Good afternoon, travelers!
Today we’ll talk about where to look for discounts on air tickets, special offers and airline sales. What discounts are offered, how and where to purchase air travel at a special offer - I will tell you this in my new article.
The best way to save on your upcoming trip is to buy discounted air tickets.
A reduced flight price will also help you choose a carrier company and country of departure, with a wide variety.
What discounts are there?
Usually they launch promotions that apply to economy class fares; they do not apply to business class.
In addition to seasonal airline sales and super offers, you can take advantage of discounts for age and social categories:
- Children under 2 years old can reduce the ticket price up to 90%, for older adults 2 - 12 years old - up to 50%.
- Young people under 24 years of age can purchase tickets up to 25% cheaper upon presentation of a document confirming their age. Each country has special tariffs for young people and rules for their use.
- Students aged 26 to 31 receive a discount on the ISIC international student rate.
- Pensioners aged 55–65 years can reduce the price by 15–25%.
- The family tariff entitles one of the spouses to receive a 50% discount, but it can be used a limited number of times.
- Special fare for a group of passengers of 7–10 people flying together on the same dates and on the same route.
Airlines usually offer promotions on tickets 45 days before departure, thus attracting passengers with low prices. After which their cost begins to rise, but if closer to the departure date the plane is still not fully equipped, there is a chance to purchase a ticket much cheaper by 30–50%.
We must remember that all profitable promotions are quickly sold out, since there are few offers, and there are many people who want to save money. Therefore, if you see a favorable price, hurry up to buy or book a ticket.
Always have your passport and card details with you for prompt payment. If you are registered on the carrier's website or use a browser with autofill, then many of your data will be saved from past purchases, it will be easier and faster for you to fill out a new form.
When a new promotion is launched, the time frame for purchasing a ticket and its validity period are indicated. That is, you can and should buy it at a special price in the near future, but use it for a certain time and fly away in a few months.
As a rule, they are non-refundable, which is why the cost is so low. Therefore, when buying such a ticket, you must be sure that you will be able to fly on these days, having a planned vacation or a free work schedule.
If you want to always be aware of promotions and discounts, subscribe to the airline's newsletter.
When searching for special offers, it is convenient to use the calendar and low price map, which are available on many search sites. You will be able to see which days and which countries have the best prices, and choose the appropriate option.
Websites with promotional air tickets
Sale tickets can be purchased online from many websites.
1. Official websites of airlines
Discounted tickets are indicated with a promo icon. Most often, sales are launched during times of low demand for flights - in spring, autumn and after New Year's holidays. But no one can predict the exact start date of the campaign. This depends on the companies themselves, which analyze the congestion and popularity of flights, and compare past and current prices for transportation.
In case of a shortage of passengers and deviations from sales plans, air carriers use promotions to attract new customers and fill the plane with them. To always be aware of the best prices, just subscribe to their newsletter, and you will always be one of the first to buy cheap tickets online.
Flights within Russia and to other countries:
- Aeroflot
- Victory
- Lufthansa
- airBaltic
- Pegasus Airlines
You will find more low-cost airlines and low-cost airlines in our article.
2. Mobile applications of airlines and search aggregators
Since many people use the Internet most often from their smartphone, most sites have their own applications for mobile devices. The advantage in this case is the ability to quickly receive push notifications about when profitable options will appear.
3. Search aggregators, each of which has a section with special offers from air carriers:
4. Specialized sites where discounts from all airlines on any routes are collected.
Sign up for airline alerts
Don't forget to monitor carriers' websites. Sales are usually held in February - March and October - November. During such periods the servers may be down. But a little patience, and a cheap ticket is in your pocket. And some airlines offer to send messages if the price drops. Agree so you can buy the right ticket.
Subscribe to Telegram channels
To search for profitable offers, use Telegram channels. Information about discounts comes in the form of a personal notification. It’s better to subscribe to several at once and monitor them, comparing prices. Here are three useful channels from cheap air tickets: Samokatus, Travelradar and PassOnBoard.
