Our rule of three

A cheap trip isn’t always a good trip.

Every recommendation is judged on three things: what it really costs, what it costs you in time, and whether it fits the way you actually travel.

  • Total price after bags, transfers, and fees
  • Time lost to inconvenient routes or locations
  • Comfort and flexibility that matter to you
