krishcbe Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hello, I am in US and my parents have received visa for travel. What is the most reliable way of getting tickets for my parents to travel to USA (agent/travel website/airline website)? I want to make sure that the tickets are not such that they will have an overnight stay in any airport. My parents are not familiar with air travel and I want to make it easier for them. The challenge here is that I am booking tickets for them, but I am in US and the travel originates in India. Thanks in advance! Link to comment
omshiv Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 I always book it myself Online thru the Airlines website. Its easier and convenient and you can choose your own Itinerary. You can book it a Round trip from India to US Ticket..no issues in you being here in the US. Enjoy time with your parents. Link to comment
rahul412 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 That's not a big. You will review the itinerary before you buy it so, it doesn't matter from were you get the tickets. But if you approach the agent, be-careful with them Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Make sure to check if they can get it cheaper buying from there. Link to comment
chakrakr Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Check itinerary and price using travel sites like Make my trip or Orbit etc. Then ask them to check with a local agent regarding price Link to comment
CCR Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 yes..you can book tkts for them from the US.these are commonly used... travelocity, kayak, expedia, orbitz, priceline and the airline's websites themselves. Link to comment
Jyothis Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Always compare same itineraries in different sites including airline's own. SME times, airlines would mandate that the card holder should be in the itinerary. In that case, travel sites listed above would be your choice. Link to comment
SVh1b Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 It is more comfortable booking the tickets online. If your planning your trip in winter, consider avoiding connecting flights through Europe as there is high probability of delaying or Cancelling flights. Prefer Emirates, Ethihad, Quatar etc., Link to comment