And of course, use cheap air ticket aggregators such as Aviasales, Skyscanner, Momondo, OneTwoTrip. They are not tied to a specific airline, but compare prices from different sites and give you best option. These search engines also have convenient price charts and calendars. With their help, you can move the date of your trip and save a significant amount.
Most of these search engines have mobile applications.
2. Clear cookies and cache
If you have already looked for cheap air tickets, the aggregator or airline website has remembered both the country of departure and the approximate cost of travel. As a result, you may see the old price even if the tickets have become cheaper. In addition, the site will rush you and assure you that there are almost no seats left on the plane. Even if this is not true at all.
5. Buy tickets in advance
It is more profitable to buy tickets in advance. Airlines typically open sales 330 days in advance. But, as practice shows, the most optimal booking time is 50–60 days before departure.
The fact is that when sales start, the program is guided by last year’s prices, and then demand determines the price and, as a rule, it decreases. A couple of months before departure there are not many bookings. And the more empty seats on the plane, the lower the price.
When buying a ticket, you should also take into account the time of day. Most people buy tickets in the middle of the day. So book your flight late at night or early in the morning. There are not many visitors to aggregators, demand is falling, prices are starting to creep down.
6. Keep documents handy
Carry your passport information with you at all times. It is not necessary to carry a passport with you. It is enough to take a photo of the necessary pages or write down the data in notes. Special offers usually come at the most inopportune times. And cheap tickets will most likely not survive until the evening. So when planning your trip, be prepared to book your tickets at a moment's notice. And, of course, don’t forget about the money on your bank card.
The ticket price directly depends on the flow of tourists. On holidays, school break and high season, the cost of flights usually increases. So be sure to check prices for other dates. Sometimes departures within a couple of weeks are several times cheaper.
Thus, a ticket to Asian countries departing at the end of December is almost twice as expensive as at the beginning of the month.
And don’t shy away from traveling in the off-season. Firstly, it's much cheaper. Secondly, there are no crowds of tourists or queues at museums. In Europe, for example, everyone goes to New Year holidays. It is much more profitable to fly there in early autumn.
8. Buy round-trip tickets
Buy tickets in both directions at once, don’t delay until later. Firstly, when you buy round-trip tickets you save about 20%. Secondly, remember: the closer the departure, the more expensive ticket. For example, tickets Moscow - Paris and back cost 14,000 rubles, and if you take them separately, you will have to overpay more than 2,000 rubles.
9. Don't limit yourself to the capital
If you want to get to France, for example, you don’t have to fly directly to Paris. Look at tickets to neighboring cities: sometimes you can get there much cheaper than to the capital.
Then you can travel by trains, trains, buses or planes. Just remember: when abroad, it is better to book tickets for intercity trains and buses in advance, at least a couple of weeks in advance. It will be cheaper this way. In Europe, this can be done online, through the carriers' websites.

If you are interested in a special offer from an airline from St. Petersburg, Moscow or any other city, pay attention to the sales dates: as part of some promotions, you can only purchase a ticket within a day or several days.

The answers are in this article!
I love to travel, fly often and always try to do it cheaply, or better yet for free. In ten years active travel and six years of working on the MAKE-TRIP website, I have accumulated a lot of experience and knowledge. In this review, I will tell you everything I know about finding the cheapest plane tickets. And if you still haven't subscribed to my blog SINITSYN ▲ TRAVEL, subscribe! It contains a lot of life hacks and personal travel experience - all for free.
The article is long, so be patient. But it will definitely change your life, significantly increasing the time you spend traveling.
Go!
But nothing! Let's solve the problem :)
I hasten to pass on my cosmic knowledge to you :) 1. Use search engines 100%
Where to look for cheap plane tickets? On sites that compare prices different airlines and agencies. These services are called search engines. In 10-15 seconds they will find you the best price and the most convenient flight.
