Practical tips
Open the comparison table and check several dates. Flight fares change with the day and how early you book: shifting your trip by a single day can save you from paying much more for the same journey.
To avoid going to the wrong place, confirm the departure airport in Bordeaux (Mérignac) and the arrival airport in Bilbao on your e-ticket. Also note the terminal shown on it before leaving the city centre.
Not all offers follow the same itinerary. Check whether a stopover is included: it lengthens your day and adds the risk of missing a connection. Leave a comfortable margin if you need to link up with another journey afterwards.
A very low fare sometimes includes only a small personal bag. Compare the final price with luggage rather than the headline price: that is often where a flight ends up costing more than it first appears.
Carry a valid ID document, even within the Schengen area. Keep your e-ticket on your phone and, to be safe, download it so you can open it without a data connection.
