Beyond the Price Tag:
The return of multiple airlines to New Zealand is fantastic news for travellers! More competition means more options and competitive pricing. But when it comes to booking your flight, price shouldn't be the only factor to consider.
Here, our team, shares what they consider to ensure you get the best possible journey:
1. Priorities Take Flight: What Matters Most to You?
Is it snagging the cheapest fare, flying in ultimate comfort, or taking a specific route? Understanding your priorities helps us tailor recommendations to your needs.
2. Unpacking the Hidden Costs:
Many airlines now add on fees for checked luggage, Wi-Fi access, meals, seat selection, and in-flight entertainment. Be sure to factor these in when comparing prices.
3. Loyalty Perks: Are You Sitting on Untapped Benefits?
Do you have frequent flyer memberships? Aligning your flight with your loyalty program can unlock valuable benefits and points.
4. Economy vs. Premium Economy: Upgrading Your Experience
The difference between economy and premium economy might surprise you! Consider the legroom, amenities, and overall comfort before deciding which class best suits your travel style.
5. The Journey is Part of the Adventure: Embrace the Layover!
Think creatively! Could a layover be an opportunity to explore a new destination?
Our very own Sue and Paul, owners of Travel the World, recently took their boys to Europe with exciting stopovers in Shanghai and Dubai. Not only does this break up the long flight for Paul (who isn't a huge fan of flying!), but it also adds another layer of adventure to their trip!
Remember, the perfect flight goes beyond the price tag. By considering all your options and planning strategically, you can find the best overall value and turn your journey into a memorable part of your adventure
