Thousands of Flights. One Easy Search.

Start by searching for your destination, travel dates and preferred airport on the Crystal Travel website. Once you've found a suitable flight, you can directly call our travel agents on 0203 023 7773 or submit the enquiry form. A Crystal Travel agent can then help you with the booking and available payment options.

Prices vary by route and season, but as a general rule, booking further in advance for long-haul flights and being flexible with your travel dates can help you find a better fare. Midweek flights are also often cheaper than weekend departures. Our agents can help you compare options if you're not tied to fixed dates.​​​​​​​

If your flight is delayed or cancelled by the airline, you may be entitled to compensation, rebooking, or a refund depending on the circumstances and the airline's own policy. If this happens, contact our travel agent, and we'll help you understand your options and next steps.​​​​​​​

For international flights, arriving around 2-3 hours before departure is generally recommended, and a bit earlier for long-haul or peak travel periods. Check your airline's specific guidance, as recommended times can vary.​​​​​​​

A direct flight takes you to your destination without changing planes during the journey. A connecting flight requires you to stop at another airport and board a different plane before reaching your final destination. Your choice may depend on your preferred travel time, budget, and convenience.​​​​​​​

A one-way flight works well when you do not have a set return date or plan to return from a different city. It can also be useful for travellers who want to arrange their return journey later or continue their trip to another destination.​​​​​​​

A multi-city flight is designed for trips that include more than one destination. You can add different cities to your itinerary instead of booking each part of the journey separately, making it a useful option for holidays with several stops.

A red-eye flight usually departs late in the evening or during the night and arrives early the next morning. This type of flight can suit travellers who prefer to travel overnight and use their daytime for activities at their destination.​​​​​​​

Crystal Travel has been helping travellers find flights that fit their budget and plans for over 39 years. You can compare fares and cabin options, choose from different ways to pay, including Fly Now Pay Later and our own Book Now Pay Later plan, and book with confidence knowing we're ATOL and ABTA protected.  

Baggage allowance depends on the airline and fare type you book, not a fixed amount across all flights. Budget fares often include hand luggage only, with checked baggage as an optional extra. Always check the allowance for your specific fare before you travel to avoid unexpected charges at the airport.

Most airlines don't allow name changes after booking, though minor spelling corrections may sometimes be possible depending on the airline's policy. If you've made a booking error, contact us as soon as possible, as options and fees vary by airline and how close you are to departure.​​​​​​​

Crystal Travel offers several ways to pay for your flight. You can pay by debit or credit card, and digital wallet options may also be available. If you'd prefer to spread the cost, eligible bookings may also qualify for Fly Now Pay Later through selected third-party payment providers or Crystal Travel's in-house Book Now Pay Later option. Available payment methods and terms can vary by booking.

Connecting flights may cost less than direct flights on some routes, but this can vary. Fares are affected by the airline, travel dates, route, number of stops, and seat availability. Comparing both options can help you find a flight that suits your budget and schedule.​​​​​​​

Refundable flights offer greater flexibility if you need to change your travel plans. Depending on the fare conditions, you may be able to cancel the booking and receive a refund. Always check the airline's refund rules before making your booking.​​​​​​​

The main difference is the duration and distance of the journey. Short-haul flights generally take up to around 3 hours and are commonly used for travel between nearby cities or countries. Long-haul flights usually take 6 to 14+ hours and are often used for journeys between distant countries or continents. Long-haul trips may also involve more time spent on board and different travel arrangements compared with shorter flights.​​​​​​​

Same-day return flights allow you to travel to a destination and fly back on the same day. They can be a practical choice for short business trips, meetings, appointments, or quick visits when an overnight stay is not needed.​​​​​​​
