When looking for airline prices, is it best to look for busier airports?

score:3

Accepted answer

Bigger airports doesn't necessarily mean better fares. I would say that the competition on a specific route is key to better fares.

I live for example in Belgium, but often fly from Amsterdam airport. Some airlines consider main train stations as airports, so I can book a airplane ticket from the train station of my home town to almost anywhere, "transferring" at Amsterdam airport. Often I pay less then a passenger on the same flight leaving Amsterdam, who boarded in Amsterdam directly. I guess it mainly boils down to pulling passengers away from Brussels airport.

So to find the better fares try to identify which carriers offer a specific route.
