Cheap Plane Tickets-Why Consider Non-US Airlines?

Unless you are a die-hard nationalist who is willing to empty your coffers to the US airlines, there is no reason why you shall not consider flying on non-US airlines. This is not to say that you shall not fly on US airlines but just to bring to your notice that there could be much cheaper and much more convenient flight choices available for travel on other airlines.

The best way to find the cheap plane tickets for international travel is to consider flying on the carriers of that particular country or some nearby country. For example, if you are flying to Dubai, why just consider flying on AA or Delta or United, why not check for Emirates, Etihad, Saudia or Qatar Airways? Similarly, if you are flying on a destination to Europe, say London, Paris or Berlin, why not fly on BA, Air France, Lufthansa, or for that matter, even on Norwegian. There are good chances that these carriers would be offering cheaper rates to passengers because these would certainly like to fly back with fuller seats. If you are ruling out flying on these carriers, then there are good chances that you are missing on lower airfares.

There is another dimension to why you shall enjoy flying on different carriers, not just sticking to the American ones. It is the nature of cabin experience you will be getting in these carriers. The crew members and their behavior is reflective of the culture of the country. The meals served could be interesting and to your liking. You will surely have a totally different cabin ambiance to experience. Seat layout, comfort level of seating, entertainment options, in-flight magazines and a whole lot of stuff would throw up a totally different experience.  Most of these international carriers offer free check in baggage allowances, better loyalty points earning and redemption chances and might also have lower ticket cancellation charges than American ones.

These are some of the things which would be to your liking. There could be many more. You just need to explore a bit with wide range of choices.
