Cheap international flights - where do i search?

Which are the links i go to to find cheap international travel ?



i mean - bucket fares ( whatever they are )

- cheap fars booked in advance

- last minute deals

- schemes and packages given by airlines or countries from time to time ( for ex - , i got a travellers pass from SA airways ten years back, a sri lankan fight plus hotel pacage 5 years back, a malaysian airline 3 stop deal 2 years back.......) any one shop website hosting links to all these deals ?

- anything else ?Cheap international flights - where do i search?
There are several ways to get the best airfare: Try one of the big companies: Travelocity.com. or Expedia.com. The advantage to them is that they show many different airlines and the cheapest prices for both the specific date you want to fly and the dates surrounding that date. In case your plans are flexible. The disadvantage is that you are locked into the fare dates. If you want to change a date due to injury or an emergency, their fees can be extreme.



Try the airlines directly. Either their Web sites or direct telephone lines. Some of the Airlines offer low price guarantees meaning that if you find a cheaper fight on another Web site they may match the price or beat it. Each airline is different though, so you have to check them out individually.



Just remember, if you are going to try to get the cheapest flights, the airlines normally have restrictions. You may have to purchase the ticket 14 or 21 days in advance, there may be no refunds or changes allowed. You really need to know these restrictions. If you try looking for a last-minute flight you will end up paying a lot more, although there are occasional exceptions. I personally, managed a last minute ticket to S.F on the Millennium New Years eve. And received a better price than my friends that had booked a month in advance! But… you cannot depend on this at all.

Usually travel agents do not get the lowest fares and sometimes they tack on a commission. Travel agencies used to be the best way to get the best airfare, but with the Internet, It is now just as easy for individuals to check themselves.



If you call an airline directly (they all have toll-free numbers), be sure to ask them if they have any specials. Often they do have specials, but you have to ask them about them!

So be careful about restrictions on tickets. Be aware of charges for overweight baggage and remember that many of the very CHEAP fares you see in the Travel section of the local Papers are fares that are quoted, “without taxes” Taxes can really add up.

Have fun and happy travels.
Best I've found are Kayak.com and cfares.com Buying way out doesn't do much anymore. I bought tickets 9 months ahead this year from Texas to Turks and Caicos and the prices went down about 2 months later from 600 to 400.

Sign up for "buzz" alerts on kayak, they check all the sites. But cfares is pretty outstanding, i saved a hundred a ticket from Texas to Rome this year for 3 tickets. they beat everyone that time.

Go to the airlines website FIRST. They usually have a low fare guarantee, which means that they'll beat any other price available online. e.g.



www.continental.com (Continental)

www.aa.com (American Airlines)

www.united.com (United Airlines)



etc...if you desire other airlines.



other than that, try



www.cheaptickets.com

www.orbitz.com

www.priceline.com



for last minute,

go to www.lastminute.com



Now the schemes and packages thing might be tough nowadays as airlines are competing to offer no frills flights. Yeah bad news to us travellers, but hey you want cheap flights right??



Spend some time looking through the web. Or else if you know airline employees, ask them for a companion pass. Then you'll REALLY be paying rock bottom prices. Good luck!

What is the best website for cheap international flights?

to HONG KONGWhat is the best website for cheap international flights?
try the airline aggregate websites like:
why not use a travel agent...they are professionals, and their services come free. Many credit cards have their own travel agents on staff for the needs of their customers.What is the best website for cheap international flights?
China air
I have found expedia good for long haul flights.. try expedia.com
I use the flight comparison sites Momondo and Skyscanner. They always have the cheapest international flights.



http://momondo.com

http://skyscanner.net
Have a look here at http://www.fascinating-travel-destinatio鈥?/a> where you can see a comparison of all the different airlines and their prices.
I would go to vayama.com or statravel.com (if you are of student age).



Vayama almost always has the cheapest fares around unless you can find a specialty travel agency for China. HIS Travel is great for Japan and always beats everyone because they buy blocks of tickets for cheap and then pass on the discount, but like I said, they are only for travel to and from Japan, not Hong Kong.



Vayama much better than the other "mainstream" sites like Travelocity, Expedia, etc. Everytime I have used it, I've either gotten the same price or better from Vayama as I would have gotten from those other sites because it searches those sites for fares as well.



Hope this helps!

What are the best places to search for cheap international flights among many major airlines?

kayak.com searches all the major sites as well as a lot of the other travel websites.





people are Sure to mention orbitz, cheaptickets, priceline travelocity, expedia and others. Kayak.com will search them all.





BE VERY WARY of certain people here who cut and paste answers and give you obscure websites with a string of numbers in the URL.





They often charge extra so they can pay a commission to the person whose link you clicked.

Does anyone know how to get really cheap international flights?!?

I really want to fly from somewhere near New York to Cairo, Egypt. It's like, number 3 or something on my bucket list. i'm working this summer and want to put away money for airfares and whatnot, but i don't think a little summer job at an ice cream shop is going to give me a wonderful trip to Egypt. So does anyone know any tips or anything that can get me some deals on flights like contests...something? Please help and be as specific as possible, it's really important to me. :-)Does anyone know how to get really cheap international flights?!?
Try 'name your own price' on Priceline.com, you might get really cheap tickets. The catch is you can only put in the departure and destination cities and the dates and bid on a ticket. If you bidding price is accepted, you'd be charged right away before you can find out the detailed itinerary which most probably would be horrible. You could be leaving on a 6 am flight then wait for 10 hours for another red eye flight or making 1 or 2 more stops until you arrive.
No, there aren't any "tricks". It will be expensive and there isn't much that you can do about it.Does anyone know how to get really cheap international flights?!?

    There are deals that come up all the time - it just depends on where you wanna go.



    Right now is a high time for travelling so you'll generally be paying more no matter where you go to, but if you can hold off to travel in September or after, prices drop a lot and a lot of seat sales come up.



    You should check out sites like travelzoo.ca (sign up for the weekly top 20 newsletter) and flightcentre.ca for great last minute deals as they come up.



    Good luck!

    Does anyone know where to get cheap international flights? Especially cheap flights to Japan and Netherlands?

    The best way for international fares is to check with your travel agent, they use consolidator's for net fares, of course they mark it up but it's off the net, you will only find published pricing online, you can save alot of money getting your ticket through consolidators, when I buy mine my travel agent uses Skylink.......