The two most popular and convenient search engines are Aviasales and Skyscanner. If you use them when searching for cheap air tickets, this is approximately 80-90% success. However, to get the full benefit from search engines, you need to use their capabilities 100% - and not everyone does this: even travelers who are well familiar with them are not aware of a number of excellent functions of these aggregators. Next, I will talk about all the cool features of search engines.
If you are looking for tickets only on airline websites or, God forbid, go to the aunties at the ticket office, then don’t expect to see cheap tickets.
Before you buy plane tickets, check the price on both search engines for greater reliability - this will increase your chances of finding the cheapest plane tickets. Usually they find the same options, but sometimes there is a difference in price - 2-5%.
It is useful to have a cheap flight search engine always at hand. I advise you to install mobile app to your smartphone. Aviasales has convenient applications for Android(download), and for iPhone(download). In 2020, more than half of users already search for and buy air tickets through mobile applications.
Let's remember! Cheap flight ticket search engines are the easiest and most reliable way to find tickets at the lowest price.

You will save: ≈ 20-70%.
: for the destination you need and specific dates, prices are always outrageous. I've encountered this a thousand times already. The real law of meanness! But you can cheat the system - give up specific plans and fly on vacation to where it’s cheaper. If you like this approach, then you will save a lot on tickets.
Advanced search is the coolest feature of the Skyscanner search engine. I start many of my trips with it - I study all the cheapest tickets from the desired country/city and decide where to fly.
Do this:
- In the window "Where" indicate the entire country or city from which it is convenient for you to fly. Plus, you can check the “Add nearby airports” checkbox.
- In the window "Where" write “Everywhere” or leave the field empty - now the search engine will look for the cheapest tickets to all countries of the world.
- In the fields departure and return dates specify "All month" or "All year".
Aviasales also has a similar tool: low price calendar >>
Or use the low-price map on Aviasales and Skyscanner - the essence is the same, only all low-cost flights are displayed on the world map. There is something in this that inspires!
Let's remember! Be flexible with your travel destination and timing and you'll save big.
Here's an example of how to fill out the search form on Skyscanner:
Search form for cheap air tickets to all directions at once.

You will save: ≈ 10-40%.
Ticket prices fluctuate like the blood pressure of a hypertensive patient - they change every day, and sometimes within an hour. You need to start hunting early and catch a ticket when the price drops as much as possible.
There is no need to check price changes daily or hourly; search engines can do this. Subscribe to Aviasales news by e-mail or their bots on social networks. Set the direction and time of departure, set the size of the desired discount or the maximum price - the robot will send you a letter as soon as the ticket price drops to the desired level. Convenient and effective!
Follow the rule: as soon as there is a chance to buy cheap tickets, you need to take advantage of it. Don't hesitate - buy.
Remember the periods when plane tickets can be bought cheapest:
- one year before the planned trip;
- 2-3 months before departure (especially for low-cost airlines);
- a few days before departure (for charters and with large airlines for flights at unpopular times of the year).
The rule is not ironclad - it is rather a trend.
Relying on the last option is always risky, so it is suitable only for the freest: those who are ready to fly anywhere, anytime, or not fly anywhere at all, unless they are lucky.
Let's remember! Start monitoring prices 2-3 months, or better yet, six months or even a year before your trip. Subscribe to price drop alerts to get the best cheap ticket to the right point.
I believe in cheap air tickets and budget travel! This is me on the island of Penang in Malaysia, my first winter in Asia. 4. Buy last-minute tours for tickets
You will save: ≈ 20-40%.
Traveling on your own is more interesting, but last-minute tours promise us good savings. Often a trip to the most popular resorts(Sochi, Crimea, Turkey, Thailand, Greece, Dominican Republic and others) can be bought very cheaply - a full tour package is sometimes worth it cheaper than air tickets. In this case, the flight will always be direct, and the bonus will be accommodation, transfer and insurance. It's worth using!
Feel free to buy the most cheap tour to the most run-down hotel solely for the sake of a round trip flight. Nobody forces you to live in a Zadripan hotel - book what you like yourself and relax there.
