    Does anybody know the cheapest airline to travel to nam. Or a search engine that searches flights?

    Why's he a joker? He's pointed out an obvious answer.

    To be honest why don't you google cheap flights, search for your dates, then check directly with the airlines. Little bit of work and your laughing!
    How are you expecting boardies here to recommend airlines that may not suit your dates, number of stopovers, etc.

    If you are looking for a cheap way to get to Asia and then book local flights, more people might be able to help from previous experience.

    What difference does that make? You've searched your dates on skyscanner and got your prices. It doesn't matter who I found to be cheapest - I travelled on different dates.

    Yes, it does matter who you found the cheapest.

    Skyscanner came up with 2 flights. 1 was €604 and the other couldn't give me a price, it just had -- beside the price. I asked a friend who traveled there and he told me to check out the cathy pacific website who returned a price of €540.... SO.. Skyscanner did not return the best price.

    If someone asked me what was the cheapest airline that goes between Dublin and London I would tell them to check out Ryanair etc..

    All I am asking is IF someone traveled there before. Do they have any tips on finding the best deals on flights. I will search more thoroughly tonight when I get home.

    I am probably asking in the wrong place as well.

    I asked in the travel section and this is the reply i got..

    "Air India are cheap if you can get availability but its 2 stops to get there.

    Air France aren't too bad, and have a direct connection from paris to Ho chi Minh."

    and that was the help i was looking for.
