Making the most of a weekend trip

Pack cabin baggage only where you can — it's usually enough for 2-3 nights and skips checked-bag fees.
A Friday evening or Saturday morning departure with a Sunday evening return is the classic weekend pattern.
Book accommodation close to the centre — a short trip loses real time to a long transfer each way.
Check each route's own page for a full fare calendar before settling on exact dates.
Have a backup destination from the list above — the cheapest option can shift by the time you book.
