First thing to do when you need to book a flight is ask yourself:

1-Do I need to travel in a specific time or do I have some flexibility?

2-How many hours does the flight take? And if it’s too many could it be a problem for me

3-How many stops I’m going to make in order to get there?

4- Do I prefer a specific Airline company?

If you don’t have any restrictions about the date you should always check the prices and dates of flight operations. Sometimes the price changes dramatically the next day/week.

If you’re like myself that gets bored really fast on a long flight, a good thing to keep in mind is choose an airline with good planes with a tv with movies on demand. Even if you can’t get any sleep at least you are entertained!

Consider the benefit–cost of the flight. Maybe it’s worth it to pay a few euros extra if the amount of stops and the total flight time is shorter.

Many of the frequent travellers have the miles card and you can consider to choose the same company to gain advantages, although in majority of cases you need to travel in so many different companies that your miles are distributed among 5 different cards and no major difference.
