Buying inexpensive airline tickets

You can do quite well with the Yahoo online reservation service. For international flights, one should be looking at least three months in advance. For some international flights, one can do much better by buying tickets through a European travel agent, such as the Dutch agency air fair. Their home page is in Dutch, but they respond to e-mail in English! Another possibility is 1-800-FLY-CHEAP, provided that they will really do business by e-mail. Dialing their 800 number can be a drag.
