The cheapest flight is not always the easiest one. For family trips, arrival time, transfer length and sleep rhythm often matter just as much as price.

Compare the full travel day

  • Avoid very short layovers when traveling with children.
  • Check whether your hotel can receive you near arrival time.
  • Leave enough buffer for immigration, luggage and local transfers.

Sky Group tip

When two fares are close, choose the option that reduces airport waiting and arrives at a practical hour.
