Dan explained if you see a flight with a red-caution symbol, make sure to carefully check the flight details thoroughly. The content creator - who said he 'loves' Google flights for finding deals - insisted you do have to be careful if something appears to be too good to be true.
'It's very important if you do see this symbol, it's important to pay attention to what it's trying to warn you about,' he explained. Dan went on to say there were four reasons why you may get this symbol when looking at flights. One of the reasons is that there is a long layover, and may even require a hotel room for the night.
'It's very important to consider because you wouldn't want to be in the [airport] that long,' he pointed out.

'You are no longer a transit passenger, but you are entering the country,' he reminded viewers. The second reason for the symbol may be that the flight requires changing airports. Using an example flight from Perth, Australia, to Vancouver, Canada, Dan pointed out there is a transfer between airports from Narita to Haneda Airports in Tokyo.
