Put the important trip question first.

Before comparing every option, decide what will matter on the actual day: flexibility, walkability, transfer time, breakfast, a quiet room, or enough time to arrive without losing the evening.

THE CHECKLIST

Three things to compare before booking.

  • What changes if the date, arrival time or luggage plan changes?
  • Which costs appear after the initial price is shown?
  • Does this choice give the trip more room, or merely look convenient in a browser tab?

THE NEXT STEP

Keep the booking decision useful.

A better booking choice is not always the cheapest option. It is the one that makes the rest of the trip easier to live through once you are there.
