Alien Flight

If you are flexible in your travel times or dates, you can try going “standby" on an airline and waiting until someone cancels and a seat becomes free. Thus you'll be able to get a low cost last minute ticket.

It sometimes happens that people purchase tickets in advance, but then their plans change. When those tickets are non-refundable, they may try and sell them to receive at least some of their money back. You can take advantage of these discounted prices. You can find on-sale tickets in such places as your local classifieds, online auctions, or with search engines.

By trying some of these techniques you'll be able to find one that appeals to you the most. The result will be your satisfaction from the fact that you are flying to the foreign country at the best possible price, and maybe even first class!
