Most people have a dream holiday destination that they wish they could go to, but some just have busy lives and no time for vacations.Other people have all the time in the world, but just not the money to travel and stay somewhere. That is normally the case as flight tickets can sometimes be very high, of course depending on where you are going or which class you will fly in, but if you come across discount air travel in your search to find cheap tickets, you might just be able to make it!
But then of course that’s only the flights that are paid for, what about the expenses once you arrive? You will have to sort that out; if you don’t have the finances for that, try saving over a few months and you are sure to have more than enough to spend while you are away and maybe bring back a souvenir or two! You should also do research on the place you are interested in visiting, make yourself aware of what things cost over there. That will help to determine approximately how much money you are going to need to last you the duration of your stay.
There are many places where one can find discount air travel tickets,you will just have to search a bit. You can visit your nearest travel agency store and see what they have to offer, or you could look online. You might not find anything the minute you look but keep trying; there are millions of pages on the internet and lots of travel agencies. You are bound to find discount air travel somewhere along the line. When you visit a travel agency, ask them about the deals they have at the moment, don’t just look around and not see anything advertised then leave,speak to a consultant and ask them what they have for you.

1. Encashing frequent flyer miles is one of my favorite methods to get discount air tickets on subsequent purchases.
2. Online travel services like Orbitz, Travelocity and BookingBuddy allow customers to choose selected flights whenever deeper discounts become available. Other services such as Priceline may allow customers to bid for lower price airline tickets, but they can also require immediate purchase of those tickets or a much more flexible schedule.
3. If you belong to an auto club, or to Sam’s Club or Costco, it is helpful to compare rates there too. Companies like AAA or Costco sometimes offer the best prices for plane tickets online or offline.
4. A travel agency is a time-tested source for discount air tickets. Here the agent can negotiate a package deal to lower the price of airline tickets as long as a specific hotel or car rental is booked.
5. A major airline sometimes uses discounts to encourage the use of its low-price commuter service. Occasionally airlines compete for business through 'fare wars', which may lower the price of tickets by as much as 40%.
The key is to look out for those little-known ways you can travel for cheap without having to forgo the 'luxuries'.

For the purposes of buying airline tickets, those kids are considered adults. You did not indicate your origin or destination city but check the following sites:

You don't really have much of a choice for domestic air travel in Vietnam, either Pacific Airlines or Vietnam Airlines are your best (and only) options. Air Asia, a large budget airline in Asia is planning on beginning domestic service in the future, but it's still a ways off, but that should help to bring down the costs and provide more options, but for now there isn't much of a choice. You can check online, but is easily arranged once you get to Saigon.

Try Expedia.com . I fly to Europe several times a year and they usually have the lowest prices when I'm looking. Other things you can do to get a lower price…try to fly between Tuesday and Thursday. Weekends are higher. Avoid traveling near a major holiday, if possible. Search for tickets at any time of day if you can be flexible. Certain times of day are more expensive than others. Are you heading to a particular city in Europe or just anywhere cheap? London often has very good flight prices but it's expensive once you get there. There are some budget carriers in Europe that you might be able to use if you are planning to travel around after you arrive. Check out http://www.ryanair.com , http://www.easyjet.com and http://www.bmibaby.com These might allow you to fly to whatever European city you find good fares to and then cheaply move to another location. It's often cheaper that way than booking a US carrier into a less-traveled destination.

cheaptickets.com…. travelocity.com…. expedia.com..the old standby, priceline.com
CAREFUL… cheap means no changes or you pay huge fees to adjust your travel days! Make real sure the schedule you're buying is one you can actually use…
