FYI: Use an in-country online travel seller to snag a great deal

* I just received my Smarter Travel newsletter & thought it appropriate for this tribe. Hope it helps! *

Sometimes, when traveling internationally, it pays to think locally—with local websites and travel providers, that is.

Heading to an Asia-Pacific destination? Check out Zuji, a Travelocity company that specializes in deals to and within Australia, Hong Kong, India, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, and Taiwan. If you're hunting down deals for London and beyond, bypass standard U.S. consolidators and check out the U.K. affiliates of Expedia and Travelocity, or compare prices with our sister company Booking Buddy.co.uk Priceline also operates a European affiliate, Booking.com.

For airfare, check European low-cost providers such as easyJet and Ryanair. Both offer great possibilities for connecting flights once you've arrived on the Continent. Momondo, a Danish travel company, offers metasearch possibilities, often including low-cost carriers in its search results.

If you're researching train travel, Eurostar, Rail Europe, and Eurail are great places to get started, or Google your destination country and "train passes" for in-country links.

Lastly, an in-country travel agent may know of local providers and deals that you couldn't find on your own. Getting in touch with a country or region's tourism board can often provide contacts in that arena.

Like any good bargain travel hunter, be sure to compare what you find on local travel sites against U.S. companies. You also may need to do a bit of converting from local currencies to U.S. dollars to ensure you're getting a good deal.

traveling to Tibet?

eli — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 08:50:46 GMT

This is still very much in the "gee, what do you think?" stage of discussion, but I might be headed to Tibet after Thanksgiving with a friend...

I'd like to get a feel for what is in store, in terms of ballpark figures for flights, if we do decide to go to Tibet. But that involves figuring out *where* to enter Tibet - through Nepal or through China.

Which is cheaper to fly into from California - Nepal or China? Easier? (Hopefully both, at the same time!)

Courier ticket?

melody — Tue, 30 May 2006 02:25:23 GMT

Does anyone know of a credible website where you can get low cost tickets in exchange for courier service? I'm in Guatemala now and a girl told me it's possible to fly super cheap if you only have one carry on and take other people's stuff as checked baggage. I'm looking to fly to Asia in the spring and would love to save money if possible, any input is appreciated. Thanks, Melody

Fabulous Bohemian Apt in Paris

skinnyvinny — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 15:32:52 GMT

€650/week Paris (Montmartre) Apartment for weekly Rental

Why rent an impersonal hotel room when you can have your own romantic place all to yourself? Experience Paris like a true Parisian, buying your baguette from the corner boulangerie, etc. Will make your stay in Paris unforgettable.

The apartment is extremely charming and romantic. It is like stepping back in time. The building dates from the 1700s. The apartment has its own entrance and is on the ground floor. It has one bedroom and sleeps 2 – 4 comfortably. There is a double bed in the bedroom and the living room has a fold-out couch. Fully-equipped kitchen.

The best thing about it is the neighborhood. You will be located in the center of the most interesting neighborhood, Montmartre, the spectacular hill with the Sacre Coeur church on top of it where Picasso, Braque and Maurice Utrillo lived, loved and painted. We are 2 blocks from the Amalie Poulain Café and 3 blocks from the Moulin Rouge, 4 blocks to the Sacre Coeur.

Discover this charming neighborhood full of steep, narrow streets, staircase streets, alleyways, quiet cafes, bohemians and artists. It is a breath of fresh air, far above the bustle of the large avenues, yet close to all the major attractions in this vital city.

The apartment is available for rent on a weekly basis at €650 a week.
Please contact fxfdubois@mac.com
or telephone (415) 678-0454

So I have a trip planned to New Zealand in January, and when I checked airfare a few weeks ago it would have been $1500 or so. This week the price quote is $2080. I know that prices fluxuate, and last year I purchased my ticket to Costa Rica at $200 higher than it was the next week. Does anyone know of a 'good time' to buy tickets, should I take the normal route of buying ASAP or wait a week or two more?

Bay Area to Peru for cheap?

Daniel — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 20:38:06 GMT

Hi, all--

Anyone have any secrets for tickets to Peru from any of the Bay Area's airports, including favorite local consolidators? I'm planning a last-minute trip for work in early October, and I don't have the kind of experience in South America that I have in other parts of the world, so I'm kind of guessing here.

I've tried Kayak, and it looks like my cheapest option, TACA, is still going to be close to $600 R/T at this point. Does that sound like about as good as I can do, or can I do better?

Gracias!

first of all.... did anyone ever tried air-hitch.org? i still havent got an answer about that.

second.... i am looking for a flight around january to israel from around LA - maybe utah.
i just looked to check what are the prices now and i have come up with 608$ dollars.
i dont need a return ticket and i have no problem with having lots of fractions on the way, if the cheapest way for example, is to go to boston or new-york and take another flight from there to israel.

WANTED: Travel Buddy

showna — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 16:00:20 GMT

I'm looking for a travel partner. Age, race, and sex do not matter. However, I'm on a budget and I do everything the cheapest way possible. I require that you join this online community called "Couchsurfing" (www.couchsurfing.com) it's free, and it basically puts you in touch with people willing to let you sleep on their couch instead of paying for a hotel room. I've used it twice and have had amazing experiences.

