In this issue we analyze the well-known myth or recommendation that flying with a scale it will be cheaper than doing it on a direct flight.
Many times one meets several tips to buy cheaper tickets, some crazy, others might make sense, among them is a very particular.
Flight with stopover or direct
The myth
When buying a ticket, choose for a flight with a stopover or more, instead of flying direct.
flight with stops
Whenever you buy a ticket you should check if it has one or more scale, the ticket will indicate the different airports where you will stop, duration of each scale and if there will be a change of plane or not.
Remember that if you buy a ticket with one or more stopovers, you will also sacrifice time of your trip in front of a direct operation, but that could give you the opportunity to get to know other airports, see planes and airlines you didn't see before, fly in new planes and also, get to know a new city for a few hours that you didn't know before.
It is important to always review these specific ticket details in order to better organize your trip., beyond the price that we will talk about below.
Direct flight
The other logical option to check is to fly nonstop anywhere in between and fly directly between your point A and your point B..
With this option you will save time by reaching your final destination faster, which will allow you to save a few hours (the day) to know that place to which you chose to travel and enjoy.
Cheaper with scales?
The simple answer is: IT ALL DEPENDS.
The common thinking of people is that if it takes you longer to reach your destination, it will cost you less, but it is a very variable subject and depends on some of the following factors:
- travel date.
- anticipation of purchase.
- Origin – destiny.
- Existing promotions.
These four basic parameters will define if a ticket purchased with stopovers is cheaper than a direct one. Putting this to a real life example, a flight between Mexico and Santiago de Chile could be cheaper flying direct to just having found a promotion on that route for the dates we are flying.
It could also be cheaper to fly with stopovers if on other dates a direct flight is more expensive than one with stops..
Although everything depends on several factors so that one is cheaper than another, what can be generated on many occasions or searches is that on dates closer to the need to travel, flying with stopovers is cheaper than direct.
Buenas tardes . .when flights resume from Lima to Guayaquil
We await Peru's decision.
One question my partner has a grandfather 12 from Julio from Guayaquil to Madrid if you can travel
With the new restriction, I could not.
Good my passport in September enters the 6 expiration months will be q will go to,let someone travel like this,know what please tell me
As a tourist we could travel, from Cali Colombia to Belgium, in the month of december ?
Regardless of whether it is a direct flight or with stops.
Yeah right, as long as there are no restrictions.
My husband is in the Dominican Republic and he is Canadian and he needs to go to Canada.
Good afternoon open flight from Madrid Spain to Lima Peru I need it as soon as possible and listen k in July open repatriation flight to return to Peru how can I buy my flight
I want to vote for a ticket from Santiago de Chile to the Dominican Republic, one way, as soon as it appears with a stopover or without a stopover, my number for information is 8099822933
I am in Genoa Italy.. I have my ticket for when there will be. airport in Medellin Colomba is with stopovers Be willing to buy a direct one.. It can?
When the flights open yes of course.
I have a question if I have a connecting flight and the waiting time is 12 hours I can leave at my stopover point to visit the city and return to resume my itinerary or departure is prohibited
Example I take a 6am flight in Quito, I arrive in Lima at 8:30 am being this point my scale and at 18:00 It is the flight to my final destination, Santiago., In that period of time can I leave the airport or do I have to stay inside it?
Yeah right, you can go out, but you must consult the specific of each airport or country if when leaving and re-entering, they will not charge you any additional value.
I would like to know if there are flights from Paraguay to Los Angeles USA
Direct flights from Barcelona Spain to Ecuador to Quito thanks
Iberia, Air Europa and Plus Ultra.
Normally in my case the direct ticket is cheaper, I have tried to find the cheapest possible trips with stopovers but it did not suit me…
What I have found cheap is to buy the tickets independently by section, Sure
It depends on promotions and travel dates.. it's like doing scale but
With risk problems of losing the other Ticket due to delays, or do migration, take out the suitcase and check again… That's why I haven't opted for that option.… there is unnecessary risk, a lot of time and effort problem, much more when we want the trip to be calm.
Thank you for commenting on your experience.!
Good there are flights from Cali to Quito and what airlines thank you very much
At the moment, none directly.
