Flight Deals
Mongers require a lot of travel on international flights. So For a Monger Like me I need to find Good Travel deals. One site I use is Skyscanner.com . It's kinda of search for low fares and locates lower fares then most other search engines. Off course there is several other options. You can book directly on the airlines. The Asian airlines are lower price then all of the American airlines. I find the cheapest of the Asian airlines to be china airlines. Your going to have to google that because the URL escapes me at the moment. On skyscanner a trip to the Philippines cost me around $1000 give or take a hundred or so and the flight to Bangkok about the same. Keep in mind it depends on the time of year and how far in advanced you are booking your trip. In peak times I have seen them start at $1500 or so and go up to the $2k - $3k range.
Miles Programs
I am a member of Hawaiian miles program. They don't fly to many places but you can use your miles on any partner. It costs around 80,000 miles to fly to Bangkok on American airlines through the Hawaiian partner program. I am currently at around 23000. I got a long way to go and the flights to Bangkok to pay on Hawaiian miles costs around $3000. I only joined because I can get miles for my search activity online. I use the Internet a lot so eventually I will get there. I am also a member of delta sky miles and united miles, but I don't have many miles on those programs.
