Price of self-transfer tickets versus separate tickets
Currently, I am looking for flights from Siem Reap (Cambodia, REP) to Jakarta. There are not direct flights, so I'll need a transfer. Most options are listed as self-transfer (on skyscanner) which basically makes them just two separate tickets without any guarantee of making the connection.
Now, I can also book two separate tickets, a few days apart and spend some time in the city where I am transferring (visa I would need anyhow).
My question is: is there generally a price difference between booking two tickets at once via, for example, Skyscanner and booking them separately (with different airlines or dates)?
Best Answer
1: Some airline offers Siem Reap to Jakarta one-stop journey with one PNR. one PNR means one ticket that mean luggage will be auto transfer to next flight but its high expensive(Thai Air offer like this flight will cost 443$).
2: but if you book two separate tickets with two PNR you can find very cheap ticket near 170$. always remember no guarantee for this method. if your first flight delay and second flight missed then you have to take the second ticket again. always book a ticket with up to 5 hours time gaps.on this method, you have to pass immigration also then check visa also transfer country.
3: if you book both tickets one time sometimes this method price also a little high. time gaps also you cant change.
both 2 and 3 points are the same no guarantee and the second method you can customise your time gaps.
Have a nice journey

Is it cheaper to buy tickets separately?
Key Takeaways. If you purchase multiple tickets in a single transaction, the price will be the same for each of the tickets. If not enough of the lowest-cost seats are available, you'll pay a higher cost for all of the seats. Buy the tickets one at a time to make sure you get all of the lowest-cost seats available.Are transfer flights cheaper?
Connecting flights are generally not more expensive than direct ones. In fact, they are generally cheaper as some passengers may wish to pay more in order to get to their destination quicker with a direct flight.Is it cheaper to buy one-way or return ticket?
Domestic vs International Flights Conventional travel wisdom suggests that one-way tickets can be a better value domestically, while international flights are a better deal when you purchase a round-trip.Why are single tickets more expensive?
One-Way Airfare is More Convenient for Passengers However, since the airline can't be sure you'll use them for the return trip, their one-way tickets are more expensive as a way to recoup the potential losses of you as a return passenger.Avoid This HUGE Mistake When Booking Flights - Kiwi.com
