Question What is a one-way combinable flight and how can I benefit from it?
Answer
Travelup has launched technology allowing you to fly out with one airline and back with another, which could save you money. For example, a return flight to New York with one airline may cost £300. However, it might be £100 one-way with one airline and £170 with another the other way - saving you £30.
Being able to combine flights from different airlines also gives you more flexibility on flying times.
You will notice one-way combinables coming up in your search results if you do not select the option to fly with a specific airline. There are some considerations involved though, so please bear the following in mind when booking a one-way combinable flight:
- One-way combinables are two separate bookings (although you pay for them in one transaction), therefore if one of the flights is cancelled, the other airline has no obligation to refund for the other leg of your journey.
- Similarly, if schedule changes on your outbound route mean that you can’t catch your return flight, the second airline has no obligation to provide an alternative flight. One-way combinable flights may therefore not be suitable if you are planning to fly out and return on the same day.