Look for last-minute tours for pennies on services and - they compare prices for tours among all the most popular tour operators.
Let's remember! Check last minute tours to the resort you need. If the tour costs less than tickets, buy it.
Such prices are not uncommon, especially in the off-season. 5. Create a complex route
You will save: ≈ 30-70%.
: flying abroad from Russia is not cheap, especially if you live in the regions (like me). For each flight you have to shell out a tidy sum.
But you can fly between different cities and countries abroad very cheaply. That's why I always try to cover several countries in one trip. Visiting 2-5 countries in one trip is much cheaper than flying from Russia to one country after another each time. This way I save tens and even hundreds of thousands of rubles a year on flights.
My experience. For example, on a trip to Asia in the spring of 2019, we spent 160 thousand rubles on air tickets for two. A huge amount, at first glance. But let's do the math. We flew from Perm, returned to it, visited 5 countries: Georgia, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Indonesia, South Korea. In total, we only got 16,000 rubles per person for each country. It's very, very cheap! If we flew to each of these countries separately 5 times, we would spend 2-3 times more on tickets.
So create challenging routes and save!
This function is available on the search engines Aviasales and Skyscanner. It allows you to create routes with three or more flight segments and fork routes when the cities of arrival and subsequent departure are different (non-closed flights). Also, thanks to this function, you can purchase tickets with a stopover (connection longer than a day).
- Example of a simple route: Moscow - Barcelona - Moscow.
- Example of a complex route: Moscow - Barcelona, Barcelona - Paris, Paris - Moscow.
- Fork example (open-jaw): 1) Moscow - Barcelona, Madrid - Moscow; or 2) Moscow - Barcelona, Barcelona - St. Petersburg.
My experience. I use this technique on almost every trip. At times he allows you to visit a place for free. For example, having bought tickets Moscow - Bangkok with a stopover for 4 days in the UAE, I...
Such manipulations are especially beneficial when traveling in Europe and Asia. To fly from one country to another, you can buy very cheap air tickets - from $10. Of course, you won’t always find a ticket for $10, but for $30-100 you can fly anywhere.
How to easily create a complex route. Let's look at the example of Europe.
- We go to Skyscanner, set flights from Moscow in “Everywhere” for the desired month in one direction. Usually for 2000-4000₽ there are tickets to Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany, Italy, Slovakia. Let's say we are especially interested in Hungary and Italy.
- Now let's open two new search windows on Skyscanner: in one we indicate the country of departure - Hungary, in the other - Italy. In the “Where” field we again write “Everywhere”. Now we see a list of places where there are cheap plane tickets from these countries. The list of destinations will be huge: all of Europe, North Africa, Middle East - choose what you want. The main thing is that the last country you fly to has inexpensive air tickets home.
- Now all you have to do is choose interesting countries and cities and connect flights by dates.
An impressive example of a "fork". My friend flew to me in Asia, having bought very cheap tickets from difficult route: Moscow - Manila, Hong Kong - Minsk. I paid only 10 thousand rubles. It's very cheap for a flight over such distances. Of course, he still needed to buy tickets for domestic flights around Asia, but it was still inexpensive for such an interesting route.
Let's remember! Fly to several countries in one trip, buying the cheapest air tickets between them.
Knockin 'on Heaven. We are standing with a friend on the shore of the South China Sea. 6. Extra segment
You will save: ≈ 10-20%.
By adding an extra final segment to your itinerary, you can sometimes get cheaper flights. For example, at Etihad Airlines tickets “Moscow - Asia - Moscow - Yekaterinburg” appeared several times for 14-20 thousand rubles. It is not necessary to fly to Yekaterinburg on the way back - the flight is via Moscow, and you can get off there. Savings of about 3-5 thousand rubles. Here's the news about it. This rarely happens.
One day we were especially lucky with an extra segment. For a reason unknown to science, tickets Moscow - Penang (via Doha and Kuala Lumpur) were much cheaper than similar ones just to K-L. And we just needed to go to Penang Island. We took tickets to another part of the world for only 8,700 rubles. Beauty!
