are you here on line henia? Could i talk to you on msn or something?? i can never figure out this chat line here on the forum it never works for me?? lol . In the past, I have usually flown to Paris for as cheap as I could and then ive tried both AIR ALGERIE AND AIGLE AZUR from PARIS TO ALGERIA and I have found that AIGLE AZUR was cheaper for me. But each time it can change so i always double check my routes. As you know, we are more limited into and out of there because there arent too many airlines that fly into there right now unfortunately

We have that new Montreal/Algiers flight that just started up now too -my husband has finally just been approuved his PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS here for Canada so i will probably be booking him on that one way as soon as he gets the visa from the Embassy. Then I have to add another one way Montreal to Calgary where i am on top of that

I usually do quite a bit of research though before I book it because there are some charter flights out of Canada to europe that operate in the summer too and sometimes that can make a savings on the ticket costs.

Hi Jesse -from what I was reading -if I am able to get the tour company to courrier the ticket right to you -instead of having to come to the travel agency first where i work -it should be around 9.00USD , if they insisted on sending the ticket to the agency first -then it could be as high as 25.00USD cos they use FEDEX from the looks of things. I would then just courrier it out to you in that case thru the travel agency.

At least this route isnt too bad -not like some of those "SCENIC ROUTES" Ive seen where it takes 4 flights in each direction! lol! one would wind up a zombie by the time one arrived! I am assuming you already have your passport and visa in order due to the short time period involved -between today and the departure date?

Mona, right now I am actually in the US and want to return to Alger next month. I booked a flight on Air Royal Maroc for $900 but if I can find for less, I am all for it.

Jesse -can you ask your husband if they would accept just an ITINERARY and not an actual ticket just to get the visa ? that would be easy to do -we could always just put together a flight itinerary to show them -something that would show your flight details? not actually going ahead and paying for anything yet until you got your visa in order?

on the website it says proof of confirmed non refundable round trip tickets. its a pain in the butt.......

that is a pain in the butt -i am always leary with something like this -what if they ever said no -what then? You can bet your boots they wouldnt graceously give you a refund on the ticket!

yepper i know. i am hoping that once it gets approved at the foriegn ministry in Saudi, that once it reaches the embassy here its a matter of lookin at the application and stamping. i dont have a criminal record so i cant see why they would deny me. we will find out this weekend Inshallah!
