start with
Compare these two flight options using the details I paste. Include total elapsed time, airport changes, baggage allowances and whether the flights are on one booking. Identify missing information and link to the airlines' current terms. I care more about a manageable journey than the lowest fare.
Example request. Change the details to fit your situation.What to check in the reply
Check each date and time zone, particularly an overnight arrival. Confirm which airline operates each segment and whether a transfer needs a terminal or airport change. Do not accept a connection as safe merely because its duration exceeds a guessed minimum. Separate a through-ticket from independently booked flights, then inspect the actual protection and change terms with the providers.
The next step
Recheck the full price on the booking screen before paying. Save the exact fare conditions you accept. If one option still has an unanswered question, ask the airline or seller rather than filling the gap with an estimate. A comparison in a text thread does not hold the fare.
