Upgrade your lifestyle by travelling more for less using this simple yet powerful hack.

This Hack I use all the time when booking flights for my family. Due to the simplicity and the ability to break up long flights with a fun stopover.

I’ll call this Hack the One way, Multi City, Return Flight Hack

For a normal person, booking flights goes a bit like this. Go to Kayak, Momondo, skyscanner and select return trip, put in your destination and dates.

Then hit the search button, wait for the price to show up, change dates if the prices are too high.

If the prices remain too high, begin stressing and possibly giving up on the holiday. Sounds familiar? Don’t worry I have been there also.

But due to this hack and the other ones I provided you will soon become a Flight searching Enthusiast. Designing your life around the trips you take and the countries you see.

The One way, Multi City, Return Flight Hack

So this hack is very helpful for when you want to go away for a holiday. It works similarly to a Return but instead of booking the whole itinerary with one airline, you break it up and use another airline as well.

So to start off you get a budget flight to a major Airport which is along the way to your Final Destination. Once there you book a multicity flight to your holiday destination and all the way back to your starting point.

For example:

Sydney -> Singapore (on a budget airline)

Singapore -> London -> Sydney (Multicity using one carrier)

One thing you need to make sure of is that you have enough time between the Budget flight and the Multicity flights as you will have to check in again and if you have baggage, claim it and put it on the new plane. I would recommend no less than 5 hours between the flights and just to be sure I would stay a day or two in the city or country that your flights intersect.

This is a great way to break up the long flight and in some instances provides you with another holiday within a holiday.

So why does this work:

You fly into a major Airport (Hub City) where there is more competition between airlines. So to get more sales they lower the prices You cut out a part of the trip which might be highly booked out. E.g. the seat prices might be more expensive on just one part of the whole trip You include a low-cost carrier in the overall trip.

Sometimes I found that its best to include the low-cost carrier on the way back:

Sydney -> London -> Singapore (Multicity using one carrier)

Singapore -> Sydney (on a budget airline)

This way you literally end up with an additional holiday where you can rest up. I like to stop in Thailand where it’s super affordable and you can lay on the beach and drink pina coladas.

Things to keep in mind when booking these kinds of flights

always have enough time between the budget and normal airline so as to not miss your flight If you have checked in Baggage you have to take pick it up when you land at the junction between your 2 flights and check it back in on the new flight. Check Visa requirements for the country you go to. Pack some food and water on your budget airline so you don’t have to spend your savings on super overpriced food

Now, this is a really simple technique and can save you hundreds. The most I ever saved was $500. Which went towards my second holiday in Singapore.

You can also use this hack in conjunction with the hack that not even travel agents know about.
