In order to really save with low-cost flights, our first piece of advice is…instead of searching
on the website of every low-cost airline,
use Bravofly to search for your flight. This way, you are assured of finding
the airline company that answers all your needs at the lowest cost.
Subscribe to the
Bravofly newsletter: you will receive information about the most valuable flights
currently available. As well, you will receive special promotions from airline companies that
offer you remarkable deals. You are guaranteed to receive
the best deals of the day in your inbox.
Reserve your flight as soon as possible
If you really want to find the best offers,
don't hesitate to book your plane ticket: book as soon as possible or at least one
month before your departure date.
Do
not hesitate to book
If you find a good offer, don't wait to find a better one; book now! The available
places disappear fast and, as the travel date approaches, the prices increase. So book early
in order to guarantee you obtain the best prices.
Stay overnight on Saturday and save
For international flights, we suggest you
stay Saturday night at your destination; in fact, airline companies consider a
trip that does not include Saturday night as a business trip, therefore the flight is potentially
more expensive than a flight with return on Sunday.
Fly at
uncommon hours
You will find the best prices if you
fly at unusual hours, such as Monday afternoon or Sunday morning. In fact,
the price of plane tickets is dependant on supply and demand – therefore plane tickets for flights
leaving at the most requested hours are inevitably more expensive.
Fly to secondary airports
Fly to and from the
secondary airports of major cities, such as Girona for Barcelona or Luton for
London ; thanks to subsidies for their commercial development, secondary airports have the
capability of managing the air traffic of low-cost airline companies at very advantageous
prices. In addition, secondary airports are well connected to neighbouring cities thanks to
fast and efficient transport services (Bravofly suggests you use the services from
www.shuttledirect.com ).
Travel with only a carry-on bag
Avoid bringing luggage: if you are able to, travel with only a carry-on bag -
checked luggage often carry important extra fees. And if your luggage is over the weight limits or
dimensions established by the airline company, you risk paying a heavy fine. Before leaving,
consult our table found in
Information about airlines, which
contains travel regulations established by each low-cost airline company:

Do not change your reservation
When booking your flight, make sure that you enter each passengers' data correctly. Once
the flight is booked,
avoid making any modifications to the reservation: a fee is incurred every time
you alter the date and/or the time of the flight, the itinerary, and the name of the
passenger. Before leaving, consult our webpage
Reservation Change, which contains
information with regards to cost for booking changes:
click here.
Please note that in the case you decide to cancel your flight, more often than not, low-cost
airline companies do not give you your money back.
If you believe that you may have to make modifications to your trip, make sure you buy the
Bravofly NoProblem assistance policy: this way, you will not be charged any
administrative fees, other than the cost of the variation in price of the booking, and you are
guaranteed your money back in case you cannot fly due to illness.
