Agreed with utousucks..! I used to fly every six month (with Thai Airlines) and used couple of Bay area Nepali travel agents (Third Eye Travel and Holiday Adv. Travel). My experience tells me that they are there just to make money.. yes, just to make $$$..! Once you buy your ticket with them, their job is done and they forget you. One more time I thought of buying ticket with them thinking that their ticket (discounted tickets given to them from airlines) would be cheaper. But, no..! Tickets weren't cheap, rather I found Economy 'K' class ticket were $200 more (from both travel agents) than what I really found in Cathy's web site. So, I booked my ticket on Cathy's web site for $1,237 on 'K' class whereas Nepali travel agents in Bay Area were asking me $1,408 to $1,567. I'm flying in March 6th with 'K' class and going to upgrade to Business class.  

Boys and girls, be smart..! Do lots of research before you pay your hard earned dollar to these Nepalese travel agents in US thinking that they might help you and get you cheaper tickets. Understand that they are no better than any American business in US. Buy ticket online directly from airlines web site. Also, I do not recommend third party web site like cheapticket or travelocity dot com. Go directly to airlines. If you live in West coast, get Cathy+Dragon airlines ticket because it is cheapest among Thai, Korean, and Singapore+Silk air.....!
