 |
|
I have been quoted 36000nt for return airfare to Canada. Last yr I paid 29000 for a return ticket from the same travel agent. I have been using the same agent for the past 2 yrs and have got some sweet deals to other places so I don't think they are ripping me off.
Just wondering what other fellow North Americans are paying for their return ticket this xmas. |

travel agents are a thing of the past.
i just saw a 1 way return from taipei to vancouver for 730$ CAD which is about 20,000 NT.
go to www.evaair.com and book online. forget travel agents, they take a big cut. you got ripped off at 29,000NT |

| I think the poster wants a return ticket, meaning two-way. I'm guessing s/he is going home for Christmas and returning after. Not sure a one-way would be helpful or useful if the person intends to come back. Two one way tickets cost more than one round-trip ticket. Check the original post. It refers to the price of a return ticket. Return does not mean "return to your country." It means two-way. Go to your destination and then come back again. |

Travel agents are very useful for getting visas. If you make a multiple entry visa a condition for purchasing the ticket there is very good chance you will get exactly what you ask for.
Travel agents may charge a bit more for their services but being stuck in HK or the Philippines without a visa can be very expensive as well.
Good luck,
A. |

Not sure what any of this has to do with a trip home for Christmas. |

Does China Airlines still have a bad rep?
Anyone flown with them recently?
I've booked a flight with them but not sure if I should've or not.
They fly to Canada once a day - no problems in the last few years, touch wood! |

I managed to secure a flight with...yes no other than China Air. 32.5 including tax. I flew with them last yr and I can't say I was overly impressed with the service.Maybe it will be better this yr.
I'm still interested in knowing what other people paid for their flights back home this xmas. |

Mine was $38,700 China Air during Chinese New Year.
Flights go up during CNY about $8,000 or so. |
