What to look for when buying a cheap ticket

Ticket refund policy

Usually, the cheaper the ticket, the more stringent the conditions for exchange or refund. Often, the cheapest deals are subject to a 100% date change or trip cancellation penalty. That is, if your plans have changed, your ticket will simply "burn out". Therefore, before buying a ticket, be sure to pay attention to the conditions for its return and exchange, and if your trip has not yet been confirmed, it is better to choose the option with more flexible conditions.

Baggage

Another important fact that affects the cost of the air ticket. Often, low-cost airlines include only one piece of carry-on baggage in the ticket price, and you will have to pay for the rest of the checked baggage separately. Therefore, if you want to save on the ticket, travel light (taking with you a backpack with the most necessary and only allowed for transportation on board the aircraft) or pack one suitcase for two if you are traveling with a company.
