Flight Deal Comparison Board: Compare True Fare, Not Base Fare
Use this page with the main cheapest-time guide to compare multiple flight options by base fare, bags, seats, transfer cost, timing friction, and fare-rule risk.
How to use it
Compare the real deal, not the cheapest-looking fare
1. Add base fares
Enter the advertised fare for each option.
2. Add extras
Add carry-on, checked bag, seat, and family seating fees.
3. Add transfers
Account for alternate airports, rideshare, train, parking, and late-night arrival.
4. Add timing friction
Estimate cost of bad timing, long layovers, or lost trip time.
5. Add rules risk
Basic economy and strict rules can reduce the value of a low fare.
6. Pick the winner
Choose the best true fare and schedule, not just the lowest base fare.
