7. Book flights with transfers yourself
When it comes to long-haul flights with one or more points of transfer, it may be wiser to book all the flights separately and include a few new destinations to your trip. For example, when travelling from Canada to Australia you will probably make a stop in LA. Well, you can make an actual stop there for a day or two and search for separate flights that will cost you cheaper that the one that just uses LA as a transfer point.
To make this right you will need to search for tickets from various airlines and spend a fair amount of time looking for the best option. But it will pay off eventually! Use search engines like Kiwi to track cheaper routes, plan layovers in exotic places, and save up to $400 or more. Just do your research!
