Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting your tickets involves buying separate tickets for different parts of your journey instead of one ticket for the entire trip. This method can often be cheaper and is perfectly legal. For instance, if you're travelling from A to B, you might find that purchasing a ticket from A to C, then C to B costs less than a direct ticket.
