Terms of Service

These terms cover your use of Break the Journey (this site). By using it, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

What this site is

Break the Journey is a flight metasearch tool. It searches third-party flight-pricing data to find routes where splitting a trip into two separately-booked one-way tickets — with a stopover at the layover city — beats or matches the price of flying the route as one connecting itinerary.

This site does not sell flights, issue tickets, or process payment. Every result links out to a third-party site (currently Skyscanner, or an airline's own site) where you complete the actual booking. Your purchase contract is with that third party, not with us.

Prices and availability aren't guaranteed

Prices, schedules, and availability shown here come from third-party data sources and can change — sometimes within minutes — before you reach the actual booking page. We do our best to show accurate, live data, but we can't guarantee the price you see here is the price you'll be offered when you click through. Always confirm the final price and itinerary details on the booking site before paying.

"Breaking the journey" is two separate tickets — real risk, on you

When this site suggests breaking a journey at a stopover city, it means booking two independent one-way tickets, not one connecting itinerary. This carries real, practical risk that's entirely yours to manage:

• If the first flight is delayed or cancelled, the airline has no obligation to get you on the second one — there's no through-checked itinerary linking them.
• There's no missed-connection protection between the two legs. Build in a real buffer, especially on the first hop.
• You'll collect your bags and check in again at the stopover, even for a short layover-turned-stopover.
• Visa and transit requirements for the stopover country are your responsibility to check before booking — they vary by nationality and can involve fees or advance applications.

We do our best to flag real layovers and self-transfer itineraries clearly, but the decision to split a journey, and everything that follows from it, is yours.

No warranty

This site is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We don't guarantee it will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that any result shown is actually bookable at the price displayed.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Break the Journey and its operator aren't liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site or a booking made through a third-party link from it — including missed flights, visa issues, price discrepancies, or any other travel disruption. You book third-party tickets at your own risk and discretion.

Changes

We may update these terms as the site changes. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent revision.
