try a local travel agent: they often have a few seats on a charter trip that need to be filled...

http://www.zuji.com has a good reputation, and Netscape/AOL travel used to have a good search engine that allowed a lot of flexibility in shopping for flights.

don't forget to collect your flyer miles! Cool

Check out the prices direct from the airline websites, esp. China Airlines and Eva Airlines. Maybe it depends on which city you are departing, but I found the airline website prices to be much cheaper than Expedia, etc.

Hi, I booked a flight yesterday from LAX to BKK for $1461, taxes included, on China Airlines from their website. I have flown with China Airlines a few times and they are pretty decent and punctual. Good luck.

Thank you... I checked on China Air and actually found one at a very reasonable price. In addition- has anyone flown on domestic flights around Thailand? I am thinking of flying into BKK and taking a very cheap flight to Phuket- but am wondering if they have similar baggage weight rules in Thailand as they do in Europe and if I will run into problems since I did not purchase the tickets together.
Thanks ahead of time.

yes. Wink


I have used the services of these airlines:
http://www.bangkokair.com/en/
http://www.airasia.com/site/th/en/home.jsp

With all due respect, if you ask these questions on a travel-related site rather than an English language teacher's site you will get many more answers. (you are not the only one who does this - don't take it personally!)

I suggest:
