The playbook
Six ways to pay less.
Boring, reliable, repeatable. These are the habits that consistently save money on short-haul flights.
Be flexible by a day or two
Midweek departures — especially Tuesday and Wednesday — are often cheaper than Friday and Sunday flights on popular city-break routes.
Check nearby airports
If you live between two airports, compare both. A slightly longer drive can sometimes save more than the cost of parking.
Travel hand-luggage only
Low-cost fares can rise significantly once checked bags and seat selection are added. Compare the total price, not the headline fare.
Avoid school holidays where you can
Fares from UK airports typically rise sharply during school holidays and bank-holiday weekends.
Look at shoulder seasons
Spring and autumn often bring good weather, smaller crowds and better-value flights and hotels across southern Europe.
Book transfers and parking early
Airport parking and transfers are usually cheaper when booked in advance rather than on the day.
