Help! =]

I need to purchase some international airline tickets and I want to make sure I'm getting the best deal.

I'm aware of all of my online options... Can I get a better deal offline? Where? How? Who?


[Note: I'm looking into purchasing 4 tickets... online, each ticket is going to cost from $1200 - $1400]


Thanks,

-Andrey Rozmaity

    Domestic travel is one thing. But, international? It's been my personal experience that travel agents are worth the time and money.

    If you are absolutely sure of your travel dates and are not planning on changing them you could use a consolidator. I have heard of people using asaptickets.com with success but you can basically make NO changes once you purchase the tickets so sometimes that does not work for business travel. They are online but I think you have to call to actually buy them once you check out prices online. And, add a couple hundred to prices you see online as it doesnt include taxes or fees, but they still seem SUPER low to me- i was looking just yesterday for an upcoming flight to Moscow but couldnt handle the not being able to make any changes part of it.... I have used consolidators in the past back when I lived in NY though and it worked fine.

    Not sure where you planning to travel to. But, if it is Asia, then Robert at Asia Travel in the ID is the guy to see. I book all my trips to China through him. Great guy, fair prices, EXCELLENT service.

    Sometimes cheap is not so cheap if you need to make changes, or have too many restrictions. Robert is knowledgeable about the industry and will hook you up with the re right ticket for you needs.

    call him at (206) 340-8888

    safe travels! Michael

    I've used Michelle Mallory the last two times I've travelled and each time she's gotten me either a lower price than I found online or a better package.
