What is a good intercontinental flights searching/booking website

What is a good intercontinental flights searching/booking website?
It's a lot of those if you just Google it of course, but I was curious if anyone has an actual positive experience with websites like this. What I need in particular is an intercontinental flight..from southern Europe to Chicago or Milwaukee in the US. And I need the cheapest I can find of course lol

There are many online flight booking websites, I've had the best experience with www.everydaytravelconnections.com I found most of the well-known "major" websites are owned by the same company (not much difference in prices). The problems is, if those are the only websites you search - then you might not know that other deals are available. Hope this helps!

I would recommend dohop.com, I have seen it recommended for finding great prices, especially on international flights.

You will have to fly to whatever U.S. destination (L.A. perhaps) and transfer from there.

walk very fast...but dont run

It seems that people think there are direct non-stop flights from one U.S. city as small as Reno(Nevada) to a great Asian destination like Manila(Phillpipnes)... There was a question posted a few months ago about a direct flight from London's Heathrow to Charlotte(NC)[I think?], and there were a few answers that the asker didn't want to see, just something that made her happy(to her, there WERE direct flights to Charlotte from Heathrow(and no one was to argue w/ her otherwise!)... To make this an appropriate answer, I say this: The only way to get to Singapore from Milwaukee is MILW to DIA(Denver), then to LAX, then to Singapore...

Take United Airlines if you want few stops: UA 0896 Singapore - Chicago UA 7894 Chicago - Milwaukee

I recommend that you the alliances website such as Star Alliance, SkyTeam and OneWorld. These websites gives you all the possible scheduling option available through their partner airlines. For example, if you use Star Alliance, you'll have the following schedule. Leg 1 - Singapore Airlines 12 09:40 Singapore Changi (SIN) -17:05 Tokyo Narita (NRT) Flight time: 6h25m Leg 2 - United Airlines 882 17:55 Tokyo Narita (NRT) - 14:23 Chicago O'Hare IL (ORD) Flight time: 11h28m Leg 3 - United Airlines 6773 (United Express) 15:45 Chicago O'Hare IL (ORD) - 16:34 Milwaukee WI (MKE) Flight time: 0h49m Total duration: 20 hours and 54 min which is the shortest time between Singapore and Milwaukee. Also, if you think the transit time in Tokyo is a little short for you, you can choose another flight such as All Nippon Airways NH12 that leaves Singapore at 8:45 am. If you just want to fly on United Airlines all the way, you can fly the following: Leg 1 - United Airlines 896 06:55 Singapore Changi (SIN) - 10:30 Hong Kong (HKG) Flight Time: 3h35m Leg 2 - United Airlines 896 11:35 Hong Kong (HKG) - 11:44 Chicago O'Hare IL (ORD) Flight Time: 14h09m Leg 3 - United Airlines 7894 (United Express) 14:15 Chicago O'Hare IL (ORD) - 15:04 Milwaukee WI (MKE) Flight Time: 0h49m Total duration of 22 hours and 9 minutes. Anyway, it gives you many options and chose the best option for you and book it on the same website. If you use SkyTeam, you'll be flying Northwest Airlines all the way for a total time of 22 hours and 4 minutes. NW 006 Singapore (SIN) 06:00 AM Tokyo (NRT) 01:40 PM NW 020 Tokyo (NRT) 03:10 PM Minneapolis (MSP) 11:05 AM NW 791 Minneapolis (MSP) 01:00 PM Milwaukee (MKE) 02:04 PM OneWorld has the longest time with 25 hours and 10 minutes. 08:15 Singapore - 15:55 Tokyo (Japan Airlines) 19:15 Tokyo - 15:55 Chicago (American Airlines) 18:40 Chicago - 19:25 Milwaukee (American Eagle) Another option would be to fly non-stop to Los Angeles (SQ 38) or Newark (SQ 22) then fly out next day on Midwest Airlines direct to Milwaukee. There are no flight to Milwaukee after SQ flight arrives at either location. Good luck.

Anyone had any experiences with Travelocity or Expedia

Anyone had any experiences with Travelocity or Expedia?
I'm about to go to a conference in Milwaukee and thinking about booking my flight and hotel with either Travelocity or expedia but I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with these online travel agencies or any others that were good- In addition, I've never used these online sites before so I was wondering what your opinions were for customer service, if you had any problems with them (and if so, if it ever got resolved), if the sites are safe (such as putting in credit card info), and if they are reputable. Thanks!

I book frequently on Expedia and have never had a problem. I even booked a 2 week multi-city trip to Egypt and Jordan on Expedia, and all of the hotels had my reservation with requests and all. The primary thing to watch out for is that many of the hotels are non-cancelable, so you need to read the fine print before booking. (Usually Expedia partner hotels with discounts are non-cancelable, and the non-partner hotels with no discounts are cancelable.) You can also enter your frequent flier #s onto their website, and they'll pass it along to the airline on your reservation. You can sort hotels by price or location, and filter by # of stars (so, for example, you can eliminate 2 star hotels if you want a nicer place). I've never had a problem w/ the credit card on their site, but if you're nervous you can call your card # in -- they have a toll free #. Usually Expedia gives a small discount (around $20-50) for booking hotel and flights together. Expedia does have traveler reviews, but I found that http://www.tripadvisor.com has even more reviews, so I usually use them. Happy travels!

Travelocity and Expedia have expensive travel package. I recommend when you book go to http://www.firstworldclasstravel.com They give excellent travel package rate.

I booked a 10 day trip to LA from Toronto and it was great. I booked a flight into Anaheim with a Hotel for 3 days then drove to Beverly Hills for the remainder and flew out of LAX. Expedia set up all my flights, both my hotels, as well as my rental car and it prints everything out all in a nice itinerary. With all the flight numbers and confirmation numbers for the planes, hotels, and cars. It really makes for a hassle free trip. They give you options to change your flights so you can pick a time that suits you or just pick the cheapest one. And to top it off out of all the places to book out there this was the cheapest one i found and it was also the easiest to do.

My family and I recently went to Amsterdam and I checked Expedia, Travelocity, and The Butner Travel Group. The best rate I received was with The Butner Travel Group. All of our airfare and hotel accomidations were exqusite. Go to: www.thebutnertravelgroup.com

First off, I thought I'd check out the pricing on Kayak. Are you familiar with that site? http://www.kayak.com They search all the other travel sites for you. It looks like Midwest Express is indeed the cheapest fare, tied with AirTran. They listed a price of $94 for the 24th and $90 for the 25th. Regarding coupons, I found a few on this site: http://deallocker.com/coupon/midwestairlines.com/ I'm always very skeptical of these sites. Most of the time they are just shames, looking for you to click on their ads. However, I recently purchased a very expensive piece of jewelry online, and I actually got several hundred dollars off using a promo code I found on a website. It was a really old code, and the customer service rep didn't recognize it, but since it was still active I got to use it! Good luck.
