http://www.missiontravel.org/- If you are ever going on a humanitarian or mission trip (working with some kind of a non-profit), don't book your airfare until you've checked missiontravel.org first. With contracts from airlines for (oftentimes significantly) lower fares if it qualifies as a humanitarian flight. They can also book air originating from any country, not just the USA.

european discount airlines:

www.ryanair.com
www.easyjet.com
www.air-berlin.com (germany)
www.volareweb.com (italy)
www.virgin-express.com

there is also a wiki-article about other airlines, but those are the major players for cheap cheap travel. http://wikitravel.org/en/Discount...t_airlines


just note that they often don't fly out of major airports, so getting from london heathrow to london stansted may be a great hassel unless you are very cheap and exceptionally patient.

Go to http://www.grab2travel.com
Go to "Flight" section

Also try "SmartSearch"... you can compare prices on all major travel sites by entering trip detail once... once you enter ur dates etc.. you are good to go to compare.. I liked that place.. you can do similar search for Flights, Cars, Hotels, Cruises, Vacation Packages etc...

Just looked todays list and the east coast fairs. HKG to IAD, FLORIDA, NY ETC $560

Sydney Australia now in shoulder season $360

Sweden $600

Shanghai $260

Mumbia India $380

Delhi India $350

Moscow $410

When searching and you see a deal why not post here as many people go to HK and can do some cheap mileage runs from here.

All these were found on www.travelsexpert.com and there are many more this is just a sample. The best thing about this site is you can ask for your exact dates, they'll confirm and all you have to do is give an email address, no crediti card info etc. but if you want to book then they ask you for your details. Nice change from providing info first and then they tell you.

Enjoy
Robert

PS on this site you get all your miles too, not like other bucket shops.

I'm going to need a flight to Poland, but prices are much higher than last year at this time.
Last year I got out in Feb for $666 otd. Now, the cheapest is 877 and they want 10% of that for my infant daughter. So 87+ $400 taxes/fees/surcharges, and I'm getting robbed.
Anyone know of airlines that don't scalp you if you have an infant? on your lap.


An Idea w I had was to get a flight that connects Through germany and just take a train the rest of the way....
Like, a flight to moscow, that connects through frankfurt perhaps? Anyone ever tried this?
