The next item on my to-do list after getting my visa is buying tickets.
So.
My first step is to figure out what airlines exist and where to look for flights and prices.
The second step is to understand the booking system.
The third step is to find the most advantageous options.
The fourth step is to choose the option I need.
The fifth step is the purchase.
Although, between the fourth and fifth steps, an unexpected sub-item popped up for me - booking. ))))))
Today I booked my tickets.
I will try to pay for them this week. And when I buy them, I will write down the exact dates and schedule of my flights))))))))))))))
Now, in order.
- There are special sites created for "monitoring" tickets and ticket prices.
After all, the price of tickets depends on the date, the day of the week, the class, the aircraft, the number of layovers, the type of airline, airport taxes, and so on.
I used several sites:
http://www.skyscanner.ru/
http://en.momondo.com/
http://www.anywayanyday.com/
2. There are official airline websites, for example, delta.com, kml.com, and so on. Often, sites have special offers, discounts, etc. To be honest, I didn't even try to figure those sites out)))))))))))))))))))
3. There are agencies that specialize in selling airline tickets) There are sooooo many of them! It's enough to go to Google, enter the required flight, and there will be a bunch of links to sites offering that flight.
4. There is the IEC, as well as other youth agencies that sell tickets at youth prices.
5. And, of course, there are also agencies in the newsletter that the IEC recommends.
I don't want to advertise, but I stumbled upon the youth travel center's website, entered several departure options and dates (Minsk-New York, Moscow-New York, Kiev-New York), "played with the dates by +-5 days," and the option I found was to my liking) So the next day I went and booked the tickets I needed, since I couldn't get through by phone.
Among the popular sites (according to the forum) that students use to search for means of transport, I can highlight:
http://www.expedia.com http://www.kayak.com http://www.cheaptickets.com http://www.trevelocity.com http://www.vayama.com
And for searching for "planes" within the country:
http://www.airtran.com http://www.allegiantair.com http://www.frontierairlines.com http://www.horizonair.com http://www.jetblue.com http://www.southwest.com http://www.spiritair.com http://www.suncountry.com http://www.virginamerica.com http://www.usa3000.com
P.S. I'm just trying to fit as much useful information as possible from 20-30 pages of the forum into this page)))))))
