Purchasing ticket in Europe
 
How can I purchase a ticket from Amsterdam to Vilnius Lithuania for travel next month.
I am located in US and going to Europe by boat.
How do I get a foreign travel agent so I can make the purchase?
Thanks

What airline are you flying?

I know that KL/AF and SK have several daily AMS-VNO flights.

Why not just purchase the ticket from the airline's website and have the ticket/e-ticket/receipt sent to your U.S. address before you leave?

US travel agents (including the likes of Expedia) can issue such tickets. The price might be different (for the worse) than those issued in Europe.

You can use itasoftware.com and play with the Sales City (try AMS for the Neatherlands) to see this.

Also check out LCC web sites. EasyJet, RyanAir, etc. These don't show up on the GDS systems.

In response to the OP, if you go to itasoftware.com and click on the "Looking for Airfares" button (log in as guest) you get to a standard interface for getting tickets. The Sales City option allows you to see how the ticket would be priced in different countries. If the ticket you want it similar in price when purchased in BOS (US) vs. AMS (NL), then just buy it here (Expedia, etc.)

Upon brief inspection, it seems you'll pay approximately $360 (US) or €270 (NL) r/t AMS-VNO.

You can use ITA to find the carrier you want, in this case probably Lithuanian Airlines, and then go to their website and hope they offer eticketing using US credit cards.

Edit: RyanAir flies to KUN (near VNO) but not from AMS, so no good. EasyJet does not fly to VNO. I don't have a list of European LCCs, perhaps Google "VNO airlines" and "KUN airlines" to find a list.
