Good to know
- Because it is such a large connecting point, give yourself more time between flights here. The terminals are linked by an underground train.
- Weekend flights are often busier, so a midweek departure can change the price picture. Ask about event dates before you lock in travel.
- Compare the total with bags included, not just the base fare. See baggage fees and taxes and fees.
