Organizing a trip with split air transportation bookings

Separating an itinerary into a few components and purchasing different tickets for each can influence your travel budget considerably. Yet, there are major elements to take into consideration prior to this.

Visa Requirements: International air travel with divided reservations will most probably convoke extra visa demands according to the country issuing your passport.

To secure transportation, there might be a need to apply for transit or entry visas for the countries that you will be passing. Make sure you go through all the government requirements for all the places included in your itinerary prior to reserving the separate air travel.

Please keep in mind that: Passengers are completely and solely responsible to attain the documentation needed for the trip.

Checked Baggage: Traveling with split bookings also implies self-transferring your luggage, as well as repeatedly checking it in at the airport during connecting flights with non-protected transfers.

(Check What self-transfer is?)

Self-transfer might be the reason to surpass the transit area, which as a result might be the reason why you’ll need an entry visa for this country.

Schedule modifications: Since one big itinerary includes various short flights, and each of them has a specific booking, it needs to be remembered that a minor change in one of these, may impact the entire trip.

Traveling with different tickets is an ad-hoc decision, and though theoretically it’s possible, this may not be very convenient when taking in consideration supplementary risks and the preparation implied. Discuss with your Travel Expert to find out whether this type of booking is worth analysing in your situation.

Unforeseen air travel changes

The changes in the air travel deals provided by airlines are frequent, sometimes they happen hourly.

There is a similarity between the airfare fluctuations and the stock market— the bigger the demand the more prices will change. These modifications do not depend on us, as they are made by airline algorithms. Travel agencies do not participate in this procedure.

As a response to this, we have set up an infrastructure that’ll communicate the actual price range in order to help you be better informed regarding your flight.

Based on our experience, in most cases airlines increase their prices as the date of departure gets closer. This is why we advise securing your flight tickets ahead.
