Make sense of travel deals

A low headline price is only the starting point. Here is what to compare before deciding whether an offer suits your trip.

Rumbía publishes travel advice. We do not sell these offers, take bookings or guarantee prices or availability.

Flights: compare the full fare

Check baggage, seat selection, payment fees and airport transfers. Compare the same dates and fare conditions, and confirm the final price with the airline or seller.

Hotels: read beyond the nightly rate

Look at taxes, property fees, meals and cancellation deadlines. A cheaper room may cost more once you add the things you need.

Packages: check what is included

Confirm the flights, room type, transfers and meals in the package. Read who supplies each part and who to contact if plans change.

Last-minute offers: leave room for the details

Check entry requirements, transport and accommodation before committing. A short booking window does not make an unsuitable trip a good deal.

Before you book

  • Check the offer on the provider’s own website and confirm that it is still available.
  • Compare the final total for the same travelers, dates and inclusions.
  • Read the change, cancellation and refund conditions.
  • Keep a copy of the price, terms and booking confirmation supplied by the seller.
