✈️ Complex routes offered - sometimes there is no airline or airline alliance to connect departure and arrival airports in a single ticket. Then, the only option is to fly with a couple of tickets.
⌛️ Last minute bookings - when checking a flight last minute, separate tickets can have more options and better prices.
💰 Better prices - sometimes flying with two tickets is cheaper than traveling with one.
🔠 More options - you can have more options by checking single and separate tickets on one page.
🛂 Passenger documents to transit in the airport where the first ticket ends and the second starts
If a passenger doesn’t have the necessary documents to enter the country where the first ticket ends and the second one starts, they will not be allowed to take the flight by the immigration services. If the passenger is allowed to travel, they will not be able to leave the immigration area to recheck their baggage.
Baggage is usually checked in until the last destination in a single ticket (with rare exceptions). In a separate ticket, the baggage will be checked in until the last airport of arrival within the first ticket only.
To check in the baggage for the second ticket, the passenger would need to pass migration, present the necessary documents of the country (visa and permits), receive the baggage, and recheck it for the second ticket.
💸 Second ticket refund rules
Airlines bear the responsibility for flights within a single ticket. If a flight in a single ticket is canceled, the airline either has to reschedule the passenger or refund the unused part of the ticket.
In case of a separate ticket, if flights are delayed or canceled in the first ticket, and the passenger can’t get on board the second ticket flight, the airline will not reschedule the passenger for the missed flights in the second ticket, and the second ticket refund will follow the ticket rules. That’s why it’s crucial to choose separate tickets where the second ticket is fully refundable, has a low refund cost, is very cheap or can be changed for free or for a fee. You can find here how to check ticket refund rules.
💼 Baggage allowance for both tickets
When booking separate tickets, each ticket can have completely different baggage allowances. Please check the baggage allowance for each ticket before booking.
See here how to check baggage allowance.
If you need more baggage, you can add extra bags before or after booking your flights. See here how to do this.
You can check here for possibilities to ask airlines to check in your baggage to the final destination, even with separate tickets.
If you need to plan a trip with a very complex route, consisting of 2+ tickets, you can plan the route here and then make 2 searches on the app to book your travel. Here is how to do it.
