When to fly
November brings lower prices as travel demand drops before the winter holidays. Flights run through December, February, March, May and August with visible fares, though daylight hours shorten noticeably outside spring and summer months. Booking mid-week often yields better value than weekend departures.
Airlines and what to expect
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines operates as a full-service carrier with checked baggage included in the fare. Eurowings Discover offers similar coverage on its connections through European hubs. Pegasus provides budget pricing where extra charges apply for luggage and seat selection, making it worth comparing what each ticket covers before choosing.
