THIS
IS JUST A GUIDLINE! |
Dates
may vary by a few days depending on the carrier and the routing.Try
to leave during the cheapest season because the OUTBOUND season
usually determines the entire cost of the ticket. In the event
you leave during LOW and return during HIGH, most round-trip
tickets cost only the LOW season price. |
DAY
OF THE WEEK: Airlines usually, but not always, surcharge between
$25-40 (each way) for flights on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Avoid weekends and save. Again, rules vary depending on carrier.

CHOOSE
THE RIGHT DEPARTURE CITY: Although we might have fares from
your home town, you should always compare them with the fares
from your closest major city. In these cities (New York, Atlanta,
Los Angeles etc.) competition among the airlines is higher
and therefore fares lower. PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU DON'T SEE A
SPECIFIC CITY LISTED, IT IS BECAUSE WE CURRENTLY DON'T OFFER
DISCOUNT FARES TO/FROM THERE. |
|
OPEN JAW: Fares can sometimes be combined. Let's say you want
to go from New York to Stockholm and your return is from Istanbul
to Los Angeles. In this case you add the two roundtrips on
the same airline (New York-Stockholm-New York on Airline #1
and Los Angeles-Istanbul-Los Angeles on Airline #1) and divide
them by 2. That is your fare. However, not all cities can
be combined. |
"YOUTH"
FARES: We often have special fares for travelers aged 18-25
who are booked on our escorted tours or city stay programs.
They are usually, but not always, lower. It depends on season,
routing, day of the week, and airline. |
BOOK
EARLY!: Fares quoted are subject to airline availability,
which changes frequently. Each fare is restricted to a maximum
number of seats and, once sold, no waitlisting is permitted.
