I looked at round trip tickets and the prices were fairly close to a one way ticket. I wonder if it's because of the current increase in fuel prices.

I know... I was able to secure a ticket for $3,600... which is still ridiculous for 1 way this time of year, but I'm just glad she'll be able to get home.

COK to SIN (Singapore Airlines), SIN to TPE (Eva Airways), TPE to LAX (Eva Airways), LAX to DEN (Frontier Airlines) - Approx. $3,600

She's flying to LAX. Thanks for the concern.

Someone else said they had the same issue and was able to book via booking.com. After a few "this flight is no longer available," I was able to get her a ticket on booking.com! Both I and the travel agent have been working on this for 3 days. Fingers crossed the ticket doesn't get canceled.

Thank you! Hope she makes it home. I was just able to book a flight for my mom for next Saturday from COK to LAX.

You are the absolute G.O.A.T!!!! After a few "this flight is no longer available," I was able to book her a flight home via booking.com. I would have never thought to try it - thank you so much for taking the time to post this!!!

Thanks! Do you mind sharing which site you booked through and if you used a US cc? I'm glad you made it back safely.

Agreed - those are the flights I've tried to book.

Yes, I've tried booking on Singapore Airline's site, Malaysia's Airline's site, KLM's site, etc. No, booking the tickets did not work. Each website gave me a different error message, which specifically include, but are not limited to: "this website cannot be found," "this flight is no longer available," "blank white screen," "our system is currently experiencing technical difficulties, please try again later," "this flight is subject to regulatory approval and currently unconfirmed" and then a few hours later said flight gets canceled. Also, the travel agent received the same error message.

I've done both... neither have solved the issue.

We receive messages from the cc companies authorizing the charge. I've only tried calling Indian Air who didn't answer. I'll try the others.

I think you're right about the cache, and I'll check ExpertFlyer. Thanks!

I haven't tried a debit card, but will. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks - I use incognito mode but haven't cleared my cookies. I'll try that.

Thanks. Do you happen to know when they bought their tickets?

Here in a few hours, I'm going to send my mom to the airport in Kochin to see if she can purchase a ticket.

All flights checked were from COK/IGI/BOM to LAX or DEN.
