I believe that you will have to either use an agency or buy her ticket from the airline directly (on-line or on the phone). You cannot book tickets for a foreign departure from Orbitz or Travelocity

Have your spouse/fiancee check at the local travel agents. I sent money to my Fiancee this week to buy hers. The best price I could find was $1100. I had her check and it only costs $640. I just looked for my round trip ticket and found the flight I wanted to purchase and gave her the flight details. Simple and saved me a ton..

I just did a little web surfing and found a good fare. Bought the ticket from the airline booking office in HCMC.

After Mai got the pink slip, we just went down to the Korean Air office and convinced them that in fact they COULD sell us a ticket like we wanted. We even convinced them they could sell us a ticket with a seat next to mine. Amazing, sometimes, their "can't do" attitudes. Almost reminds me of the U.S.

Since I had gone over to HCMC for her interview and booked the flight on China Air, I called them right after Thi got her pink slip. They couldn't book her on the same flight but would call me if something changed. They called back the next day saying they did have a seat on the flight but not next to me. They wouldn't book the flight until we showed up with her passport and visa in person and of course paid. They would hold the seat for us. We went there right after getting the visa from the Consulate. Once we actually got to the airport, they were able to seat us together. While I don't know if her seat was the cheapest fare we could get, it was an easy process and they were very helpful. I know my flight was the cheapest I could find at the time.

Hey Peter, good to hear from you.

Come to think of it, now that I've read Peter's post, I guess we did have to wait until the visa was issued one week later before we could buy the ticket. It's all a blur now, but it's coming back. Now I remember that the Consulate completely screwed up our plans of travelling to China or Singapore because Mai didn't have her passport for an entire week. As a result, we hung around Saigon the whole week, doing essentially nothing except having dinner every night at yet another stranger's house.

Erik,

Would your wife happen to remember the name and location of the travel agent she used?
