U.S to London

Pareezay · Sep 23rd, 2009, 01:18 PM

Anyone who has traveled from U.S to London, is there any good website or agency you booked your tickets through? Please share?

Thanks.

why do u want to go through an agency, get a ticket directly from BA or Virgin.
while I was in college I used to try STA and Council travel, they have good deals for students and for ppl under 27 I think.

^thanks!
i wasn't sure which was better.. booking it online or calling someone up. =/ btw, what's STA?

my advice is to go directly to the US Airlines and search there...u get best fares...be flexible and try all different airlines

or

simply search at:

Cheap Flights, Airline Tickets, Hotels, Travel Deals - Search 1000's of Travel Sites at KAYAK

Hashmat Usmani · Sep 23rd, 2009, 01:44 PM

I need some good fares going in the opposite direction..

Sidestep.com will search multiple websites at the same time---the airlines, expedia, orbitz, etc., and compare the prices for you. When you decide which one to buy sidestep will link to that company/airline's website for you so you can place the order. Why bother searching airlines one by one on your own when this website does it for you?

Good luck!

In the past my agent has found me really good rates on Indian Airlines. Go figure!

Tofi, have you seen the crowd that gets on those flights.
the benjamin you may save aint worth that 8 hours of sensory assault

Pareezay · Sep 28th, 2009, 12:23 PM

Do you need a visa these days to travel to London? Or is that something you can obtain at the airport?

TofiBaba · Sep 28th, 2009, 12:40 PM

Depends on ur citizenship. With a Pk passport u need a visa.

Hashmat Usmani · Sep 28th, 2009, 12:46 PM

Pareezay · Sep 28th, 2009, 12:51 PM

if still in doubt, call th British High Commission in Washington DC or the nearest Consulate. thank you

With a US or Canaydia passport u never needed an advance visa. Just like with a UK passport u can get the visa at the entry port.
