Cost of world travel...

[Not Afraid]

The other thing about international airfare is that it changes so rapidly. The differences can be immense. The more common your destination, the more options you will have and the more deals you are likely to find. For those destinations, check the travel sites. I usually use Orbitz, but I've used them all at one point or another.

Another way to check out flights is to find out what airlines fly into your destination city then look at booking through these airlines web sites. On the West Coast, LAX or SFO have most major airlines flying into these locations.
