In short
Compare the total of flight plus hotel plus transfer, not only the flight. A flight 30 € cheaper can cost more if the hotel is 40 € a night dearer. Pick the destination and week that gives the lowest total.
Many people choose the flight first and the hotel later. Compare both together to save more.
The simple formula
Total = flight + hotel nights + airport transfer + food
Example
| City A | City B | |
|---|---|---|
| Return flight | 80 € | 110 € |
| 3 hotel nights | 270 € | 180 € |
| Total | 350 € | 290 € |
City B has the dearer flight but the lower total.
