I really find it quite exasperating answering the same question time and time again. Look, websites are travel agents, just like high street travel agents. A big agent has the big contracts and small travel agents have the (only slightly) smaller contracts - and Travelocity is one of the biggest. If they have a fare of $100, then you can search all you like it will still cost $100. There is no secret supply of mega-cheap tickets, that air tickets are available for next to nothing on some mythical website is just that - a myth and in travel, just like anything else - if it seems to good to be true, it invariably is. In any event, you do not want a 14 year old young lass travelling about changing in foreign airports. Do yourself a favour, go back to Travelocity (or go and see a good IATA High Street agent - one that knows what they are doing) and get a sensible ticket. Otherwise you will wind up finding that you may have saved $20 but your daughter sudddenly has to overnight in some remote airport, somewhere.

Hello, and welcome to the 21st century. In the 21st century, we find the cheapest airline tickets by buying our tickets from travel sites like the ones you listed, or sometimes even buying them directly from the airline. The biggest ones are also the ones that offer the cheapest tickets, as they buy larger numbers of seats from the airlines, and consequently get better bulk discounts, which they then pass on to the customer in order to safe them money. But travel sites have to make money somehow, so they tack an extra fee on, so buying from directly from the airline is sometimes cheaper than buying through a travel site.

If for some reason you did want to find an individual travel agent, then the way you go about doing that is by looking in a phonebook. We still have those now. You can even find them online. Posting on a random site asking if anyone there happens to be a travel agent is not the most efficient way to do this.

However, tickets for unaccompanied minors generally have to be purchased directly from the airline, rather than through a travel site (or a travel agent). Policies vary among airlines, so you'd have to check with the airline you were planning to fly before purchasing the ticket. Most airlines only require kids to fly as unaccompanied minors if they're under 11 or 12, but some do require it up to 14, especially for international flights.

If you 14 year old child is flying alone and there is a stop-over your child would escorted to the waiting area by were the plane is being/going to be parked. If your child needs to get a connecting flight then a flight attendant will escort them to the gate and then another person in charge will look after them and get them on the plane. FlightCentre, Skyservice and air canada are pretty cheap and have good UM services.

Answer 5

If the 14 yrs-old is traveling alone..Choose only direct flight.
You did not mentionned from where he/she will be leaving, so go with EL-AL (Los Angeles, NY) or from New York: ISRAIR.
Do not have your kid ao alone in cites that are not familiar or cannot speak/write their language.
The cheapest right now would be ELAL (no charge for ticketing thru their website). Ex. L.A.-TLV is $1745.00 direct and non-stop.
If you really care about your child's safety, price doesn't matter.
