Flying on the central days of the week (Tuesday or Wednesday) and at less popular times (evening or night) can significantly reduce the price.
Airline and stopovers
Low-cost airlines offer cheaper direct flights, while traditional airlines, with stopovers, may have higher costs but greater comfort.
