Jeroen of Nat Tours behind the D&D in here in the Khao San Road said astutely.
Flying Around The World

Short Hauls are getting cheaper, long Haul is getting more expensive because the cost of Fuel. Used to be the cost of flying from Europe to Asia was the same as say flying from London to Greece. Now with the Low Cost Carrier book online revolution, a person can fly from London to Greece and go on vacation cheaper.

European people are staying in Europe more for Vacations, and exploring Europe. Most European young backpacker know the world outside of Europe better than Europe because the cost to Backpack Europe is atrocious compared to South America or Asia.

American know or pay to Backpack Europe more, but that is just because this is status symbol compared to saying they did Asia or South America. Backpacking is about saying to friends, I went here, more than actually saying I went here because I wanted to see this. Bragging helps promote some of the worst places on the planet for value of trip, compared to what you see.

Europe is not cheap with trains, it is cheap by internet purchase of LCC. Asia is not getting cheaper by Low Cost Carriers, inside the USA is slowly getting cheaper, but no public transport after you arrive.

Africa is just nuts on price, central America is best by bus, Mexico is Mexico. Arab countries are best eaten one at a time, then fly the coop, best to get a 10 day layover as you fly from Europe to Asia, included in the fare, easy to do in Bangkok with Jeroen,, give me a ticket please with 20 days in Manila on the way to the USA, or give me a 10 days in Dubai on the way to London.

The cost of fuel has made the long haul more expensive, plus the dollar exchange is not good.

West Africa Jump Gates

West Africa Jump Gates

I have two possible go by land travel path that lead to Jump Gates. Hmm, I know what I mean, but nobody else does, hard to ignore people reading unless you are just very self-centered, I try, but just hard to turn empathy off.



I am in Accra and the heavy black arrows represent the two possible paths towards I hope Jump Gates. I am in Accra, Ghana probably the best Jump Gate for travel in and out of West Africa.

I more or less try to travel between Air Jump Gates by land and when I play the Travel Golf wrong, I have to dollar-my-way out, throw them down until I can leave.

I am searching for the air ticket for less than 400 US one-way to London, England or Frankfurt, Germany, or 750 US to Southeast Asia. To fly into Paris, France is cheaper, yet when I land I get hike up by the French cost of living, so not much good. England and German are expensive; however, they have a realistically priced Hostel system if I am stuck.

The best way it to just Jump Jump, I can Jump Jump to London, Frankfurt or Casablanca. However, I am in Accra, Ghana and best to buy the ticket here unless I already am sure there is a ticket from any of the onward tickets is priced right.

I want to transit in Europe, I do not want to stay in Europe.

I want Accra to USA or Southeast Asia for around 750. Europe to USA or Southeast Asia for around 400, to go to Asia, it almost demands I go to Germany. I am traveling towards winter, so not good options.

Low Cost Carriers

LCC - Cheapest Tickets on the Internet, maybe I have a search tool.

Low Cost Carriers or the LCC are a windfall for me and the world of travelers, or a curse if used wrong.

A LCC is a cheap airplane fare, not sold by a travel Agent, normally only sold on the internet, and purchased online using a Credit Card or Debit Card to pay, then you are issued an E-ticket.

The Tickets sold by Travel Agent are more expensive, however can sell combination and other constructed tickets easier. Plus you get advice on Visas, etc, and told many fun lies.

What would be nice is to search for LCC Low Cost Carriers from one city to another. I do not know how, presently go to this page of Wiki and find the country, and then spend a lot of time clicking.

Maybe this works, not sure yet, this needs a Beta Check by the Hobos.

Some person Rudy, profile on Blogger.com now shown, posted and off topic comment, then did not make a functional link, so I refused. However, the idea is novel and if it is true, is a great idea.

Search for a LCC from one city, then find where they fly?

I think it works, just did Bangkok, and all seem a go, a great tool. Craig of Travelvice.com in Bangkok now, could figure out how to escape Bangkok cheaper.

Africa is dominated by expensive carriers, and seems to have a lock on the idea of making Air Tickets expensive; however, Europe and Asia are perfect places for LCC Flights.

WARNING: Check the weight, I purchased a ticket with Ryanair.com for 4 pounds in the UK, and ended up paying 120 pound because of all the extra weight and other problems. Also, include the cost of getting to the LCC airport, the cost of a train from central London to Stansted was 15 pound.

The LCC will get you on the weight of your bags.

The link to the left should explain how to make a link function or clickable.
