# Connecting between low-cost flights: where the risks lieConnecting between low-cost flights: where the risks lie

An airport with many low-cost services does not necessarily offer passengers a seamless connection between them.

Context

## Separate tickets

If you book two flights separately, the airlines may not be responsible for a missed connection. You may have to collect your baggage, leave the transit area and check in again. Allow extra time if you also need to change terminals.

In practice

## Work out the full cost

Compare the total cost, including baggage and any overnight stay, rather than just the two fares. Check baggage-drop deadlines and the entry requirements for the country where you are connecting. With a short connection, a more expensive through-ticket can sometimes be both more reliable and better value.

Summary

## The takeaway

A large number of low-cost airlines at an airport does not guarantee a protected connection.
