How do I find Cheap Flights?

Your tickets to Damascus will be expensive. If you are flying from the United States it can cost anywhere from $1,200 to $2,300 for round trip airfare. Factor this in to your overall costs. Finding cheap flights is often one of the most difficult tasks of traveling to the Middle East. No matter what you try, the cost will be significant. The earlier you buy tickets the better. Below we provide links, tips, and other information as well as contact information for two travel agents we recommend using.

A few hints:
1. Spend the extra time to compare prices.
2. Buy tickets as soon as possible.
3. Try leaving a day later or arriving a day earlier to see if changing your departure days significantly reduces the price. Keep in mind if you do arrive early or stay late you will need to find housing.
