As you do this try to book airlines in the same alliance (i.e. OneWorld, Star Alliance, etc.). This can reduce headaches if one of your flights is late, etc.
Be warned, however, than even though airlines usually are accommodating, they do not have to.
hmm.. interesting, i didnt think about how a late flight would be handled by a different carrier. now i am a bit worried and this might be too risky
