Important: Read this before you book flights with any airline
When searching for flights we always suggest you keep your search criteria as broad as possible. For example, if you limit your flight search criteria to a specific airline, you risk missing out on cheaper flights with other airlines.
If convenience is more important to you than price, by limiting your search to a specific airline, you will also potentially miss out on more convenient flights with other airlines that may have a shorter overall travel time or fewer connections etc.
