When planning a trip, one of the most important aspects is finding the right flight at the best price. One of our recommendations for traveling cheaply is to check for airports near your final destination. In Trabber’s flight search engine, we offer the ability to easily search including nearby airports. This feature can help you find more convenient fares or routes that you might not have considered.
To tell the search engine to include those airports, you simply need to check the option ‘Include nearby airports,‘ located under the city or airport selection, both for the destination and origin.
Of the total searches, 87.5% of users do not check the nearby airports option, while 12.5% do.
Registering with Trabber enhances your travel search experience.

If you usually buy flight tickets online, perhaps you have come across the situation where the same ticket could be purchased on several different websites.
It’s possible that all these websites may seem similar to you, but even though the differences are not always immediately apparent, the fact that you conduct your search on an airline’s website, through a travel agency, or using a search engine can influence aspects such as availability, after-sales service, or price.
Therefore, it’s worthwhile that next time, before booking your ticket, you take a moment to pause and consider where you are and what you can expect.
Buying from an airline website such, British Airways, American Airlines, Ryanair or EasyJet
Airlines, besides offering passenger transportation services, also directly manage the reservation process, making flight tickets available for purchase.
Since agencies are not intermediaries, airlines often sell tickets at cheaper rates. In a study we conducted on a random sample of 20,000 searches, we found that 76% of the time, the airline offered the best price. However, this is not a fixed rule, and the percentage varies considerably when analyzing prices separately for low-cost airlines and traditional airlines.
Generally, airlines will offer better prices on straightforward tickets without complex connections, whereas agencies, through GDS, are able to provide better options.
Buying from a travel agency such as Kiwi, Trip.com, Budgetair and many others
Travel agencies act as intermediaries, meaning they acquire tickets from airlines and then sell them to the end traveler.
As intermediaries, their prices tend to be higher than if the ticket is purchased directly from the airline website, but this is not always the case. Airlines offer volume discounts to travel agencies that also affect the prices offered to the traveler.
So, if buying from a travel agency is almost always more expensive, why would the end user want to pay the difference?
The main feature of agencies is that they provide added value to the purchase, although the value provided may be more or less interesting depending on the specific agency.
For example, a good agency will offer interesting promotions or vacation packages in combination with various airlines they work with, along with services such as hotel and car rental reservations. One of the cases where it is more interesting to book through an agency is for long-haul trips with layovers, as by considering routes from various airlines, travelers will have more options to choose from, including different prices.

Our four-legged best friend is another member of the family and, as such, we like to share our holidays with him. Until not very long ago, it was a rather challenging task to find a hotel which accepts pets. But, luckily, tourist establishments have become aware of this necessity and, the pet traveller has a wider range of possibilities to travel with his best friend.

Evelop Airlines. This airline belongs to Barcelò Group and it is based at Palma de Mallorca airport. This year the company has transformed itself from a charter airline to a regular airline. For now it offers flights from Madrid-Barajas airport to destinations in the Caribbean.
Croatia Airlines. It is the national airline of Croatia. It operates from its base at the airport in Zagreb.
We also add two new providers to the Car Rental search engine on this update: GoldCar and Enterprise Rent A Car. We believe that after adding these two news providers, you will notice an improvement on many of your searches. Definitely we encourage you to try this new version!
Finally, we add to the Hotel search engine a new provider, Budgetplaces, an online consolidator specialized in budget hotels, hostels and B&B, with over 10,000 accomodations in 100 countries worldwide.
