How to book a cheap flight

I will write about a specific situation, where direct flights are expensive or not available, what and how it’s worth to look. As an example I can mention a flight from Riga (Latvia) to Billund (Denmark) – booking in advance it costs ~ 100 lats (~140 euro) round-trip. I managed to find such trip with three planes for 18 lats (25 euro) during Ryanair share. Saving is worth it to tolerate transfer. In addition, transfer can be organized to see the nearest city, and so on.

The first thing you should know is the destination’s nearest airport. During airline discounts look for cheap flights from departure and destination airports. You may find really cheap flight with one transfer, but it may happen that it is even cheaper to include one more transfer, because there may not be discount to flight to airport which would match flights from destination and departure airports; or between flights there are several days connecting flights for two shares. For example, I found a cheap flight from Riga to Stockholm and from Stansted to Billund airport, and then postponed to find which days are cheaper to fly from Stockholm to Stansted airport. There should be at least 3 hours between flights, if there is less time I would recommend not to risk and find another flight. If you will miss the plain- it will be just your problem.

Curonian Spit by motoscooter

It was long time ago but as a first blog entry I decided to write about unforgettable trip by Piaggio Sfera 125cc scooter.

I wanted to go out somewhere for weekend, so on Friday we with girlfriend (who was still at work) decided to go to the Curonian Spit with a scooter - crazy idea!

I read some tour descriptions, studied the road map, awaited girlfriend, and at ~ 6PM we were ready for adventure. To leave Riga at Friday evening is not fast thing to do, even driving barefaced in front of all. When we get out of Riga everything went a lot faster. The road in Eleja for scooter is pretty awful and all the time I had to concentrate a lot.
