01 / DECISION TRAPS

What can reverse the ranking?

The lowest headline fare remains provisional until these route-specific decision layers have been checked.

  1. 01

    Secondary airports add transfer cost

    Add the missing cost or protection difference to both offers before deciding.

  2. 02

    Codeshare display can hide the operator

    Verify the exact operating carrier and ticket structure on the final checkout screen.

  3. 03

    Separate airport tickets need buffers

    Compare the schedule after a plausible delay, not only when every flight runs on time.

02 / FOUR-GROUND-JOURNEY PROFILE

Compare outcomes—not city labels.

This is a qualitative decision map, not a live schedule or fare table. Use it to normalize the candidates you find today.

01

CDG → JFK

Primary-hub baseline

Add the Paris origin transfer and New York arrival transfer.

02

CDG → EWR

Arrival-side alternative

Compare final destination access, not the shared NYC city label.

03

ORY candidate

Origin-cost alternative

Verify that the exact date and operator exist before valuing convenience.

  1. 1Exact departure and arrival airport codes
  2. 2Ticket issuer versus transatlantic operator
  3. 3Ground transfer and replacement-flight exposure
