Split ticketing is a travel strategy that involves purchasing multiple tickets for different segments of a journey instead of a single through ticket. This method can lead to significant cost savings, particularly in rail and air travel, where pricing structures vary based on demand and routes.

How does Split Ticketing Work?

Travellers identify segments along their route where separate tickets may be more affordable than a single ticket covering the entire journey. These breakpoints allow business travellers to take advantage of different pricing structures offered by various transport operators.

After identifying the potential breakdowns, travellers will buy individual tickets for each segment of their journey.

Importantly, split ticketing does not require changing trains at the stations, travellers remain on the same train throughout their journey as long as the train stops at the right stations.

What are the Benefits of Split Ticketing?

• The main advantage of split ticketing is the potential for lower overall travel costs.

• It also allows for greater flexibility in travel planning, enabling business travellers to customise their journeys based on available pricing options.
