Book and check

  • Book in order, first flight first. If a price has gone up, you can rethink the trip before buying the rest. Prices are the cheapest seen lately, for one traveller, not quotes: "Check price" opens the live one. Separate tickets: if one flight is late or cancelled, the next airline won't wait.
  • If a flight is late or cancelled. Each flight is its own ticket, so the next airline won't wait or rebook you for free if you miss it. Tightest on this trip: one night in Phuket, so a flight in a day late misses the flight out. Where a connection is that tight, you can book the next flight once the one before has landed, though its price may have gone up. If a flight is cancelled, its airline normally offers another flight or your money back: take the one that still makes your next flight. A flight missed because the one before was late is usually lost, so look for travel insurance that covers missed connections.
  • Entry rules. Check passport and visa rules for Thailand, Malaysia before you book.
  • Travel advisories. Neither Canada nor the US advises against travel to any country on this trip.
    Each country's advisory level
