The Money-saver
Flying low cost!
Searching engine - Vagabondo's advice

If you are in a hurry use the searching engine: it'll surely find very quickly something cheap. If you have more time you'd better consult the different airlines web sites, you might find something even more favourable and/or a small airport nearer to your final destination :-)

   Vagabondo's advice

• Low-cost and last-minute flies: Let's clear up a misunderstanding. The last-minute is connected with travel packages remaining un-sold; this thing, for flies only, happens very seldom, moreover, the risk is to be inserted in waiting lists and not be able to fly at the chosen moment. Often you may obtain lower prices by booking very early in advance than looking at the last moment among last-minute.
  
  
• Airport taxes: several low costa airlines do not include airport taxes in their prices. So you have to consider that these taxes are high (sevveral dozens of euros), but above all that they are extremely changing in different airports (usually the bigger the airport the dearer the taxes): consequently a flight to Rome Fiumicino, for instance, could be sensibly more expensive than one to Rome Ciampino (smaller and secondary airport), even if the price of the ticket appears to be the same. On the contrary, an offer looking more expensive could possibly include taxes, so you' should always try to understand which is the final price!
  
  
• Secondary airports: all above said , it's evident that low cost airlines trend is to work with smalle airports to save and make you save money. That's surely a very good thing, but our advice is to controle accurately the connections of the airport with your final destination (sometimes you may be lucky and discover they are quicker and cheaper than the main airport ones, but it's not always so)
  
  
• Searching engines for low cost flights: in this page there is edreams searching engine, that's, to our knowledge, the more effective and complete. Of course there are many more, but very few are as cheap as they say to be. Vagabondo tested 12 searching engines about an hypothetical weekend in London: only two of them were able to provide for a cheaper price than the one of Travel agency near our home! one of them even proposed us to fly with a Central Africa company for 1124 euro!! :-)
  
  
• The lower cost: the best way to obtain the lower price is, if you're patient, to look at all the low cost airlines websites and see the best offer. But luckily for you there is Vagabondo that, in the following pages , collected all the links and of everyone synthetically described the routes they serve (good, isn't it?).
  A last suggestion: when in the different airlines websites, look for routes map instead of filling the usual form write your destination: there might be a very useful flight arriving to a city near your destination: a friend of mine came to see me with an amazingly cheap flight Hambourg - Pescara, if she had looked for Rome she'd never have found that flight, but looking at the routes map she detected it immediately :-)
