I would like to fly myself, my wife and our 2.5 yr old daughter around the world but the prices are crazy.?

Question

I work in Kuwait and I want to obtain flights from Kuwait (KWI) to Phoenix, AZ (PHX) and then after about 2.5 weeks go to San Francisco (SFO) for a few days then off to Manila, Philippines (MNL) , then after about 2.2 weeks back to Kuwait. The problem is the cost, Northwest Airlines wants to charge about $13,000, I was freaking out and said; heck am I the only one paying for fuel?? I was shocked; I'm supporting the US Army here and find that I may not be able to go back until 1 more year after the fuel prices level off, if that's ever going to happen. It's really frustrating but I am proud to be doing what I'm doing, but I want to see if there is another way or a cheaper way. I appreciate any feedback and checked Travelocity and saw fares @ about $6,700.00 which may be my final alternative and best fares. Sincerely; Michael & Family

Answer 1

internet doesnt always have the cheapest fares for all around the world. im interning at this travel agency in los angeles and i was able to get something much cheaper

Answer 2

Yea, that's a bit much...

But honestly.

Your 2 and a hlaf year old daughter is gaureneed to remember absolutly nothing.

Quite honestly, if I were you I would wait.

It's no sense paying for someone who wont have the memories and enjoy it and your money payed to the fullest.

Try maybe when she is four years old?

Answer 3

Wait till the war is over, hopefully everyone will start seeing the gas prices go down.

Answer 4

You really shouldn't fly away from home. Children at the age of your daughter can be very annoying at some point (You gotta admit..). You can't what ever you want while they're with you.  So I advice you go to a more affordable trip because you won't enjoy this trip as much as you'll enjoy it in a few years when your daughter is a little older.
