Cheap Ticket Flights

I would like to go Taiwan Kaoshiung on 22 sept and back to Singapore on 30 Sept or 6Oct to go and back on 14oct. The air tickets to go there for 1 person is more expensive than 2 to go. Anyone going we can travel together for the flight only??I'm not looking for travelling partner but just taking the flight together and coming back together.I fly there very often so trying to save cost on the air ticket.

I'm flexible with the time.
I have checked the normal price for 1 person online using airlines website and also check with travel agent. As long as one person you will have to pay more. they had cheaper price for only 2 person only.

Don't you have friends in SG who would be willing to fly with you? I would see if a travel agency can help you find a lower price ticket. If you know what dates you are flying to Taiwan ahead of time, you can call the airlines and tell them you will be flying this route on this and this date and ask if they can give you a discount rate.

my daughter's husband is being deployed for iraq for the 3rd time. she needs to see him before he leaves.can anyone suggest some ideas or assistance? i am not sure how to get a good deal for her.

Southwest is $349 each way–so that's not gonna work.

If she could come back the 24th, I see $479 total roundtrip with USair.

But for last-minute, it's often cheaper to bundle air with hotel or car. Even a short rental in a cheap car can qualify you for a better last-minute airfare when bundled. For that, try http://us.lastminute.com

Nothing makes a flight more pleasant than knowing you got your ticket at the lowest possible price.

I know if I take a flight from country X to country Y, it is cheaper if there is a stopover in between the 2 countries. However, I'm not sure what it really means as I have never taken a flight with stopover and is currently thinking of getting a cheaper air ticket by doing so.

For a stopover which is within 24 hours whereby I will continue my journey to my destination, can I allow to exit the airport and be back before the departure time to catch the connecting flight or am I only allowed to stay within the waiting premise until it is boarding time? Am I allowed to carry things bought from that country to my final destination during my stopover?

What is the difference between a "stopover" and "transit"? Don't both have the same meaning as a temporary stop before reaching the destination?

In technical airline lingo, a STOPOVER occurs when a passenger arrives at an intermediate point and is scheduled to depart later than 24 hours after arrival (in local time). An exception to this is for travel wholly within Central America or for travel wholly between Central America and Panama, when a passenger arrives at an intermediate point and is scheduled to depart later than 6 hours after arrival (in local time).

If the connecting time is less than 24 hours (or less than 6 hours in the case of Central America) as per above definition, then it is a TRANSIT STOP, and the term TRANSITING IN XXX (CITY NAME), like TRANSITING IN SEOUL, is used.

They are usually interchanged by non-airline staff or non-travel agents but this should not be the case because fares are largely dependent on STOPOVERS and TRANSIT STOPS. Stopovers do not necessarily bring down fares. On the contrary, some excursion and advance purchase fares have add-ons for stopovers.

If you are purchasing a regular published fare, the fare rules will dictate if stopovers are allowed or not. For example, a regular economy or business class fare will allow unlimited stopovers en route without changing the fare. However, there are some cities that impose taxes (terminal fees that are collected during ticket issuance) and these are added to the fare. If you choose not to make a stopover at one city and eventually decide to cut your journey and make a stopover when you get there, either the airline serving your onward connecting flight will collect the tax from you and reissue your ticket or you would have to pay the tax at the airport. But, as I've said, some budget fares do not allow stopovers or allow stopovers for an additional fee. Consult your travel agent about the different fare levels that are available for your routing.

You are allowed to exit the airport during transits, but that means clearing immigration and that would be dependent on your nationality. If a visa is required for your nationality, you should possess one before you can go out of the airport. If you can avail of a visa on arrival, you would have to fill up some forms and pay a visa-on-arrival fee. If you are visa exempt, then you can go ahead and exit the airport. Just make sure you go back to the airport in time for your onward flight.

As for shopping in the transit city, you can do so if you exit the airport, subject to customs regulations of the transit country. If you can't leave the airport or decide not to exit the airport, you can buy stuff at the duty-free shops in the transit area.

I would be able to give you more detailed advice if you can provide your origin country and city, your transit country and city, your destination country and city, and your nationality ( the country that issued your passport).

I am looking at going to Europe over spring break. Don't care where, just want the cheapest ticket possible. Often, you can buy cheaper tickets by flying to less popular destinations (like Duesseldorf or Manchester), even though you might be laying over in a more popular place, say London or Paris? Would it be good advice to buy a ticket to "WhoKnowsWhere" if it means a layover in one of those hub cities, and then just stay there, not using the third leg of the flight (as long as the same route is taken on the going and returning flights, of course)? Am I crazy? Are they going to charge me a fee for "missing the last leg of the flight" and picking up the return flight at the layover point?

For example, i just found a sale ticket to Munich for $538 pp including taxes. The layover is in London to and from. Could I just skip the London leg and have about 15 more hours of vacation time? A trip to london is probably more like $700 pp.

Nope, I asked about the same thing when I went backpacking this summer…there was a roundtrip flight from the u.s. to Munich that connected in London. We wanted to get off in London spend a few days and eventually make our way to Munich for the trip home. They told us that if we didn't reboard in London that we would lose out bags and our return flight would be cancelled. My advice if you are on a budget…get the most reasonable flight you can find into europe then fly easy jet or ryan air to where you want to go…you can find flights on those airlines for 20 euros sometimes. Just be careful because they have stricter weight restrictions on baggage so travel with the least amount of stuf possible.
