Our Verdict
For 80% of tourists with fixed return dates, round-trip booking is the smart choice — you save 5-10%, eliminate re-booking stress, and get a coordinator who knows your full itinerary. Reserve one-way only for genuinely uncertain trips, multi-city itineraries, or when departure is from a different airport. The discount alone usually justifies booking both legs together.
