Thanks for the advice everyone. Is Bukhari a person? I did a search on the Internet: is
this what you mean?
I have checked Emirates prices a few times, they are insane, even 6 months prior to travel they are expensive. I was checking for someone else though, but soon it will my money at stake. I checked direct with their call centre.
I have used PIA call centre as well - any idea which airlines it is worth to go through the airline and where you should use a travel agent for sure?
I like the idea of traveling around the promotion but I think a lot of times, the promotions get sold out. And when a person is open to travel anywhere, on any date, that person is unsure of what to do.
I think a lot of people use Turkish these days and Malaysian may be discounted. But frankly I am afraid of using Malaysian. They have had a shocking year, I mean no survivors in both cases! I feel so sorry for those families. As scary is PIA. Many people have got sick after eating on the flights - I know this from relatives and friends - so be careful on PIA.
I am not an experienced traveler and basically, I would like to make a few trips. I don't have a lot of money but I don't want to sit on the money and waste my years not going anywhere. I intend to travel to Dubai, some place in East Asia - don't know where yet, and maybe Europe. The visa for Europe may be a problem so this is a big maybe, plus it will be expensive. So maybe I should substitute for Europe. Dubai and Middle East is not different enough from Pakistan, they are also racist like us. I really want to visit some place where people are not as materialistic and, simultaneously, such firm believers in magic.
Hey thanks again, I hope this thread can serve as a resource for inexperienced and relatively poor travelers like me. If I move forward with my planning, I will update.
