I am going to be an exchange student in France (in BKK now) during this upcoming Fall semester, so now I'm looking for airline tickets.

I've checked with a few travel agency and so many of the flights are already fully booked (around the end of August). Anyways, I just want opinions about Gulf Air, Kuwait Airline, and Emirates Airline. Are these airlines decent (safety or any other aspects)?

Also, can anyone suggest any good websites for buying airline tickets (cheap ones!)?

your comments would be appreciated!

Hi ,

I did fly with Gulf and Emirates before . Both of them very good . Prices from Emirates was very good and i have a preference for them . Honestly , Emirates is one of the best Airlines i was ever flying with...

hope that helps,

I have used the follow method a few times, and it works okay

if you have the time and need the best possible price:

- search on travelocity.com, orbitz.com or kayak.com (do this a

few times on different days, the prices fluctuate a lot)

- go to the website of whatever airlines have the cheapest flights,

and see if their site gives you a better price

- get a copy of the Bangkok Post, turn to the classified section

under travel, spend an hour or so calling travel agents that

advertise there. Most of them will want to check online and

call you back. (I've found that about half the travel agents want

way more than travelocity, but the occassional travel agent will

get you a great price)

hope this helps

Dont know about cheap but.......give you an idea.....

I have flied with Kuwait 3 times. Not so expensive and correct service. But in my case I had to wait ~5 hours in transit in Kuwait Airport, boring.

i tried searching on many different sites and the prices are alot more expensive than what travel agents offer...

anyways..

thanks everyone!

Honestly , Emirates is one of the best Airlines i was ever flying with...

Agree 100%!

It's Emirates every time for me now. I suppose some people like to fly non-stop but I like a journey in 2 parts and get some awesome duty-free shopping in Dubai airport.

Book online as well at Emirates.com - easy and painless!

Along with the fine suggestions from other forum members, you could try the Khoasan Rd website, yes they do have a dedicated site. There are several travel agencies advertising with them.

www.traveltech2000.com had good prices for tickets I bought recently. I was flying east instead of west but they had some good offers on their site so worth a look.
