Hi all,

I am going to India in October and will be travelling overland to Ireland. I only have aone way ticket and will not have very much money. The problem I am facing is getting out of India, preferrably overland, cheaply. From what I have read it is difficult at the moment to get a visa to Pakistan (also due to the time of year I can not take the Karakoram Highway into China, so that leaves me with Quetta to Iran). Also, I am not sure if Pakistan would be teh safest option at the moment…

basically, my goal is to get to Paris or London from Beirut, Lebanon with the least money spent and the quickest time. visas can be managed (just need a Schengen visa or a working/student type of visa) but mainly i want to go there to continue my education away from home. that will also be managed so its not really a problem. but the real issue is that I'm still a student and my means are really limited for various reasons. so probably train trips or buses or anything would be fine but i need…

Hi,

I always read articles which says last week, a certain date till certain date a particular airline was offering flights from - to for xx amount. But this is already passed.
Is there a site where it lists you all airlines current and future promotions.? from where to where and when you need to book by and the travel dates all listed?

Im one who likes to just head off and go so if there is such a site it would be great.

Thanks

My sister and I want to travel from Australia to LA and NY in Septmeber. We want to stay in LA for 10 days and NY for 4 days. If we have enough money we would also like to spend a couple of days in Florida.

I would just like some advice on the best way to book flights and hotels and in what order. I'm a bit nervous because I've never travelled overseas and organised this before. Do I book my flights first or the hotels? What sites should I use to get a bargain hotel in NY? What is the most…

Hi guys!

I'm going with my boyfriend to meet my father in France at Christmas for a week (19th to 26th or so...). But then, we have another week off, on a limited budget, and are trying to figure out where to spend it. Italy, France, Germany, Ireland, UK, Spain and Portugal are definitely not places we wanna go again as both have already been there. We both love outdoors, and little quaint places, and not big cities.

The first idea was Iceland, but wondering how tolerable is the cold there in…

Does anyone have any suggestions for somewhere (outside of Europe) for a cheap getaway for 2/3 weeks? Basically after somewhere hot, with nice beaches, good food and not too touristy.

I managed to do Indonesia fairly cheaply for a month last year and totally fell in love, so if all else fails I could head back there, but it would be nice to go somewhere new...
I know that probably South East Asia would be a good bet, but I'm currently saving up do a longer trip over there next year.. so if I…

We're in Australia and plan to book some escorted tours in Canada through an online tour agency in the US as it seems to be the cheapest way to get the best deals. Can someone give us an idea of any pitfalls in this theory. We're concerned that we may not be able to do this for some reason or we could end up losing our money. The company is AffordableTours.com and they seem to be reputable, the tours are with Globus and Cosmos and they both seem reputable too. Does planning a visit to one…

I'm a real Africa addict and I have traveled a bit throughout East and Southern Africa. I just spent 2 weeks at Zanzibar and I love the atmosphere there. This summer I would like to go somewhere else, maybe Malawi or Mozambique although I'm kind of open to everything.
What I'm looking for is chilled out places where there is not too much tourists and where you can stay in bandas at a nice beach. I'm not a big fan of fancy resort style hotels.
Does anyone have any good suggestions?? Also,how is…
