Looking for Deals on Airplane Tickets & Credit Card Signups

[zaddi]

My grandmother is really sick and with all these money problems we are trying to do whatever we can for my dad to go see his mom in Bangladesh for what maybe his last time. She is 91 years old and not doing so great.

We are looking for the best deal we can get on two round trip tickets to Bangladesh from the NY or NJ area. As long as it's close to either of those areas.

The second is a credit card deal with no interest for the first year or so, or whatever we can get the best deal on. I have great credit and would like to be able to finance this trip for my parents since we are under extreme financial stress due to this horrid economy and our house mortgage issues.

Any help from anyone would be extremely appreciated.

This thread has great advice on finding the best price on airfare:

sign up for an airline credit card and get the bonus sign-up miles. which airline are you flying?

[zaddi]

Serra, if we get a deal good enough we will take whatever airline we can take that will take my parents to Dhaka, Bangladesh.

It would be from May 8 to June 5 preferably.

Any particular airline credit card you have in mind that you would recommend? We will most likely just close the account once we pay it off.

Does Delta fly to Bangladesh? If so, I saw a few really good Delta/AmEx deals reported here (http://www.extradime.com/forums/personal-credit-card-bonuses/). If you a looking for offers of 0% APR on purchases, check a list of cards sorted by the promo APR on purchases here (http://www.ugetfreecredit.com/credit/card/Regular/Promo_Purchase_APR/sorted_by_promotional_rate/purchase.php). If you have some spare time on your hands, you could also check these very old offers (http://www.extradime.com/forums/0-low-rate-offers-personal-credit-cards/) to see if any of them are still valid.
