Key Savings Strategies

Book 2–5 months ahead for best fares; last-minute premiums are steep.
Midweek departure/return (Tue–Wed) often 10–20% cheaper than weekends.
Consider nearby airports: Brussels (BRU, 2 hr train), Düsseldorf (DUS, 2 hr), Frankfurt (FRA, 3.5 hr) sometimes cheaper.
Use fare alerts: Google Flights, Skyscanner, Hopper track drops.
Airline alliances: SkyTeam (Delta, KLM, Air France), Star United (United, Lufthansa), oneworld (American, British Airways, Iberia) offer code-shares.

Note: Prices exclude baggage fees, seat selection, and COVID-era volatility. Always verify current entry requirements (ETIAS from 2025).
