Airline Ticket [Urgent]

heart_beat_1 · July 13, 2003, 1:47pm

I am planning to fly(next month) from the US to Pak to Germany and then back to the US from Germany. My stay in Pak is going to be for about 10 days and in Germany for a minimum of 4 months.

I have tried searching on the online sites but it wasn’t much help. Most of them don’t offer multiple destination trips (atleast online). I called one and they gave me an estimate of $4000. I know somebody who came back from a similar trip in $1300.

What do you guys suggest? If you know of any travel agent please let me know.

Thanx.

getting a flight to pak will be hard. its high season right now.

^ I heard that after July 26 it would be better. I really wouldn't want to take pak out of the circle cause' of the fare.

the problem comes from availability. tickets are most likely booked. if you want 1 ticket it wont be hard to find, but if your family is going along with you consider it impossible.

well it would just be me. my family is already in pak. they don't even know that i might be visiting them.

When travelling multiple international destinations, internet is not likely to give you good rates. Contact a travel agent, and do it the old-fashioned way.

There is your answer. Ask this guy, where he got his ticket from.

However, at this time, which is considered peak time, most of my friends have purchased just a simple round trip to Pakistan from San Francisco at $1,600 a piece. So $1,300 is definitely out, unless you want to postpone your trip until after the peak period ends in Aug-Sep.

Hey man contact your travel agent i just purchase tickets for my mother and bro for around 1190 $ each for next weak so its not hard to find tickets.

I know PIA ticket is running for around $ 1125 round trip for 4 months and gulf is $ 1190 for six month i am sure there will few more $ for staying in germany.

if you live in dallas area i can tell some pakistani travel agents..

hope that helps and waiting to hear from you.

And one more thing PIA high season ends on July 19..so you can find ticket on PIA..

$1,600???

That sounds very expensive! These are the times, when I’m glad that I live in Europe.

look up dollar saver travel in kansas city, Talk to Haider Ali there. he will hook you up.

Sheraz_CT · July 16, 2003, 1:24pm

hskhan what details? nyc to khi round trip for 880
but her friend also went with her..and they got the ticket from her friends relative..to samjhay kiya...but i found out that these agents will rip you off..so better check out few of them before buying it

heart_beat_1 · July 16, 2003, 4:11pm

^ I think mentioning the travel agent from whom your ami bought the ticket could be one of the details but I guess that might not work since it was her friend's relative.
