Honestly, booking a flight to a bigger city nearby saved me over $300 on my trip to Portugal

I was looking at flights to Faro for a beach trip, but the prices were crazy. On a whim, I checked Lisbon instead, and the ticket was way cheaper. I just bought a $25 bus ticket from Lisbon to Faro, which took about three hours. Has anyone else found a cheaper airport nearby that made a trip work?

Oh totally, I do this all the time. Flying into Milan instead of Venice saved me a fortune last year, and the train ride was actually a nice way to see the countryside. It's wild how much prices can jump for a slightly more convenient airport. Always worth checking a map and looking at the transport links.

@the_susan how far out did you book that train from Milan?
