I personally buy them from Travelocity.com because as an elite member I get special privileges. But are there any cheaper ways to buy international tickets?

I bought my first tickets on the internet through the airline.

Online, usually from the airline's website, Orbitz, or Expedia. 100% percent of the time, except when making an award reservation.

I use the three major travel sites (Travelocity, Expedia, Orbitz) and a few smaller ones (like the booking engine here on A.net) to get a feel for the prices and then go to the airlines' site (Since I live in Atlanta, I check on Delta.com and AirTran.com and see how they compare with the travel sites. For my upcoming trip to LAS, I ended up booking all of my stuff (flight, hotel, and rental car) from various sites, as I could put together a cheaper package deal myself and not have to pay the travel sites like Expedia to deliver paper tickets to me (I prefer e-ticketing, and I always print out everything J.I.C.). I booked my flight via AirTran.com (same price as Expedia), my hotel room via Tripreservations.com (cheaper than any of the big travel sites), and my rental car through Dollar.com (same price as Expedia, Orbitz, and Travelocity). I came close to booking on American because they had a really great deal to LAS via DFW, but I really did not want to connect (if I wanted to connect, I would have flown Frontier or America West [or United, but I didn't want to fly ATL-DEN on a CRJ-700]). It pays to shop around and sign up for an airlines' ticket sale e-mails.

It depends, sometimes:

  • directly at the airline's website

  • at online travel agents like Expedia.de or Opodo.de

  • in our employee travel office

  • at my travel agency (two days ago I booked a flight at a travel agency)

  • at airline's call centers
