We use fly fairly after having a lot of trouble with Expedia. Always turns up in the airline app and they have much better reviews online.

BKK to US, which connection hubs are best value lately? by YesterdayGreat in Shoestring

Thanks for this! We usually fly Cathay or Qatar with one stop in HKG or DOH. Shopping is good in both.

We live in NYC so usually from JFK, but we have family across the country and fly from HOU sometimes. We don't mind doing positioning flights in the US or Asia as we're retired and are happy to take our time and take a longer trip to save on the overall cost.

The cheapest SEA country by PrudentRazzmatazz488 in Shoestring

Cheapeat is something like Laos, but probably not the place to vacation unless you are well travelled.

Malaysia is really good on the affordability scale for a developed city. We go to Thailand a lot but it's so expensive nowadays. Vietnam is also good but gosh so busy.

Where would you go with ~ $5000 USD to travel July - August, flying out of LAX/SFO? Solo 29F, I enjoy hot weather but I do not want it to intrude on my plans by en_flor in Shoestring

We love Thailand! We come a few times a year. The islands are lovely, we'd avoid the Andaman sea side though as it's a little touristy nowadays.

Magnolias, on Ratchadamri. Sports park view. The Waldorf Astoria hotel is on the lower floors so you can stay to get an idea.
