Why is airfare from the US to Australia so expensive?
John J asked:
I’m planning to travel to Australia over Christmas and New Year and the cheapest airfare I can find is $2600. I realize it’s peak season for traveling but 2 years ago I was able to fly to the Philippines at Christmas for only $2000.

Choosing the Best Hawaii Vacation Package
Deciding on which Hawaii vacation package to purchase really depends on what your trip is going to consist of when you go. Decisions like this can be quite overwhelming due to the fact that Hawaii is one of the biggest dream vacations of many couples and families around the United States. This means it will most likely be a one time experience for the majority, so trying to make it a perfect memory is on the minds of almost everyone. Include the fact that it can be quite expensive, and it makes finding a package deal very important.
When purchasing a Hawaii vacation package it is a given that this is going to include the accommodations and airfare, but after that everything else is up in the air. This is where finding out what everyone wants to do on the vacation comes into play. While you’re there do you want to scuba dive, snorkel, take a tour, eat out three times a day, go shopping, and learn to surf or anything else that will make it more enjoyable? Maybe even something you cannot do in many over places, like taking a para-sailing lesson? If so then finding this within the package will also help you financially.
While we can’t give specific costs because everyone has their own unique things that want to be included in the trip, we can tell you that many of the hotels and resorts will give you additional discounts on excursions and other events if you stay with them on the island. One place may offer a free scuba diving adventure or a discounted tour to see the volcanoes. Others may throw in helicopter rides, kayak fishing, or other exciting experiences that are just what you want to spend money on and they can give it to you for less.
This is exactly why it is important to know what you want to do before going because getting the most out of a Hawaii vacation package is the main goal here. However, when gaining in one area of the vacation you may be giving away in others spots. Even though your deal may include your airfare, hotel, and a couple things on the island, paying full price for other things may not really help the overall cost of the vacation. This means it may come down to choosing to do one thing and giving up the other. If this happens and money is an issue, maybe its best to go with the package that is going to save more money instead of what all is included.
It is all food for thought, but it can only help you in your quest to finding the ultimate Hawaii vacation package. If there is anything you want to take from this article, the importance of the best airfare, cost of resort or hotel, and car rental are the big three that should always be included. The rest should be considered as bonuses so if you get them great, but if they are sacrificed for the stay, air, and car then maybe they aren’t that important. In the end it is your decision, but we hope this helps point you in the right direction into finding the best vacation package for your trip to Hawaii.

Know a website that searches multiple cities at a time for airfares?
I’m planning a trip to Europe in the spring of 2009. Is there a website that searches airfares from, i.e. New York to London, New York to Paris, New York to Frankfurt, New York to Amsterdam, etc. at the same time and lets you compare flights? It might be wishful thinking, but it would save people a lot of time! Thanks!
http://www.skyscanner.net is a good site – you can choose “anywhere” in the header as the destination, and then choose multiple destinations in the second screen.
It looks at multiple airlines and compares prices over dates e.g. for one month.
This is one of the best I have used, and see it recommended in this section a lot.
Good luck

Go to www.expedia.com
They have very good vacation package deals. Some hotels even have breakfast included with the package. That always helps. We go to the Pacific Beach Hotel. Right across the street from Waikiki Beach. Very good buffet breakfast in the Oceanarium Tower.

How much would it cost to tour England and Germany for a summer?
I’m planning a trip in 2009 with some friends. I’d like to know if anyone knows how much it would cost to tour both countries.
5 of us total, plus the airfare.
Thanks.
At this moment you can travel as tourist for ‘as little as $100′ a day per person, or spend anything up from there, but getting round cheaper is going to be hard work.
Spending more than $300 a day per person should not be needed, as prices are now.
If you share a old twentieth hand car between 5, do just short distance driving (petrol costs are high) and camp out in the wild where possible, in the cheapest campsites most places, you might get by with less than $20 a day, but not have a lot of fun and you will not have money to do any touristy things nor get any food but pasta and no drinks but water. Add your flights to that.
Try to safe enough money that you have $300 a day, and you will most likely have enough to go partying, or do outdoor-sports, go to musical events or whatever you fancy.
Look into getting a railcard for either country, or rent a minibus, (6 or 9 seater) in each and use a cheap airline in between (ferries cost a lot more, specially if you have to pay for a rented car too.)
Airfare from the USA to Europe can be cheap, if you buy at the right time, but try to safe up for a standard fare, so you will not be caught out by have to little money.

for $1000, get yourself a picnic basket & hitched a ride to dover, & hopefully you don’t have to walk back, you’ve lived in london & know how costly it is, for that amount, you could probably last 2-3 weeks in indonesia, philippines, or maybe thailand, good luck with your honeymoon

Airfare Questions:
What is the easiest way to get cheaper airfares? ?
Just called united and asked for Military Rate and it was $200 more then normal fares.
I would highly recommend both hotwire and priceline, with cheaptickets comping in a close third. I’ve searched around for airfare quite a bit, and these three sites usually ring true as the cheapest. Other than that, I’d go to sites like igougo.com, travelzoo.com, or bookingbuddy.com. These sites offer searches of multiple online airfare websites, making it easier and less time consuming to compare prices. As for when to buy, I usually go to farecast.com. They pretty accurately predict when a good time to buy a flight would be based off of past and current trends, etc. It’s pretty useful. Another site I’ve found handy is rightflight.org. They did a bunch of research on the various airfare sites to see which sites are usually the cheapest. They also have a list of most of the airfare sites on their webpage, which can be pretty handy in and of itself. Hope this helped!