Where I'd like to go... I want to go to Vancouver. Or Mexico some where. In the long haul, I want to spend a couple MONTHS over in Europe and eventually travel to Australia. I'm pretty open to suggestions though. I have a passport. I'm free to go whenever after Oct 28th of this year., I'm actually volunteering in Yellowstone National Park until then. If I don't get any reposnes from this, I'll be flying to New York at the 28th, just for a heads-up.

About me... you can look at my profile, or at a glance, I'm female, 22, and I'm a photographer. I used to be a bar-tender so I'd consider myself pretty easy to get along with. All of my friends are guys, although I get along well with women, I guess I just relate more to laid-back people(I've found that many women are drama-ridden).

I'm getting sick of typing. So if you're at all interested, let's chat.

I am completely flexible with dates and have slept much worse places than airports, but I just don't really know how to go about getting standby tickets. Will it actually be cheaper than booking in advance? Can I request a general time frame for a standby ticket? Any info would be wonderful. Thanks!

Los Angeles to Europe

verbamour — Mon, 17 Jan 2005 19:44:30 GMT

Hi all,

I would like to do a three week Europe trip, hopefully hitting London, Paris, Prague, Amsterdam, and Dublin. I plan to travel in late April/early May. I would like to be in Paris for May 1, but that is not a requirement.

Since I have some flexibility here, I would like to aim for the cheapest rates and least crowds (wouldn't everybody). So here are my questions:

1) What European city has the lowest airfare from LAX? I would like to use London or Paris, how much more for them?

2) What days of the week allow for the lowest airfares?

3) Are there any fare changes in the month of May? For example, should I try to get back earlier in the month?

4) How do I find out where I can go with a rail pass?

5) How do I price the side trips, like London-Dublin?

6) How do I price and reserve lodging?

Thank you very much in advance for your helpful hints.

Cheers,
-tom

Easy Way to Make a few bucks for your next flight

titaniumdreads — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 18:56:20 GMT

Hey I was just reading through the Financing your Travels thread over on the Practical Nomads Tribe (here if you haven't seen it)

http://practicalnomad.tribe.net/thread/7ba4318d-a30c-46df-84e6-a658ec1e32eb

and have a quick idea for people who want to make some easy money.

So I just started working at Google in the user interface department (I'm actually saving for a trek from Chile to Argentina in January, ping me if you have any suggestions!). My job is basically to look at how people interact with new products to figure out what we should change/tweak/dump. Right now my department is having a big problem, Google is making awesome new toys so fast that we can't find enough people to test them out. In fact, we're having so much trouble that we just bumped up pay rates for beta testers which now range from $250-$75 an hour (granted it's usually 75-100). Beta Testers typically visit an office in Silicon Valley, Seattle Area, Santa Monica, or NYC but I think there are also offices in london, beijing and hyderabad that do some testing.

Here's the cool thing, we also do tests that are ONLINE so you can sign up from anywhere, perfect for the practical nomad or somebody who wants to have some extra cash for the round trip flight :) I'm pretty sure that the range for online tests is a little bit lower, $40-$200 per study but I've traveled in Asia, India, Africa, Europe, and South America and I know that even $40 extra dollars is enough to keep people from going back to the cube/suit/whatever for at least a few days.

Here's how it works, follow the link, sign up and someone from google will contact you if you fit the criteria for a study.

https://survey.google.com/wix/p0822776.aspx?referral_code=TR2

and I'm not trying to spam this forum, I've been a strong member of tribe since 04 and I love the community here. This is definitely an insider opportunity and I'd be happy to know that it went to someone experiencing the kind of international adventures we all live for :)

also, if you meet somebody who needs cash you can just tell them to go to

google.com/usability

(easy to remember!) and ask them to mention that they heard about it from tribe (there's a little box in the survey). You're also welcome to email this to lists or post in other forums if it's relevant or you think people would be into the idea. I created a referral code (TR2) but it doesn't really matter as long as you mention tribe.

So that's the deal, if you have any questions you can message me. In general we're looking for people over 18 who aren't programmers or ui designers.

Cheers and Safe Travels!

One way ticket to China

Kevin — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 23:17:07 GMT

Hi
I read the question regarding the one way ticket to Bangkok. I have the same question except to China. I am going there to teach English. So I have an "F" visa as oppossed to a tourist visa. Would I be able to buy a one way ticket with that type of visa. I have not been able to get a hold of anyone at the China consulate in Chicago. Does anyone know if I would be able to buy a one way ticket with a "F" visa? Also my situation is the same as Melody. Once I am finished teaching. I am not sure when I will be returning, plus it was too expensive to buy a round trip ticket.

Thanks

One way ticket to Bangkok

melody — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 04:30:56 GMT

I am flying from SF to Bangkok around the beginning of December. Since I plan on traveling to other countries and being gone at least 9 months I want to buy a one-way ticket. I know some countries require an onward ticket but I'm not to sure about Thailand. I really don't want to buy a return ticket since it is unlikely I will be flying back from Thailand. Any ideas out there? Also any recommendations on cheap airfare ideas would be appreciated. Most of the one ways I've seen are around 900$ so that is a bit pricey. Does anyone have any experience with open ended return tickets? Thanks, Melody

India: Is the season to blame?

