Hey guys - I was wondering if any of you guys have any information on where to get cheap flights from LAX (or anywhere else in the states) to any of the above places. It has been my dream for a long time to visit east asia and finally today, my husband has said 'lets do it!!'. Flights from the us are so expensive and I figured that someone here would be able to point me in the right direction to a good site or information. thanks

Check out EVA airlines (their hub is in Taiwan) and also Asiana(hub is in South Korea). Flying from Seattle, these two airlines always give me the best prices. If you need to make changes on your return date they are also pretty flexible and usually no extra charge. I've bought online and also from local agent specializing in Asian destinations. I've enjoyed all my trips to Vietnam and Cambodia where my fiancee is at now. I'll be going one last time some time this month....yeah! Good luck and have fun on your trip! Let me know if there's anything else you wanna know about either country.

EVA has a bit of a deal if you book by tomorrow Taiwan time. http://www.evaair.com/html/b2c/english/dea..._LAX-070601.htm

I do suggest going for deluxe class if you can afford it, its worth it.

Eva is cheap and you might also take a look at Northwest, my friend always flies with them when he comes to visit from the Philippines.

I usually always fly Northwest, but it really depends on where you are located. If you are close to LAX, there are a lot of choices. I'm in Tucson now, so my choices are somewhat limited for good prices, even if I fly out of Phoenix.

You can always get a ticket to LAX and then book a separate flight out of LAX to your destination. Thats what I do, since most of the choices out of Minneapolis to Indonesia are expensive. NWA.com at best, is $3000, most of the options are $8000

Orbitz has some other options, with the cheapest being, NWA and China Airlines. But I prefer flying on EVA, and its about the same price. Even if I have to book segments seperatly.

American airlines are pretty competitive to common places like the Philippines and Thailand, but suck for more unusual destinations like Indonesia.

Thats what I was thinking about too as I live in Tucson Cant get ANY cheap flights internationally from here!!!! So ... LAX is the next option! Thanks for all the info guys

When and how long you want to travel to Southeast Asia? If you flight in Bangkok or HCMC or HK, that will determine the final price for your initial entry cost into SE.
Most of the vietnamese I know book their tickets from their trusted asian agents Price ranging from $800-$1300 depend which time of the year are you going to travel there.

PM if you need help

Just taking a look at Orbitz, it would cost maybe $200 for a flight from Tuscon to LAX. Then a flight from LAX to BKK on Eva is a bit over $1000. So say $1200 total. Now I just did a flight from Tuscon to BKK on Eva and it's just a shade under $1200. These were just some dates I put in randomly. I won't be going back there until around my fiancee's interview. Hopefully prices will remain decent when that time comes up.

You can get flights to LAX from Tucson for under $90 each way with southwest! Infact, last time we went it was $47 each way, but thats coz we have a military discount!

Now decided that we want to fly into Hanoi and just explore a bit of Vietnam and venture on into China a little before heading back to Hanoi for the return flight. We were looking to go in May for 2 - 3 weeks. The cheapest I've found so far is $950 to Hanoi and $889 to SGN.

That is a really good price. I hope to find something under $1000 if possible to BKK when I go the next time.

www.uttours.com, that's your best bet. Asiana's usually the cheapest, but Ive always flown EVA...just becuase I have their Diamond card or whatever and get all sorts of addes perks, I like the VIP lounges.
