I need to know a good site for really cheap tickets?

either on a plane or train or bus or something i need to go from oregon to new york anyone have any suggestions plase reply






Answer :
You have to shop around, because sometimes, the different sites have different options. Expedia and Travelocity are ones I've used. There's also Priceline which you can sometimes get much lower prices on, but it doesn't always come through, and you have to commit to the price you are suggesting. Expect to find 15% discounts over the other sites when you use Priceline, but it's always a gamble. There's also Orbitz, but I've never used them - I think it's like Expedia / Travelocity.

Once you check Expedia and Travelocity, go to the sites of the airlines they've suggested and see if they have any special deals for the dates you're flying. Also, hopefully you're flying out of PDX and not Medford or Corvallis, because that limits your options. If at all possible, don't have a layover in San Francisco- people get bumped from their connecting flights all the time because the airport always overbooks flights and the planes can't land for 30-60 minutes, making everyone late for their next flight (and they don't reimburse you if you get stuck overnight - they always claim it's weather-related).

How to get from Cairo to Damascus overland?

So, I just found out it will cost around 750 USD for my husband and I to fly to Damascus from Cairo. And open ended tickets (like stopping in Jordan or Lebanon) will be even more. We really don't want to pay that.
Does anyone know how long it would take to get there by train (and ferry)?
And about how much the whole trip will cost in tickets? Trains here in Egypt are super cheap, but I don't really know about the transportation in Jordan and Syria. I know the ferry from Nuweiba to Aqaba will cost 50 dollars (also, does it really Have to be paid in dollars??), but I don't really know how much all the rest will cost.
We were thinking of maybe spending around 3-4 days getting there (stopping in Jordan for a day or so), but how fast could a person theoretically do the trip?
Any advice would be awesome. Thanks!






Answer :

Go to the Egypt Air site and the Syrian Air site and you will find that you can book direct for about $220 ($440 for 2).

These are the only direct flights.

Answer :
via ferry to Jordan (by car)
or cheaper economy airlines , OTHER than mentioned already , are Airarabia and Aljazeera Airways from Assiut airport , but they are not direct , they stop in Sharjah & Kuwait (transit/change planes).

Airarabia is $469 for round trip flights G9616 & G9315 website http://www.airarabia.com/home
for Jazeera Airways check their website http://www.jazeeraairways.com/Schedule.a…

price not including meals or extra luggage






Answer :
You can book cheap flights on Jazeera Airways http://www.jazeeraairways.com/ , but it only stops in Alexandria airport, not Cairo, but there is no direct flight from Alexandria to Damascus, so you'll have to do Alex-Kuwait, Kuwait-Damascus, but it's still very cheap. Try.

Are any smart tickets available for Paris to Venice overnight train on 10/5.2010?

Are any smart tickets available for Paris to Venice overnight train on 10/5.2010?





Answer :
I presume you mean May 10, 2010 as October is too far away (you can only make train reservations within 90 days of the current date).

You can make reservations on the SNCF (French Rail) website at http://www.tgv-europe.com - if you do go there, under "Other countries" select "English". When you search for a rail trip, it will insist that you enter the country that you are currently from. Do NOT enter USA as it will refer you to the Rail Europe website, which is more expensive. Instead, select either "Canada" or "Great Britain", something like that, as these will allow you to book online. If you do make an online reservation, you can pick up your tickets at any major train station by going to a ticket window.

When using the website, I recommend that you click on the "More criteria" for the route search, and select "direct trains", so you will not be getting a stopover in Milan or something like that.

Now unfortunately, I am not sure what you mean by "smart tickets", so instead I will tell you what they are currently offering for that night train from Paris Bercy to Venice Santa Lucia. Currently, they are offering a bunk in a couchette for €97 (about $133 US at today's rates). Now this is the full price for someone who does not have a rail pass.

Answer :
According to the Trenitalia site - there are no available Smart fare tickets on either the 9th or 10th, but there are on the 8th in a cuchette with 6 berths - the cuchette with 4 berths are sold out for the 8th. http://www.ferroviedellostato.it/homepag…

To see availability, you select the train you want and then hit the continue button. On the fares and preferences page, you select the Smart Price from the select your fare pull down and the seats descriptions from the pull down near the bottom of the page. There will be a red or green circle and text to the right telling you whether the type of seats and fare you selected are available. You might want to check again over the next couple of days in case the smart fares have not gone on sale yet for that date.
