Pro tip: I heard a couple at a hostel in Lisbon talking about their 'flight hack' and it actually works

They said they always book one-way tickets on separate airlines instead of a round trip. I tried it for a trip to Mexico City and saved almost $150. You have to be flexible with your dates and check the budget carriers for each leg. It took me about an hour of searching on Skyscanner to piece it together. Has anyone else found this works better for certain regions?

What if the separate tickets cost more when you add checked bags twice?

That's a solid point from @cooper.viola about the bag fees adding up. Doesn't that just kill the whole deal if the extra costs eat up the savings? You'd have to run the real total numbers before you even try it.

Does this hack work better for flights within Europe or Asia?
