• Flexible dates: price up two or three alternative departure days. Moving your flight by just a day can sometimes cut the cost noticeably.
• Baggage allowance: review exactly what comes with each fare before you pay, to dodge any surprise fees once you're at check-in.
• Airports on your route: pin down which airport you'll use at both ends of the trip, particularly where a city has several, as it shapes your transfer time and overall spend.

There's more to shave off the total too: pairing your flight with a hotel in an Opodo Flight + Hotel package unlocks exclusive savings on your stay in Cairns, and tacking on a hire car can cut the cost further still.
