Budget Travel - Bucket shop and Consolidator tickets

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello, I'm wondering if there is such a thing as Bucket Shop and Consolidator tickets originating in another country other than the U.S.? Where do residents of other countries buy their "cheap" tickets? Specifically, I need tickets for myself and friends from Barcelona to the U.S. East and West coasts. I've been shopping expedia.com etc but I find the prices to be too expensive. The consolidator tickets that are purchased in the U.S. must originate in the U.S. Any suggestions?

check the sunday paper in the travel section. my friends who live in ireland have found good deals in the paper.

Thanks for the tip, I'm assuming you mean the Sunday paper of a Spanish Newspaper?

sure, check out the international version of the NY times. or something along those lines.

The two places in Europe that are famous for bucket shops that I know of (and there are probalby others) are London and Athens.

Not sure how convenient that would be to purchase from BCN, but I suspect that there may well be someting in BCN itself.

sta travel agencies in europe are good as well. For England:
www.statravel.co.uk


They offer excellent fares to students & those under 35, but, their regular fares are very competitive as well. :)
