<p>DD has friends going to South America for a several month odyssey; she would like to join them for her spring break if she can find a cheap fare. They can be in almost any country, so she really has very open destination options.</p>
<p>Any one know a website to track cheap fares to SA? Like ‘Ding’ for international travels?</p>

<p>Kayak is very good. But sometimes there are consolidators who underprice even Kayak… look in the travel section of the sunday NY Times. I used to do this going back & forth to Eurpoe… usually they can give you a three day window of time within which they will get you there… You have to be a bit flexible and last-minute about it but it’s very cheap… wish I could remember some names of the companies…</p>
<p>I check ITA Software ([ITA</a> Software - Solving the Travel Industry’s Most Complex Problems](<a href=“http://www.itasoftware.com%5DITA”>http://www.itasoftware.com)). That’s one of many sites (Sabre, Amadeus) that travel agents use. Many travel agents will give you a 5-10% discount on the one quoted in ITA.</p>
<p>Otherwise check the airlines directly. But beware of the:</p>
<p>New York to London for $250*!!!</p>
<p>*One way based on round trip purchase. Does not include taxes, fees and surcharges. For international fares, a surcharge of $200 each way will apply. </p>
<p>Virgin Atlantic is NOTORIOUS for doing this-so the $250 advertised is actually $1200.</p>
<p>Kayak.com is what we use because it tracks the trends of flights and you can get a daily Kayak alert for the route you are interested in For exampel Paris to NYC. Just recently I was looking for a flight that was 1500 USD, I was tracking it and one day it came up at 560 USD, I immediately booked the flight and the next day it was back up to old price. M</p>