Durian is one of the main reasons why I fly to Asia every year. I fly from Russia to some place (Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Colombo), and then fly inexpensively from country to country across Asia on low-cost airlines. 7. Forget about airline promotions
Ticket promotions are often a scam.
Believing that they will help you save money is self-deception.
Reason #1. Most promotions are a stupid marketing ploy by the airline to remind you of itself and force you to buy air tickets as soon as possible. The price decreases slightly, the dates with cheap tickets are inappropriate and there are few of them, the destinations are uninteresting, and so on. Airlines are not going to be your sponsors, they only want PR and sales growth. Finding a good deal for your dates and interests is almost impossible.
Reason #2(most important). Groups on social networks about airline promotions bombard their subscribers with a barrage of news. This flow of information clogs the brain, confuses and burdens the person with a sense of missed opportunities. You see dozens, hundreds, thousands of shares, but the problem is that somehow they are always unsuitable. And you start to feel like you're missing out. Pain and disappointment comes. Each of us is already bombarded with an avalanche of information every day on social networks, instant messengers, and news sites. To maintain peace of mind, we must filter this flow.
Reason #3. Yes, sometimes you can buy cheap air ticket on promotion, but get ready - it will entail inconvenience and expenses. A night flight, a distant airport that you still need to get to, a tedious transfer, inconvenient departure and arrival dates that cut off part of your vacation, and so on. Like? I don't.
I fly a lot, but I don’t buy promotional tickets. At first I followed them every day, and then gave up, because none of them ever suited me. I no longer waste time on news about promotions, but find inexpensive tickets to the right place myself.
Let's remember! Don't subscribe to airline stock news - it's a misleading prospect. It’s better to subscribe to notifications about price changes for the routes you need, look at the price calendar or the list of countries where you can fly inexpensively from your city. You will save time and nerves, and this is more valuable than anything else.
8. Fly during low season
You will save: ≈ 50%.
Tickets are most expensive in the summer, on New Year and for May. Don't fly during this time if you want to save money.
You can buy cheap tickets to any country during the period when the demand for flights is at its lowest. For example, fly to Europe in winter or off-season, and to Thailand in summer. In addition to low flight prices, you'll receive discounts on accommodation, excursions and entertainment - all prices drop during the low season. The third bonus is that there are few tourists.
Read about the weather in the destination country in the desired month, and everything will be cool.
Let's remember! Fly on vacation during the low season, or at least during the high season.
My journey to Maldives- I'm floating on Indian Ocean. I flew to the Maldives from Sri Lanka to save on air tickets. I specifically chose the very end of the high season for my vacation: the weather was perfect and there were few people. 9. Fly cheap charters
You will save: ≈ 40-80%.
Charter flights are flights ordered by a tour operator during peak tourist season in popular directions. Package tourists fly charters, but also solo traveler It may be profitable to buy a ticket for some of them.
Charters have situations when there are several days left before departure, but the plane is not fully loaded. In this case, the airline can throw a portion of very cheap air tickets onto the market. Most often these are one-way tickets. Such options can appear at the height of the season, but especially often at the end of the season. For example, every September you can buy cheap tickets to Bulgaria, because half-empty planes fly there to pick up vacationers. Tickets cost 1000-2000₽. The savings are especially great when you fly to Asia or the Dominican Republic - tickets cost 10-12 thousand rubles. True, you will need to work some magic on your return ticket: it’s easy to find an inexpensive option from Europe, but more difficult from distant countries.
Let's remember! Fly on holiday during the high season with charters.
Cheap charter to Bulgaria at the end of the season. Only 1300 rubles! 
Cheap charter to the Dominican Republic at the end of the season. 12,000 rubles for a 12-hour flight is almost free. 
Cheap charter to Thailand at the end of the season. 3900 rubles! You can’t always fly to Sochi for that kind of money.

10. Fly from a nearby city
You will save: ≈ 20-50%.
