Booking An International Flight is a Tough Game

Have you ever try booking your international flight by yourself and that too on instant just 1 week before? I got too much confused while trying to book my tickets. There are too many options available but with multiple stops and long layovers. I don't understand if the distance can be covered in 7 hours then why they give options of 27 hours and more. If you got a suitable flight then also you'll find very different prices on different websites and the price even fluctuate in a few hour intervals. If you are thinking the price will increase as time passes but it is not correct all the time. After a long search, I finally book my ticket to India. But the booking was a tiring job. Thats all about my day.How about you?

I have never booked any International flights. But from the domestic booking expwrience what all I can say is that the direct flights they may charge more but will take less time. In case of indirect flights though the fares may be low the time taken is too much! So we must have some agent to guide us if we are booking for the first time or an advise from a friend would be the best thing to have!

You are correct. So.e time taking a friend's opinion is useful. This time I took two of my friends help to finalize the booking.

I have booked international fights many times. Yes, sometimes it looks confusing but you figured out it.

Yes If you book well in advance it is better. But if days are near then it's a struggle.

I got scam by online agent two times but now I decided no matter the long process I will book it myself.

If you can plan your trip well in advance then it is better to book by yourself. I usually book it by my own.
