the essence of this thread is to know the best way to get the cheapest ticket for a particular destination. but to achieve this you have to provide travel date to make it more effective

we all know Egypt air and Royal air maroc are few of the budget international airlines we have flying in and out of our travel airspace

but like i always do before you go ahead to make a payment for that Egypt air ticket always lookout if Royal air maroc have same fare or do that particular route.

for example for some US route both do, i would advice you fly Royal air maroc rather than Egypt for this reasons but not limited to them

1) most times have short layover time at their Hubs

2) if you certainly want to be in a city like new york same day you leave Nigeria, you go for Royal air maroc

3) better flights attendants ( both have average inflight service ), but i believe flying them you have made up your mind to sacrifice comfort for cost

4) are more customer friendly to Nigerias at their hubs : Royal air maroc ( casablanca ), Egypt air ( cairo )

5) most times have shorter layover time compared to Egypt air, this is for people that suffers Jet lag


the downside flying air maroc to Egypt air is their time of departure, they depart around 7 am, and most of their cheap long route fares aint refundable, so you have to be double sure you want to fly them before you go ahead to inform your agent to buy that ticket for you

talking about travel agents, we have got to read lots of negative stories about using Travel agents and doing it yourself, but the truth in reality is if you intend travelling for example from point A to point B and you already have a prefered airline and you dont have the intention of playing around with your ticket during the cause of your trip i would advice you buy direct from the airlines direct.

but if you are a frequent traveller, you would know most times airlines dont always publish those 2 to 3 to 4 connections we always want to do to maximize our travel and cost so therefore we most times dont have a choice but to use a travel agent

before i continue i would want to make somethings clear, do not purchase your tickets from Online Travel Agents ( OTA ). A few examples are www.kiwi.com, www.expedia.com, www.skyscanner.com. this online most times combine 2 different airlines that dont partner in real life and give to you as a single ticket, and you get into trouble at transits or stopovers.

- many of us would have experienced a case wwhere we are stuck due to a mistake on our part on out tickets and would want the airline office at the airport to affect the change. most times airline officials direct you back to the tickets issuing agency. there is a clear understanding between airlines and recognised travel agents.

- and yes many a time travel agents might have fares that seems far cheaper than the fares displayed by airlines, this is part of the strategic business relationship between airlines and travel agencies.

- then only travelers that enjoy direct cheap fares are actually those traveling for tourism or very short visit, if you have intention of extending your tickets always be sure from your travel agents that he is getting you a one year ticket for that period of travel

if your agent gets you a 2 weeks promotional ticket dead cheap and you have the intention of extending it lets say for 3 months, you pay more compared to a client that paid for a 2 weeks fare valid for one year that wants it extended for 3 month. ( would give illustration to buttress my point later )

If you are on a student visa, and your study duration is 2 years and above

You are safe to buy a one way ticket, but always advice your travel agents to insure that the airline would lift you

Normally you should be able to go with one way but sometimes airlines tweaks grin, their policies too

Could you pls expatiate more?



Thank you

turkish air.

turkish air to anywhere in australia has a layover at istanbul for 20 hours

but for this fare i would book you first to perth with turkish air

then from perth to darwin with qantas air.

you would get to Darwin on the 16th

this is far cheaper than other airlines above 650000 sir

some airlines have their own policy in lifting one way passengers, so asides having a student visa or study permit you have to be sure it qualifies you to fly one way. unfortunately even airline offices most times might not be able to give you an answer before your flight. but if you are buying from an agent make sure the agent tells you that you could fly one way, or you give me the itinary and type of visa with your study duration and i confirm for you
