Round Trip or Singles

Hi

I'm looking at booking a holiday to Morocco in September and will book flights and accomodation separately.

The flights i'm looking to book are with Thomson and cost £273 for a return trip. However when I look at booking 2 single flights they come in at £233. Obviously I would rather pay the lower amount but was wondering if something I will miss if buy two singles (eg. some kind of cover if things go wrong or something).

I can't think of anything but know is a few wiser heads on here than me

Many thanks for any advice

Roddy

    I would have no problem booking two singles if they are cheaper .

    Hi, I frequently book two single tickets with different airlines to get a cheaper return journey. I have never had a problem.

    I do it all the time
    The only possible issue that I can think of is if they cancel one of the flights, they wouldn't refund you for the other leg
