    Are prices different if I book early?

    Flight prices tend to increase one to two weeks before departure, so time is of the essence. During holiday and peak seasons, it is advisable to book your airfares six weeks in advance to avoid any unnecessary cost. When booking international flights, to avoid disappointment, it’s best to book flights even earlier, up to 6 months in advance. Airlines also lower the flight prices during months where destinations see a lower volume of visitors.

    What is the difference between a direct flight, a non-stop flight and a flight with a connection?

    A connecting flight means that you have to leave the aircraft to get to another aircraft until you reach your destination. The non-stop flight takes you to your destination with no stops along the way. Direct flights, will also take you to your destination, but you can stop elsewhere without leaving the aircraft.

    You can do this directly on your airlines websites by using your airline/check in reference displayed on your e-ticket.

    What amount of luggage can I take on my flight?

    Always check your ticket and check in with the airline if you are not sure. The rules always differ between destinations and airlines. Your confirmation email should offer you more information on the amount of luggage you can bring.

    Can you assist me with visa information?
