How to...
 

Am new to Flyer Talk....how do I get help with a flight route/price I want to book?

Welcome to FT, have a read of this:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/infor...faqs-more.html

Your best bet is to contact a travel agency or try something like www.kayak.com or www.google.com/flights

Thanks a lot!
 

Appreciate the responses....a friend referred me to FlyerTalk as he said that it is for the community to help members find amazing flight deals....I expected that I would (as he told me it works) state where and when I want to go and the membership will respond with exactly where the amazing deals are for my desired plan. This is clearly not the case...I am quite capable of searching all the engines for the best deals they offer but I thought FT was more than that. Ah well...

Have a read of some of the forums here to get an idea of what FT does. This is a community of frequent travellers who share tips and experiences, but not a travel agency to find the lowest priced deals for people. FT is much more than it seems your friend thinks it is.

Welcome to FT.

In the thread that LondonElite posted, have a look at the Mileage Run Deals, Good Deals in Economy, and Premium Class Deals. While not quite what your friend suggested, it is a good place to look to find flight deals.

You may be able to get help from Dandealsforum.

Not quite. Members of FT do expect that you put a bit of effort in to it and post up what you've found and what you are looking for to better that. If you want to be spoon-fed then you're better off with a travel agent or someone you pay to do the work for you.

Thanks again

Welcome to Flyertalk smowjoe.

As others have mentioned FT doesn't really serve the direct function you are looking for. Are there amazing deals posted? Yes. Do they work for everyone? No. But by sticking around something should work for you.

We'll close this thread for now.