Always check the cost of tickets departing from neighboring cities. Residents of St. Petersburg can save money by flying from Moscow, Helsinki, and the Baltic countries. For Perm residents it is often cheaper to fly from Yekaterinburg. Siberians - from Novosibirsk or Irkutsk.
Muscovites shouldn't yawn either. Yes, in 9 out of 10 cases, air tickets from capital airports are the cheapest, but there are exceptions. Before booking, check ticket prices from Pulkovo.
Get to neighboring cities by train, bus or car.
Let's remember! Check ticket prices from nearby cities.

11. Try different cities of arrival
You will save: ≈ 20-50%.
Tickets to the city you need can cost significantly more than to neighboring ones. Therefore, it is worth looking at the prices for flights to and from them.
- It is cheaper to fly to Bratislava than to Vienna. There are only 80 km between both capitals, which can be easily covered by bus for a few euros. We do this often.
- Pobeda flies to Karlovy Vary, from which it is easy to get to Prague.
- European low-cost airlines and Pobeda fly to Bergamo airport. You can almost always buy tickets to Bergamo cheaper than to Milan or Venice.
- And so on...
Let's remember! Check tickets not only to the city you need, but also to neighboring ones.

12. Low-cost airlines: good or evil?
You will save: ≈ 10-50%.
Low-cost airlines are low-cost airlines; their tickets can cost as little as 10 €. To reduce the cost of their flights, low-cost airlines refuse additional services: food on board, baggage allowance, free check-in at the airport and others. All this can be purchased additionally, but the flight will no longer be so cheap.
There is only one low-cost airline in Russia - Pobeda, a subsidiary of Aeroflot. In free countries there is no monopoly, and there are many low-cost airlines - there is competition between them, which means the maximum low prices And best quality. But we're not complaining! Previously, we didn’t have budget airlines at all, but now we have Pobeda, and it helps a lot. Plus, other airlines have introduced super-economy fares in recent years and become semi-low-cost airlines.
All horror stories that low-cost airlines deceive people, mock them and almost force them to fly while standing is complete nonsense. Every year, two thirds of my flights are with low-cost airlines. There was never a problem or scam. Just read the carrier's rules and you won't get into an unpleasant situation.
My experience. I have flown Pobeda many times, Wizz Air, Ryanair, Air Asia and other public sector companies. My cheapest tickets cost $10-20 for 1-2 hour flights.
How to fly low-cost airlines correctly:
- Read the airline rules carefully!
- Take a minimum of things and don't pay for luggage.
- Check your hand luggage for compliance with permissible dimensions - see them on the airline’s website.
- If you cannot do without luggage, add it to your order when purchasing tickets - then it will cost 500-2000 rubles more. When traveling with a group, take one piece of luggage for everyone.
- Buy tickets 2-4 months before departure - prices are usually lowest at this time.
- Find out the check-in rules for your flight. If there is a fee at the airport, register yourself on the carrier’s website and print out your boarding pass.
- When purchasing tickets from low-cost airlines, a 1-5% commission for payment by card is almost always added to the final price. There is nothing you can do about it, just accept it as a fact.
Let's remember! Feel free to buy cheap air tickets from low-cost airlines, read their rules and enjoy impressive savings.
A typical dialogue between a passenger and a Pobeda employee. 13. Fly with a group
You will save: ≈ 5-20%.
Some airlines are ready to give discounts to passengers if they fly with a group and book tickets for several people at once. I know such examples:
- Low-cost airline EasyJet usually gives a discount of 7-10 euros to each passenger when tickets are booked for two or more people.
- Wizz Air has a loyalty program - Wizz Discount Club. Membership costs €30 for two, €60 for up to 6 people. It gives you the right to purchase any tickets for at least €10 cheaper during the year and other benefits. Membership pays for itself in 1-2 flights, and then there are savings.
In addition, when you fly with a group on a low-cost airline, you can save a lot on luggage - check one bag for 2-3 people.
Let's remember! Fly with a group to get a discount and save on luggage.

