I would like to add that there is a new consolidator site http://www.FlyLink.ca offering cheap flights to all international sectors. I booked my cheap flights to Mumbai on Flylink.ca and saved 300 hundred dollars as compared to other sites. Very nice post.

About region-specific consolidators, you mentioned Chinatown travel agency that specializes in fares to China. In fact if you want to fly to China, the website gochina.travelsuperlink.com is a good one. They had a sharing airfare database from real travelers, and they had a quota request service you can ask airfare from several region-specific consolidators at the same time. I used them so often, I think it is good to recommend. I like these tips. About region-specific consolidators, you mentioned Chinatown travel agency that specializes in fares to China.

Any advice about buying vouchers or gift cards on line? I am looking to fly to Raleigh Durham on 5/24/08 and return on 5/27/08? You might also wish to remove skybus from the list since they are no longer flying.

Any other new consolidators?

Any advice about buying vouchers or gift cards on line? I am looking to fly to Raleigh Durham on 5/24/08 and return on 5/27/08?

You might also wish to remove skybus from the list since they are no longer flying.

I saved so much money in a time of emergency. Don't know how to thank you. I needed to get to Tokyo ASAP. All tickets on sites like Kayak, priceline, orbitz, were over 2000 dollars. I called the airline up directly and begged, still they only offered a hundred dollar discount. After a couple hours of searching on the internet, i came to this site. With the student discount website, I purchased my ticket for 1183 dollars. Almost half price. Thanks so much! Thanks so much for your tips. I saved so much money in a time of emergency.
