Travel how-to guides

Short, practical, step-by-step guides for the things travellers actually need to do, from finding the cheapest flights to getting online abroad.

How to find the cheapest flights

A repeatable method for shaving money off any fare, from search to checkout.

1
Search a date range, not a single day
Use the flexible-date view to compare a whole month at once; shifting your trip by a day or two often cuts the fare significantly.
2
Compare nearby airports
Add secondary airports within a couple of hours of your origin and destination; a short transfer can be far cheaper than the convenient hub.
3
Check the price forecast
Look at whether prices are predicted to rise or fall, and weigh booking now against waiting a week.
4
Book in an incognito-safe way
Compare on a neutral meta-search so you see every airline's public fare, then complete the booking directly with the airline or agency.

Describe your trip in plain language and let the assistant build the search for you.

1
Type or speak your trip
Write something like 5 nights in Lisbon in October under €900 with a pool; full sentences work better than keywords.
2
Add the must-haves
Mention budget, dates, party size and any deal-breakers so the assistant can filter precisely.
3
Review the structured query
Check the dates, destinations and filters the AI extracted, and adjust anything it misread.
4
Refine by replying
Ask follow-ups such as only direct flights or closer to the old town to narrow the results without starting over.

Let prices come to you instead of checking back every day.

1
Open the route or stay
Run the search you care about, a specific flight route or a hotel for set dates.
2
Turn on the alert
Use the price-alert toggle on the results page to start tracking that exact search.
3
Choose how you're notified
Pick email or push so you hear about drops the moment they happen.
4
Book when it dips
When the alert fires, open the saved search and complete the booking before the fare moves again.

Match a policy to your trip so you're covered where it matters.

1
List your real risks
Think about cancellation, medical care abroad, baggage and any adventure activities you have planned.
2
Check the medical limit
Make sure the emergency-medical and repatriation cover is high enough for your destination's healthcare costs.
3
Read the exclusions
Confirm pre-existing conditions, high-value gear and your specific activities are not excluded.
4
Compare price against excess
A cheaper premium with a large excess can cost more if you claim; balance the two before buying.

Arrive online without hunting for a local SIM or paying roaming fees.

1
Confirm your phone supports eSIM
Check your device settings for Add eSIM; most recent phones support it, but a few do not.
2
Pick a data plan
Compare plans for your destination by data allowance and validity, and choose one that covers your whole trip.
3
Install before you fly
Buy and install the eSIM over Wi-Fi at home so the profile is ready the moment you land.
4
Switch it on after landing
Enable the eSIM line for data when you arrive, keeping your home number for calls if you wish.

Turn a long layover into a comfortable break with food, Wi-Fi and quiet.

1
Find lounges at your airport
Search your departure or connecting airport and the terminal you'll be in.
2
Check amenities and hours
Compare opening times, food, showers and the maximum stay so the lounge fits your layover.
3
Reserve a time slot
Book a slot in advance where required; popular lounges can reach capacity at peak hours.
4
Show your pass at the door
Arrive with your digital pass and boarding card, and enjoy the lounge until boarding.