14. Tricky deceptive zigzag
You will save: ≈ 10-20%.
Airlines love to make money on direct flights, because many are willing to overpay for convenience and time savings. Let's use this to our advantage and force the airlines to sell us the cheapest tickets. All you need to do is pretend. Pretend that we want to fly to places other than where we really want to go.
Let's say we need to go to Riga. Best price- 7341 rubles (direct airBaltic flight).
Expensive ticket to Riga for 7300 rubles. But do you remember that passengers have to pay more for the pleasure of flying on a direct flight? The solution to this problem is simple: knowing that Riga is the hub (base airport) of airBaltic, and also that tickets for its flights from Riga to Tallinn are usually very inexpensive, we will simply check the cost of air tickets from Moscow to Tallinn. Voila, they are asking only 6099 rubles for them! Flight on the same day and at the same time. The plane flies with a connection in Riga - we fly there, pick up our luggage and forget about Tallinn. Congratulations, we saved 17% from the cost of a ticket for a direct flight to the city we need!
Cheaper ticket to Tallinn via Riga for 6100 rubles. How to look for such cheap flights? To do this you need to be a little in the know:
- know which airlines fly to your desired city;
- whether its airport is their main one;
- what destinations do these airlines fly from the city you need at minimum fares (in order to correctly insert the destination city into the ticket that we will buy).
Use this knowledge and logic to design such detours.
Attention:
- Check your luggage not to the final destination, but to the intermediate one. You can come up with any argument: you are carrying a gift that you want to pass on along the way, there is something you need in your bag, etc. Or better yet, fly light, without luggage.
- If you miss any segment of the flight, remember that after this the ticket will be cancelled. Therefore, if you bought a round-trip plane ticket and missed a segment on the flight there, then you will not fly back using this ticket. For example, you have an air ticket “Moscow - Riga - Tallinn - Riga - Moscow”: by refusing to fly from Riga to Tallinn, you deprive yourself of the opportunity to fly later from Riga to Moscow. Therefore, for such purposes, you need to buy a ticket there separately, and a ticket back separately.
Let's remember! Buy cheap flights connecting in your desired city and get off halfway.

15. Earn miles from all airlines at once
You will save: up to 100%.
I have been a client of Tinkoff Bank for more than three years. I think he is offering Better conditions for travelers. With his debit cards I withdraw cash all over the world without commission, and with my credit card I get 10% cashback on all hotel bookings, 3% on air tickets and free annual medical insurance. Cashback is miles that can be used to pay for air tickets on any airline.
My personal experience . Thanks to the miles accumulated on the All Airlines card, in 2017-2019 I flew for free to Istanbul, Phuket, the Maldives, Bali, and South Korea. I have also been receiving a free insurance policy for the third year now - also a good saving of money and time for those who often fly abroad.
This bank is criticized only by financially illiterate people who did not bother to read the rules and study the tariffs. They withdraw cash from a credit card, exceed the limits, delay payments, connect unnecessary services, and it’s their bank’s fault. Well, what can we take from fools?
Let's remember! Get a bank card that is beneficial for travelers, earn miles and fly for free.
Be careful with night flights. Usually their tickets are cheaper, but do not forget that you will have to spend money on a taxi to/from the airport.
Buy tickets once you have planned your entire itinerary and connected all flights. It happens that you buy inexpensive tickets to one city, but in order to fly from it somewhere else to required dates, you'll have to spend a lot of money.
Take an external battery with you on your flight to charge your phone - you can’t always find an outlet at the airport. Check out our reviews: and.
Do not buy insurance that the airline forces on you when booking - a waste of money.
Often, instead of a hotel, it is cheaper and more comfortable to rent a house or apartment - many interesting options from hosts can be found on the popular Airbnb service. This is definitely beneficial if you are traveling with your family or company.
Rent a car to see all the most interesting and beautiful without excursions and public transport. Skyscanner Car Hire compares prices from different car rental companies and finds the best one.
