This method is legal and can often result in cheaper fares. For example, if you are travelling from A to B, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than purchasing a direct ticket.

Traveling during off-peak hours

If your schedule allows flexibility, choosing off-peak hours for your trip from Preston to Nottingham can result in significant cost savings.
