One of the most important aspects of getting the best travel deals is to look at the right places and based on our own experiences and personal preferences, here's are the the sites below that we strongly recommend you to start your research plans from.

They are not particurlarly listed in any particular order as all of them are very good for getting the best deals for almost any travel vacations for any traveller's whim and fancy. Of course, for getting the best discounted air ticket deals, we prefer Economy Travel and Airtreks.

1) Economy Travel

Economy Travel have consolidator contracts (wholesale rates) with 24 of the world’s leading airlines and have full access to the product range of all international and domestic carriers. It uses a sophisticated database search engine that allows it to provide the lowest airfares regardless whether it is a published fare (airline fare sale) or wholesale fare (consolidator fare). A well established consolidator since 1988 and based in the US.

2) Airtreks

Planning a round-the-world ( RTW) itinerary is no easy task and there are multiple factors that an RTW traveller will have to consider in arranging the itinerary. As such, round-the-world tickets are best left to the expertise of a truly specialised RTW international travel agent or travel player.

The best round-the-world international travel agent or agency in the RTW business for expertise, reliability and customer service is in our view, undoubtedly Airtreks. Airtreks' unique global sourcing strategy and proprietary technology make it possible for it to offer international air tickets at substantial discounts from the published fares offered by airlines, typical travel agencies, or other airfare Web sites.

For complex RTW itineraries, Airtreks is certainly the market leader in this field and we strongly recommend the agency for its strong expertise and wide range of experience in the RTW industry.

Many of its customers hold an International Student Identity Card (ISIC), International Youth Travel Card (IYTC), or International Teacher Travel Card (ITIC). Backed by UNESCO, these cards reward students, youth, and teacher status by providing value offers and discount opportunities. All these cards are regulated by the International Student Travel Confederation of which STA Travel is a leading member.

Given its established history and network worldwide, STA Travel is the undoubted leader in the student and youth airfares market.
