Thanks.I tried Kayak too.i guess the time period is what is causing the fares to be so expensive.I was looking for flights from accra ghana to denver Colorado and the price ranges from $2,000 to $3,000 in June.And I thought July was peak season.LOL.

There are websites that specialize in certain regions. For instance www.ctrip.com for China and parts of Asia. Here is one for Africa that might help www.vayama.com/cheap-flights/africa/ Where are you traveling to?

Are you lloking at One-way (immigrant) or round trip (non-immigrant) tickets? If you are looking at the flights on the airlines website, it could be challenging delta airlines does not allow you to book a flight originating from ACC (Accra-Ghana) online. If you provide further information on type of visa, it will be helpful in suggesting which airlines, costs etc. Personally, I prefer purchasing tickets directly from airlines.

You can try this. I personally used either Travelocity.com but now I am using Lufthansa.com as they are within a few dollars and I know I am going to be booking the flight on Lufthansa anyway. I always expect to pay around $2000 for the cheap flights and more than that for peak periods as I am going half way around the world. Remember that roundtrip tickets are usually cheaper than one-way--so most of us that had a K-1 buy the RT and cancel the return leg.

Good luck,

Dave

Concerning getting airline tickets. Is it wise to get a one way ticket while attending your fiancee's interview? Once he/she is approved, then we would get another one way ticket back to the States.

I've used both Kayak and SkyScanner; it pays to vary your day of the week travel time as well as time of year.

I have never been in such a situation but I would think it is logical for you to purchase a round-trip ticket (you may not be allowed into certain countries with a one-way ticket) because you are a "tourist" (technically). So, I would suggest you purchase a round-trip for yourself and puchase insurance on your ticket so that you can easily change your departure date and the purchase a one-way ticket for your fiancee for the same ailine (possibly change seats so you sit together :) on your way back to the United States. Good luck!
