Top ways to find a cheaper international fare from the US.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • internet access
  1. Step 1

    TRAVEL AGENT: Sounds pretty old school huh? An international travel agent is remarkably good at getting great travel deals especially to more remote areas -they get the deals esp.. to Asia. What you will find is that they have access to flexibility with their negotiating power and skills in adjustable scheduling, fees etc.

  2. Step 2

    SITES to try:
    Try Mobissimo
    Try Vayama
    Try Farecast
    Try Sidestep
    Try cFares(subscription needed)
    Traditional favorites like Expedia/Orbitz don't hurt!

  3. Step 3

    Consider flying into alternate airports internationally - smaller airlines like Qatar/Emirates/Jet Airways offer many unique options like flying to a smaller city in the same country. You can then book a cheaper incountry flight sometimes. Another tip is to consider breaking up your trip into shorter flights - i.e. book one flight to Europe or the Middle East and then to Asia vs.. flying directly to Asia with a stopover.

  4. Step 4

    Find the fare on a site and book directly with the airlines' website-may save you some in fees. You will be surprised.
