In Longman dictionary

GRAMMAR: Word order • Already often comes at the end of a sentence:

I knew that already.

I was tired already.

I have booked the tickets already.

As well as at the end of a sentence, already can be used in the
following ways:

• Already can come before a main verb:

I already knew that.

• Already comes after ‘be’ when it is the main verb:

I was already tired.

✗Don’t say: I already was tired.

• Already comes after the first auxiliary verb:

I have already booked the tickets.

✗Don’t say: I already have booked the tickets.

In Oxford dictionary

also / as well / too

Also is more formal than as well and too, and it usually comes before
the main verb or after be: I went to New York last year, and I also
spent some time in Washington. In British English it is not usually
used at the end of a sentence. Too is much more common in spoken and
informal English. It is usually used at the end of a sentence:‘I’m
going home now.’ ‘I’ll come too.’. In British English as well is used
like too, but in North American English it sounds formal or
old-fashioned.

My question is that:

Can "also / as well / too" and "always" be in the same sentence?

Is it ok to say:

I have already booked the flight, too

I have also already booked the flight.

I have already booked the flight, as well

Best Answer

Yes, your sentences are correct and it is possible to use two adverbs in a sentence.

Remember that when you use words like too, also, and as well, you'll need to justify their use, which means having a prior idea to expand upon.

I'm going to the mall. She is going [to the mall] too.

I've gotten the birthday cake. I've also hung up the decorations.

I've swept the floors and [I've] cleaned the sink as well.

If the action has been done, and it contains already, too and as well can be used to indicate that the same action has also been done by someone else:

I've already been to that restaurant. I've already been [to that restaurant] too.

I've already gone upstairs. I've already gone [upstairs] as well.
