BEHIND THE CURTAIN:
HOW I TRAVEL

A low fare is only useful if the whole arrival works. Before choosing a gateway city, compare what it costs to land, get to your first stop, and make the next move.

Consider this illustrative example in USD. These are invented numbers to show the comparison, not current fares.

Gateway A: $420 flight + $45 ground transfer + $95 extra night + $60 onward travel = $620 total.

Gateway B: $540 flight + $20 ground transfer = $560 total.

Gateway A looks $120 cheaper on the flight search. Once the necessary pieces are counted, it costs $60 more. It could still be the better trip if you want to spend time in that city. Now you know you are paying for an experience rather than claiming a saving that is not there.

Before you book, ask: Does this entry point lead to the journey I want? Which dates or commitments must be fixed? What can stay flexible without putting my trip under pressure? What is my workable route home or onward?

The Anzio One-Way Method turns those questions into a repeatable four-stage plan: Discover, Enter, Explore, Exit. It is a 32-page PDF with route examples, a cash-versus-points comparison, a traveler’s toolkit, and a decision brief to use on your own trip.

A one-way ticket is an option, not a rule. Check passport, visa, transit, and onward-travel requirements for your route before you pay.
