Plan ahead
Long-haul flights
Consider:
- two separate flights (Multi-city)
- Short flight to Asia and long-haul from there (e.g. KL, Singapore, HKG)
- Non-full-service airlines (Scoot, Air Asia, Jetstar)
- Non-traditional directions (via Norway, Japan, India, USA)
Cheapest European airports
- Amsterdam
- Berlin (SCOOT)
- London (LHR, LGW)
- Paris (CDG)
- Milan (MXP)
- Munich (MUC)
- Frankfurt
Convenience costs money so check for alternatives
- Momondo
- Skyscanner
- Matrix ITA
Check the location of budget airline airports, they are sometimes a long way (time / money) from the city or from your next airport e.g. LHR to Stanstead or CDG to Beauvais or Milan to Bergamo.
