I've got the card, can you recommend some US sites that I

I like to use www.cheaptickets.com to compare fares. But I've
relied on www.expedia.com (not the UK version) to book travel
on non-U.S. airlines for flights originating outside the U.S. For
some reason, Expedia seems adept at finding code-shared flights among
/foreign/ airlines with significant price differentials.

I recently took a flight from Athens to Frankfurt on Lufthansa for
a price that was cheaper using the Aegean Air flight-code, which
I only found on Expedia. I also used Expedia for a flight from
Venice to Rome on AirOne at a discount to what its code-share
partners were charging.

If flying on a U.S. air carrier, I'd use that carrrier's website but
give them a U.S. physical address, regardless of what e-mail
address you use for e-ticket delivery. =R=


Thanks to you and John.
I shall try expedia.com and the carrier next time. Since I have a US
bank account with a US physical address, it should be no problem. I wish
I'd asked before.
Just registered with Expedia.com and it works.
What's interesting is with the uk site, US Airways is cheapest, with the
US site, Delta is!
