dddave Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I always had very good luck with IDEAL TRAVEL: 581 Boylston St, Suite 702 Boston (617) 247-9898 They are an Asian travel service and always got me the lowest fares, never failing to beat the internet. I last used them three years ago (haven't been back to Beantown in that time) and dealt with both William Du and Sandra Mei; I have no idea if they are still employed there. They are on the 7th floor of a small, older office building directly across from Copley Sq. pahk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiamIAm Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Thanks Dave, I talke to Mei there and was quoted 1250.00 round trip...I may just have to bit the bullet on this and pay the extra...It sucks because just a month ago I could have gone non-stop via Thai ariways from NY for that price.

matta330 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Remember that there are new fuel surcharges in place - those alone could add close to $300! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiamIAm Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Guess that means just fewer barfines for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I just priced a ticket for travel next month: BKK <> ORD (Chicago)... Ranged from 84,000 baht to 64,000...about (@ 33.4) $2515 to $1916 but that was all the way on United, which is not the cheapest but this is double from what I paid last year.

SiamIAm Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 2K for a ticket? That seems a bit exsesive...Why did you use United? generaly speaking, I've always found that Northwest or China air are the cheapest out of north America... I've dugg up an old digital organizer last night that has my old agents PH# for First National Travle...I'll give them a call and see what they can come up with for a price and post the info should it be reasonable... Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unit731 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 http://www.localsearch.com/insp.bylocation/local/byloc/MA/Boston/Travel/Travel_Agencies Last trip I found 7 travel agents in the Boston area that specialized in SE Asia. We have been dealing with one travel agent in NYC for decades. She is not the cheapest but will match any legit price we find. Last two trips was Thai Airways direct from JFK. But gone now. Probably go back to Korean as they used to be the least expensive for us. But have used other airlines with stop overs in Narita, Hong Kong, and Seoul.

I assuming that you want to stay with * Alliance. They have flights next month for $1546. Never tried their economy class but biz is much better than the UAL product.
