Make use of self-transfer by combining airplanes, buses and trains to create an itinerary perfectly customized to suit your travel plans
Kiwi.com wants to challenge the traditional way of ticket-selling by coming up with innovative travel hacks, and self-transfer is the hack at the very core of our product.
Thanks to our advanced Kiwi-Code that searches 95% of the global travel inventory, we help our customers piece together itineraries with different modes of transport, operated by different carriers. We let you pick from thousands of flights, bus journeys and train routes in order to create your ideal single ticket. This is called “virtual interlining”, or self-transfer, in practical terms. It’s simple, cost-effective, and gives you an enormous choice of travel options.

Not sure exactly how to get from A to B? Punch in your origin and destination on our homepage, adjust your search with our flexible parameters, and the Kiwi-Code will present you with detailed itinerary options with clear self-transfer instructions. Choose a combination and pay one price for the entire trip. Job done.
With such an extensive directory of connections, you have complete freedom to choose precisely when and how you want to travel. Kiwi.com combines journeys from travel providers that don’t usually collaborate, and so we’re able to offer you great deals on routes that you won’t find anywhere else.
Squeeze the most out of your trip with self-transfer
With self-transfer, you’re free to take an interim mini-trip at your layover. Because you’re taking care of your own transfer from one vehicle to the next, you’re not physically bound by any terminal’s transit zone. If you’re up for a spontaneous adventure, get out and discover what your stopover city has to offer — you might be in for some unexpected inspiration.
Rest assured that you’ve got the best deal out there
Not only do we offer thousands upon thousands of journey combinations (if you can’t find a specific itinerary on Kiwi.com, it probably doesn’t exist), we do so at great value for money. Our prices always have been and always will be very competitive, but don’t just take our word for it — book your next getaway now.
