Things to know before book flight from UK

 Here’s a quick guide on things to know before booking a flight from the UK, especially if you’re flying internationally (e.g., to India):


🛫 1. Passport & Visa


Passport validity: Make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel date.


For India, UK citizens or residents (non-Indians) need a visa or e-visa.


If you’re an Indian citizen, ensure your Indian passport is valid and, if applicable, OCI or visa status is correct.


💷 2. Flight Booking Tips


Compare prices using sites like Google Flights, Skyscanner, Kayak, or Momondo.

Book early (6–8 weeks before travel) for best fares.

Flexible dates can save hundreds — midweek flights (Tue–Thu) are often cheaper.

Check layovers — direct flights (e.g., BA, Air India, Virgin Atlantic) are faster but costlier; 1-stop flights (Qatar, Emirates, Etihad, Lufthansa) may be cheaper but longer.


🧳 3. Baggage & Seat Selection


Check baggage allowance carefully — some budget fares include hand luggage only.


Extra baggage is often cheaper if added online, not at the airport.


Verify currency if paying in GBP vs another currency (some Indian airlines charge in INR).


Check hidden fees (service fees, credit card surcharges).