Daniel — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 00:52:31 GMT

Hey, all,

I just happened to try a Kayak search for tickets from the Bay Area to India leaving in late January '08 and returning a few weeks later, and I was surprised to find nothing for less than around $1400, which seems fairly steep. I've never flown to India from the States before, so I guess I don't know what to expect.

Is this just a typical high season price? Am I likely to find anything cheaper if I adjust by a few weeks? Any other advice?

I'm inclined to wait a few months and start checking with bucket shops.

Good fare to London/ passport updates

Jeannie — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 05:19:22 GMT

I'm new to this...

Any tips for the best air fare from western US to London??

I'm in Reno but could easily travel to San Francisco or even to San Diego
(where i have friends to visit anyway) If I could get a better fare from a larger hub.

Is travel from one airport cheaper than some of the others? and any Airline recommendations?
Also timing.... I assume summer is the highest fare time....any month that's the lowest?

I'm reluctant to book until I have my passport in hand anyway.

(I applied early April) and the web site indicates 10-12 weeks but from what I hear it's longer..
Been 14 weeks now for me....but they tell me...soon.....

Thanks.

New air travel Passport rules

Joel — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 00:26:16 GMT

Does anyone know if the new passport rules on air travel between Canada and the USA are really in effect? I want to fly from Vancouver to SFO in Feb and don't have a passport. I copied the official rule from the State Dept web site below.

Under the/ /Western Hemisphere/ /Travel Initiative (WHTI)

The proposed implementation timeline has two phases:

* Beginning *January 23, 2007*, ALL persons, including U.S.
citizens, traveling by *air* between the United States and Canada,
Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda will
be required to present a valid passport, Air NEXUS card, or U.S.
Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Document, or an Alien Registration
Card, Form I-551, if applicable.
* As early as *January 1, 2008*, ALL persons, including U.S.
citizens, traveling between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, Central
and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda by *land* or *sea*
(including ferries), may be required to present a valid passport
or other documents as determined by the Department of Homeland
Security. While recent legislative changes permit a later
deadline, the Departments of State and Homeland Security are
working to meet all requirements as soon as possible. Ample
advance notice will be provided to enable the public to obtain
passports or passport cards for land/sea entries.

cheaper to buy in advance or along the way?

missadventure — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 19:50:18 GMT

Hi all. I am planning a very long overland trip from China to Egypt. I will have to fly from Pakistan to Turkey to avoid Iran since getting a visa or paying for a guide (200$ per day) is too expensive.

I'll be cycling part of the way, so it would be nice to buy my ticket when I arrive in Islamabad. If it isn't much more expensive, that is.

Does anyone know if this is a bad idea? Or should I get the flight in advance, which pressures my itenerary.

Thanks!

mella — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 18:07:55 GMT

Iceland Air has amazing last-minute deals every so often (round-trip from JFK to Reykjavik for under $400! wtf?), but sadly they only fly out of the east coast of the US. Which means to take advantage I'd have to find my way cheaply from the San Francisco bay area to Boston or JFK, which ends up costing as much as the flight to Iceland itself. Any suggestions for finding very cheap east-west cross-US flights so I can continue on to Iceland?

(I've looked at southwest & jetblue so far, both in the $300-400 range.)

travel in mexico? know the beautiful places?

killdependence — Mon, 06 Nov 2006 17:56:09 GMT

Hi, first i'd like to say that this has to do more with the destination rather than how im getting there. I have some airline credit thats already paid for, i'm just having trouble deciding the most ideal place to go.
I'm thinking Mexico or Guatemala.
I'm a 20 year old hip, animal loving student that has traveled internationally with parents, but never alone, as i will, in January, right after Christmas.
Dates, times, locations are flexible.
I'd like to go somewhere that i can sleep outside and is relatively safe. THat i can eat from the trees, lounge on coasts, bathe in the oceans, see ruins and archaeological sites, and not spend very much money having the greatest time of my life. There are places like this, im almost posative. It;s a rather simple goal to achieve i think and feel.
So, What i am asking you is, Based on these things, Have you gone somewhere that offers such marvels?
I checked out Cabo San LUcas and it looked beautiful, very resorty, but beautiful.
TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING IS WELCOME!! THANK YOU SO MUCH BEAUTIFUL ADVENTURERS!! and blessed be.

Hey, all...

I just booked a supercheap ticket between BKK and PNH on the Southwest Airlines of Malaysia, Air Asia. Couldn't be happier with the price, and the schedule works very well for us, too, so all is well. EXCEPT: They've got my first name where my last name should be on the ticket! (I'm listed as Mr. Lastname Daniel rather than Mr. Daniel Lastname). I was pretty sure I didn't fill the form out wrong, but I guess must have done.

So what do you think -- do I need to call/email the airline, or shall I just take my chances at Suvarnabhumi Intl?
