Travel tips
Below we will refer to travel tips that we have discovered and used on our travels...
Multiple city tickets
If you are thinking of traveling to a distant destination and visiting more than 1 place or country, select multiple cities in the ticket search where you can set your departure from Greece with the first destination and return from the last destination you are to Greece . Most of the time the cost of the ticket can be even lower + you also save a return flight to your original destination. Maybe we confused you so example!!!
You want to travel, for example, to Bangkok, but you also want to take an internal flight to Phuket, you can choose Athens-Bangkok and your return from Phuket-Athens. Or you want to travel to Phuket and then go to Malaysia for a few days, in which case you can return to Greece from Kuala Lumpur. (The same can be done with countless combinations as long as the first airline you choose has a flight to the last destination you want!!)
In Asia air travel between countries is very economical with major airlines (THAI - MALAYSIA -SINGAPOORE).
Airlines such as Qatar-Emirates-Sqoot-Oman-Singapore fly to countless destinations especially in Asia and with Multiple cities tickets you save money, extra flights and time!!!
Free Stopover
Travel tips that you might not have known!!!
Free stopover...If you are traveling to a distant destination and have a stopover at country of the airline you are flying you can request that your stopover ticket be changed free of charge for 1-2 days afterwards so that you can also see the country of the airline you are flying. Usually if you need a visa this place provides it for free and also gives you coupons and information to get to know their country. We set an example for those we confused!!
It has a stopover in Doha and Thailand with 2 stops. hours. You can request in advance by contacting Qatar a free stopover to see Doha that you may not have been to and perhaps you would not go and the airline changes your ticket for 2 days and then provides you with a visa for free and in our case even travel tips on how to see their country...
The same can be done even if you have to wait at the airport for more than 8 hours for your next flight...
You can do the same if you fly with Emirates and have a stopover in Dubai or if you fly with Ethiopian airlines and have a stopover in Ethiopia... etc. as long as you fly with the national carrier of the country where you will have a stopover!

Google maps Pin
The most important tool when planning a trip abroad alone is to remember everything you have looked for and found in each destination. So when we look at sights or anything interesting for the destination we are going to visit, we save it on google maps with a star so that every time we return to the map of the country it is there and reminds us of it. Thus, during the process of planning the trip, you can combine the attractions with each other and save time...
We also do it when we see other attractions in countries that we have not been to so that they are there and when we put them in the program it is easier to search.
You can also save the map of each country to your mobile phone before your departure through the google maps application and you will not need data when you arrive at the destination to open it.
Search for cheap flights
