Questions before you book
Is the estimate a confirmed nonstop flight?
No. Even a route within nominal range needs assessment for the actual aircraft, load, weather, reserves and airport conditions.
Can the return trip cost the same?
Do not assume that it will. Aircraft location, crew arrangements and timing can differ. Ask for a separate round-trip or multi-leg quote.
